353- Cupcake Birthday Card

As soon as I saw this mojo monday layout (MOJO127) I knew that I wanted to use a cupcake in a bright card. The washington apple DSP was perfect for the colour palette and I love the finished card. It is bright, cheerful and happy

This is the scallop trim border punch that is available for sale-a-bration. For every $65 order you can get a free item from the sale-a-bration catalogue- how fantastic is that?! I don't have the scallop trim corner punch yet so I tried to do corners without it- I still think it looks nice but look forward to ordering the corner punch.

I cut out the top of the cupcake and popped it up for more dimension to the card. I also added glitter to it for the sprinkles.

I sponged bashful blue on the whisper white cardstock to soften the area around the cupcake.

331- Balloon Card

This was a challenging colour combo for me (Splitcoast colour challenge CC252) . I don't tend to combine greens when I'm stamping so this was quite difficult. I also didn't realize how green the Bermuda Bay was. I decided to just use the Handsome Hunter to stamp the balloons and colour one of them because I didn't want the card to be too dark. In the end the card is very nice- perfect for a little boys birthday. I really never used the balloon stamp from this set and I like how it bunches together.

Recipe:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes

Paper: Bermuda Bay, Certainly Celery, Delicate Dots DSP

Ink: Handsome Hunter, Bermuda Bay, Certainly celery

Accessories: Ticket corner punch, certainly celery saleabration ribbon, double rectangle punch

281- Sweet Cupcake Birthday

I made this card for the MojoMaria layout challenge. This is an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card that I made for a coworker- we need to make big cards so all of my coworkers can sign it.

Whenever I have to make a birthday card it is really hard for me to not use my Crazy for Cupcakes- I just adore the set! This is also my favorite DSP of all time- I was so upset when Stampin' Up! retired it.

Paper: Regal rose, chocolate chip, Sweet Always DSP, whisper white

Ink: Chocolate chip, regal rose, rose red, pumpkin pie

Accessories: Dazzling diamonds, corner rounder, 5/8" regal rose grosgrain ribbon, 5/8" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch

Birthday Shaker

This is a card that I made for Katrina's birthday- Happy Birthday!

I haven't had a shaker in months and thought this would be a great time to make one. I also wanted to use my new in colours and circle scissors plus.

To make a shaker I make the card base and the window separately. I cut the circles using the circle scissors plus and glued the acetate to the back. To make the card base I adhered the white cardstock with the image and put pieces of dimensionals all along the rim of the image. You have to make sure there are no spaces in between the pieces so nothing in the shaker will leak out. I use a teaspoon to put the chunky sprinkles and beads into the centre and then put the window on top. Make sure to run your finger along the entire circle before shaking so that the window is sealed.

Recipe:

Stamps: Crazy for cupcakes, party hearty, cupcake wheel

Paper: Rich razzleberry, melon mambo, bermuda bay, whisper white

Ink: Rich razzleberry, melon mambo, bermuda bay, soft suede, dusty durango, crushed curry, whisper white

Accessories: Circle scissors plus, white gel pen, dazzling diamonds, scallop edge punch, acetate, pretties kit, crystal effects, markers, chunky sprinkles, silver bead duo

258- Cupcake Tri Shutter Card

The tri shutter card was demonstrated by Mary Jo at last weeks megameeting. It was also a technique challenge (TLC 221) on Splitcoast a few weeks ago. Until I saw the demonstration I was a bit overwhelmed but trust me this was easy. And such a fantastic card- who wouldn't be impressed receiving a card and opening it up and seeing this!

You need to use 12"x12" paper for this project. You cut the paper to 5"x12". You then score it at 2", 4", 8" and 10". You put the paper lengthwise in your paper cutter and cut between the two outer score lines at 1.5" from the top and bottom. You fold the top and bottom pieces in the same direction going first back, the forward, then back. Do the reverse with the middle piece. Then decorate all the different sections- so much fun!

Recipe:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Cupcake Wheel, Party Hearty

Paper: Whisper white, Sweet Always DSP, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red

Accessories: 5 petal punch, white embossing, circle fire rhinestone brads, build a brad, chocolate chip ribbon, chunky essentials glitter, 1/2" 3/4" 1" circle punches, brad punch

243- Cupcake Pop-Up

This is a card that I made for a birthday card swap with my customers. I always like to cards that have a bit of a twist to them to give my customers new ideas. For this one I wanted to do a pop-up and in the end I really enjoy the finished product. I have to say I have rarely used Lovely Lilac and I'm not sure why- it is such a pretty purple and I will definitely be using it again.

As for the ribbon this was a bit of a departure for me- I tend to always make a bow. But I really do like the knot- I think it is a nice change

Recipe:

Stamps: Crazy for cupcakes

Paper: Lovely lilac, basic black, whisper white

Ink: Basic black, lovely lilac, regal rose, rose red, tempting turquoise, brilliant blue, pumpkin pie, yo-yo yellow
