I loved the Card Kit of the Month so much that I have two kit cards to share today. My first card uses the Messages Clear Stamp Set that's included. I simply stamped and die cut three of balloons to be the centerpiece of this quick and easy birthday card (ink used: Soft Blossom, Butter Bar, and Pink Grapefruit). I heat embossed the sentiment in Brass powder (my favorite embossing powder - I have three jars of the stuff).

The background uses an older birthday themed stencil called Dancing Lines and, naturally, I used it with Glitter Paste. Once dried I die cut the panel from the Postage Stamp Infinity Dies.

My second card kit card uses the beautiful Tulip Heroscape that's included.

Don't you just love a good HeroScape?! I inked my tulips in Soft Blossom and Azalea, and the grass is inked in Green Hills and Field Greens. The background uses yet another item from the kit - the Circling Cloud cling stamp.

To finish off this one I simply quick-colored those darling insects with Copics and added the 'hello' sentiment to the center. Perfect for any occasion!

My last card today features the February Clear Set + Dies called Lovely Flowers.

When the images are so beautiful, cards just make themselves! I stamped three of the flowers and one pot, colored them with Copics, and die cut. The sentiment is embossed with Brass powder.

The background panel is stamped from the beautiful Festive Pattern cling stamp, inked in Kiwi. I layered that with the Wood Frame Infinity Die cut from Nautical cardstock.
