Greetings. Welcome to my blog. Here is a humorous birthday card with bees and a margarita glass. This is for those who enjoy a little sass and snarky humor. I incorporated stamping onto vellum plus coloring on vellum with alcohol markers. The featured Unity Stamp Company stamp and sentiment are from June 2026 Uniquely Unity stamps called Honey, I'm Buzzed. Also, this is sold individually as one-time purchase stamps. To create this card, I used rubber stamping onto vellum, alcohol marker coloring and die-cutting. I included the project steps and supplies below.

Sentiment: Hope your birthday is buzz-worthy.
