Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Be sure to check out this super fresh inspiration from the latest CZ Design released today! This release includes the stamp set Birthday Palooza, along with a coordinating die, and an alphabet die set called All Caps. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

Hey everyone! Cathy Z here and I’m so happy to be sharing my newest stamp set with you today, Birthday Palooza! Since I started making cards last spring, I’ve made a ton of all occasion cards and then whenever I have a birthday coming up where I need to make a card, I realized I had virtually no birthday themes. So I decided to design one!

I love this simple set, with its overlapping letters and matching dies. I wanted to create a bright, happy birthday card, but still keep it fairly minimal. And my new favorite thing? Gray fog cardstock! I’ve been on a bit of a kick lately and it’s all about the gray fog card bases.

I’ve got a tutorial showing you how I made the card. I’m still learning on the whole Copic marker blending thing, but hey, that’s what craft time is for, am I right ladies?
