April 2023 BuJo Setups

I took so long to decide on what I wanted for my April set up and I saw the trailer for The Super Marios Bros Movie and the rest is history. I had these stamps from Sassy Club and they were perfect!

Be sure to come back for each week’s setup, which I’ll update here.

Subtle Eclipse | Honey Bee Stamps

I love when sentiment stamps come with coordinating dies — it makes things so easy to add them to a card but have you ever used it for a eclipse card? I used it on this card for a pop of dimension along with supporting sentiments!

Texture Piercing Dies | Waffle Flower

Piercing dies are really fun — they pierce a pattern into your cardstock without fulling cutting anything out leaving for a subtle background. I chose to emphasize the pattern by coloring in the pierced areas and then used a gold pen to outline it for emphasis.

Large Die Sentiments | Pretty Pink Posh

I wanted to use this coordinating die in a different way. Sure, you can use it with the coordinating stamp but it was also perfect to use as a standalone. It’s such a bold sentiment for a fun birthday card and you don’t have to add too much to it for the perfect little scene.

White Highlights | Honey Bee Stamps

A lot of people color leaving white space for a highlight, which always levels up an image. I struggle leaving white because it’s a bit hard to fade out with copic markers, however, ink blending to white is a whole lot easier and I did that here. It allows the color to stick to the edges but you go in with a light hand with a fade to white.
