I used a birthday stamp from Happiest Birthday Wishes, it's a hostess stamp set. I'm sure we all have plenty of birthday stamps to choose from! Or host a stamping workshop to earn your own Happiest Birthday Wishes! :) I stamped in Soft Suede using an ink pad, $5.95. Or you can use the Soft Suede marker for $3.50 if you prefer. It's great when the ink matches the cardstock!
Who doesn't need a stash of birthday cards! If you haven't already signed up for the Jan, Feb, and/or March Samplers, you can still do so! Let me know which months you want and how many of each month. Some are getting duplicates so they can do layouts AND cards. :) Sign up for the whole quarter and get a punch on your punch card.
Thanks for the tremendous amount on interest in these Monthly Samplers! I am beyond blown away by the response!

However, I did use my set of 2010-2012 In-Color Markers to ink the stamps, that's how some are multi-colored. If you don't want to purchase ink pads, markers are a great alternative for inking stamps! The In-Color set of 5 markers had 2 of the colors that coordinate with the Enchantment DSP, Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz. I also used my Crumb Cake ink for one of the flowers, and I like that look too. You could almost stamp them all in a light brown, and it would look good...if you aren't up for coloring with markers.
If you would like to make these exact same cards with your February Sampler, you would need:
