Welcome to the Whimsy Stamps and WOW Collaborative Blog Hop :)

Welcome :)

Today I am sharing my card showcasing these cuties from the Whimsy Stamps Adopt Don't Shop Stamp Set. I was so inspired by the digital papers on Whimsy's Website. The bricks and the wood were both printed from my home color laser printer. What fun it was to be able to create with this paper just minutes after purchasing it. This will be great in the future when I am in a pinch :) Read down for all of the details and information about this very special collaboration. PRIZE INFO ahead.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTINE!.....OMG I Need a Birthday Card! 5 Minute DIY Cards!

Hello and Welcome,

I am so happy to be a part of Justine Hovey's April Collaboration month. Today is very special because it is Justine's Birthday and we are celebrating by sharing 5 quick and fun birthday cards that can be created in 5 minutes or less. I am sharing my 5 Secret Weapons to create such cards and I hope you join me over on my YouTube channel to check them out by clicking the image below....

..... and Justine's accompanying video here, and......

......here are the images of the cards and a shopping list below them if you need some help finding the supplies I used.

Secret Weapon #1 -Doodle Bug Designs Doodle Pops

These are wonderful dimensional sticker sets that are perfect or a card front. They are available in many different themes and sell at a great price point $1.50. A great starter for any quick card.

Secret Weapon #2 - Patterned Paper

We all have stashes of paper. This is a great way to put them to good use :)

Lawn Fawn Spring Fling 6 x 6 paper pack, Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday to You scripty die

Secret Weapon #3 - Wplus 9 Happy Wishes Stamp Set

I love to take this stamps set and create a floral scene with it. Such a quick and fun card that can be personalized by making the flowers the favorite colors of the recipient.

Secret Weapon #4 - Lawn Fawn Yearly Stamp Sets

Not like the last stamp set at all. These are adorable and affordable at $3.99. Lawn Fawn puts them out every year, in a different theme, to celebrate the companies birthday. This years theme is this adorable Taco.

......and last but definitely not least

Secret Weapon #5 - Happy Birthday Thinlit Dies from Stampin Up

This die really makes it easy. Especially if you die cut it ahead of time in a myriad of papers so you have them on hand to just stick on the front of a card base.
