Woohoo! It's great to see how popular the January and February Collections have been. Thanks as always for your support. Tonight is the start of the Countdown to our March Collection. We'll have four days of Sneak Peeks to give you a preview of and get you excited for the March Collection.
The theme for March is Birthday - a popular one!
There are four fantastic sets that are part of this collection and it's been a difficult decision to decide which one to share first so I asked my youngest daughter for her thoughts and she wanted me to share Birthday Girlfriend. Our Girlfriends stamp set has been super popular as were the Spooky Girlfriend and Festive Girfriend from the Holiday Catalog.
Birthday Girlfriend includes 4 stamps. A matching die is available.
This first card was designed by Marisa A. There is so much to love here. I love how she combined stamps from the Birthday Icons and Girlfriends stamp sets. Don't you love how easy it is to mix & match A Muse Studio stamps?!
For this next card, I used the heart balloon stamp that is included with the set to create a sweet and subtle background. I used Blush ink so it's very pale and doesn't detract from the image. Can you see it? You can see how beautifully the die works with this set. You're going to want it. Trust me!
Paper piecing is a fun and easy technique! The girl's dress reminds me of the sweet dresses that my mom made for my girls when they were little. I love how Marisa incorporated the Landscape dies with this card. It adds so much dimension and creates visual interest!
This last tag shows that you don't have to use the whole girlfriend image. I like to use just part of her on a tag or a circle. The background on this card was created using the Snowy Day Background stamp set in Watermelon and Blush. I LOVE this stamp and consider it a must-have in my collection! You should add it to your next order if you don't have it. You won't regret it! The sentiment (celebrate) is from our Birthday Balloons stamp set. So fun!
I hope you've enjoyed today's sneak peeks of Birthday Girlfriend! I'll be back tomorrow with more sneaks and a GIVEAWAY!! Woohoo!

Some of the people on your design team are real good at coloring! no wonder you've given up on offering any other kind of stamps.

I think "big" girls and "little" girls would enjoy the Birthday Girl set. Looking forward to the March release.

Such a super stamp - and fabulous cards! I always enjoy seeing different crafters' take on the same image. Wonderful job!

Would you mind sharing the colors you used on the skin tone and hair on these cards?
