Quick & Easy Coloring with Sponge Daubers and the Friendly Hello Stamp Set & Designer Series Paper

Hello my crafting friends,

Today I am excited to share that I was recently invited to the Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team. This group of amazing designers create fun challenges each month. We each then design a project around the challenge. Everyone is invited to participate in the challenge each month. Share your project on IG or FB then tag #stampinfancyfriday when you post it. They will share in their stories to inspire others as well!

The first challenge of 2022! It's all about BIRTHDAYS! 🎂 Make sure to check out all 24 projects from the team all during January to inspire you because everyone deserves a card on their birthday! 

SALE-A-BRATION

This is the card I made. I used the new Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Stamp Set & Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. I love that they come bundled together and you can get them for FREE with a $100 order from now until Feb 28, 2022. 

Get it now - https://www.stampinup.com/categories/sales-specials/sale-a-bration/level-2?demoid=2042902

This stamp set is great, it has both lined and solid stamps making it easy to use with or without coloring. Here I used sponge daubers to add color quickly to the images. Then with a little layering this card came together so quickly.⁠

I hope you are inspired by this card and create your own Birthday project for the challenge this month.
