Birthdays are Popping Up Everywhere

Hello everyone. I don't know about you, but it seems that birthdays are just coming at me one after another since Christmas. I can barely keep up. Here's a simple little card that I made for my 9 year old niece. Like many little girls her age, her favorite color is pink. I chose Pretty in Pink and Mambo Melon to give it just the right amount of pink. :-) To add a little sparkle to this cupcake, I used a two way glue pen and added chocolate chip glitter and popped it up on a dimensional. The little gems in the corners are actually heart shaped. I'm sure my niec will love it.

For all you that are bow-tying challened, and you know who you are, I'll have a little tip in my next post on how to get the perfect bow look seen on this card. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
The Recipe:
Stamps: Out of the Box, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: White, Pretty in Pink, Mambo Melon
Ink: Black Staz On
Accessories: Mambo melon polka dot ribbon, CB embossing folder, dimensional, SU markers, heart-shaped gems, eyelet border punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Very cute! I love that popping up cupcake.

For My Friend

Hello everyone! Well, it's Super Bowl Sunday and I'm geared up to watch the big game tonight. First off, I wanted to get this card posted. It is a very special card I made for my next door neighbor, who recently lost her mother. I lost my mom in October and when my siblings and I were going through her things, I came across a calendar she used every day. It's a calendar of daily reflections about angels. The sentiment on the front of the card was the reflection for the day my neighbor's mother passed away. I computer generated the sentiment and created the card from there. The sentiment and the layer behind it were die cut using my nesties.


The recipe:
Cardstock: Blush blossom, whisper white, silver
Ink: Basic gray, blush blossom
Accessories: Silver organza ribbon, elegant bouquet embossing folder, MS butterfly punch, pearls, dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by!

It’s a beautiful card, but the thoughts behind it are even more beautiful! I love how you incorporated the little calendar quote from your mom’s calendar…that will mean a lot to your neighbor. Fantastic card!

My First Post!

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog. If you only knew what it took to get this up and running! Whew! It's been like trying to learn a foreign language. I guess for me it is. Computers and I don't really get along. I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about. :-) Fortunately there were wonderful people at Stampin' Addicts that helped me through all the computer lingo. I've still got so much to learn, but at least I've got the basics covered and can start having fun posting. That's what it's really all about. I will try and keep my blog mostly Stampin' Up, but I can't live without my CB embossing folders and Spellbinder dies, so you will see those being used.
I thought it only right that my first post should include a card I made for my sweet husband for Valentine's Day. He's the love of my life and my biggest supporter. He's always got my back and I'm so lucky to be married to him!
When I first saw the Like-O-Meter stamp in the Occasions mini catalog, it just cracked me up. I knew I had to have it and make my hubby's card with it. There's lots of new Stampin' Up goodies used on this card. I had so much fun playing and getting it designed. I tried not to make it too fussy in order to keep it more masculine.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Like-O-Meter, I (Heart) Hearts
Cardstock: Soft suede, real red, very vanilla, basic black.
Inks: real red, black staz on, soft suede
Accessories: Soft suede polka dot ribbon, pinking heart border punch, small heart punch, heart to heart punch, my way punch, horizontal slot punch, CB heart embossing folder, clear block, dimensionals, crystal effects, black glitter, heart brad.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
