Make a wish... it's your birthday!

Hi there!

I don't own a variety of stamps suitable for making cards for children. I prefer spending my card making funds on pretty flower stamps 😊. Add to this the fact that cute cards doesn't come easy and naturally to me, it just makes sense to rely on digital stamps and my Silhouette cameo to help me out when I want to make these cards!

Here's an example :








I used :


  • Free digital stamp from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine ( sorry I don't have the direct link anymore)
  • Altenew ink and stencil
  • Zig markers
  • Foam tape for dimension
  • My own digi sentiment (shared below)
  • Laser printer & Silhouette cameo
  • Watercolor paper from Bôzart (for the little elephant and dragonfly) 
  • Yellow card base

Thanks for visiting me today!

I'm in the same boat when it comes to children's cards - and a lot of other themes for that matter! Digital images always save the day when I need them! This is absolutely adorable. The sweet elephant and the colorful polka dots are a great combination!

This little elephant is so adorable, Hannelie! I love how he's looking at the dragonfly and holding a sweet flower and the polka dots add even more fun! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!

It may not come naturally, but it sure is cute! That's how I got started with digital stamps, too. Now I'm hooked on both digital and cute! Still love coloring pretty flowers, though, too.
