If you love coloring, this delicious card is for you. Color up this sweet cake stamp, and give a card that’s a real treat!
Birthdays are always fun, especially when there’s cake and ice cream, right?!…Maybe some people only like cake by itself or ice cream by itself but why not have it all?!…That’s what our designer, Shelly, did for this birthday card, cake and ice cream, together. We love a clean and simple project that allows us to use our markers and color up a beautiful stamp set. Not only is coloring therapeutic, but in this case, it create a work of art good enough to eat! Follow along as Shelly shows us how to make a sweet birthday card for a friend.
- Start with using a piece of white marker friendly cardstock.
- Stamp on cake slice image from 3413 Dessert stamp set using black ink. Set aside. *note: stamp a little towards the top of the cardstock from the center.
- Stamp the same image onto a post-it note or piece of paper. (you want to make a ‘mask’)
