For my cards today, I created two clean and simple cards using the Cupcake Bouquet set for the first card. My second card features the So Berry Sweet set. Read on for the details!

This sweet birthday card featuring the Cupcake Bouquet set was super fun to color with my Copic markers. First I stamped the image and sentiment with black Copic safe ink. After I finished coloring, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I added foam tape to the back of the die cuts and adhered them to an A2 card base. For a bit of bling, I added a few iridescent gems around the cupcake.

My next card uses the adorable So Berry Sweet set.

Again, I stamped the image with Copic safe ink and colored the image with my Copic markers. I chose not to use the coordinating dies and added a red mat layer slightly larger than the image I trimmed to 3" x 4-¼".

I added some detail to my A2 card base by using my score board to add lines around the edges. Then I added foam tape to the colored panel to pop it up on the card. Next I added a few details with a white gel pen to the berries and the sentiment. I finished up with some pretty bling from the Crystal Ball Dewdrop Baubles embellishment mix.
