Welcome back to another edition of Making the Cut, my monthly die-cutting series on the Simon Says Stamp YouTube channel! This month I’m sharing a sweet storybook-inspired birthday card featuring adorable critters die cut from ivory cardstock and colored with OLO Markers. I love how coloring directly on ivory cardstock creates a softer, more hand-illustrated appearance than traditional white cardstock. The warm tones, gentle shading, and layered die-cut details combine to create a charming birthday design that feels straight out of the pages of a favorite children’s book.
