Cupcake Wishes

a Cut at Home Design Team Project 

On today's video I'll be sharing three cards, two I made ahead of time and the third we'll do start to finish.  I'm using a variety of Marianne Designs dies along with products from Penny Black, Tim Holtz and Spellbinders.

All three of my cards have this great yummy cupcake theme going on with sentiments from the new Tim Holtz Crazy talk and Penny Black's Eloquence stamp sets.

I also incorporated this fabulous embellished Happy Birthday die cut from Tattered Lace for the inside of one of my trio of cards.

So I hope I've tempted you a bit to come join me on the video and we'll have fun creating together.

BoBunny Trail Mix Prize from Swirlydoos

I got my Prize!!!  Thank you Swirlydoos!  I couldn't wait to make something and since my brother's birthday is just around the corner I thought I'd make a card for him.  These papers are perfect for any masculine project.  The colors are rich and vibrant and there are so many ways you can use them.

Here's what I made

have a purrfect day

Kitty is from Penny's Black 'purrfect day' clear stamp collection
What's a kitty without bling?  I added Waterfall Stickles to the collar
I used the Copic Collection C for the kitty, it's the only copics I own :-( 

I saw a card where they had cut the primary mat and slid another under the slits.
I really like this look.

Printed papers are the 6x6 Bo Bunny Ad Lib Collection

Sentiment is a My Sentiments Exactly Rub on

This gorgeous ribbon was a close out, 90% off!, from my LSS
79 cents for 10 yards of wire rimmed ribbon,
what a bargain!!!

Can't Turn Back the Clock

My other half's birthday is Monday and I wanted a special card for him.

I took inspiration from Smitha Katti's card in the May/June 2012 Paper Crafts Magazine.  

(Check out her site, Smiling Colors.)

I just loved her card (Love You Dad Card, page 80),

 it had a Graphic 45 piece of paper on it with men's shoes from The Gentlemen collection.

So cool!  But I hunted and didn't have that paper but did have this one, also Graphic 45,

that had the shirt, tie,cuffs and collar (from the Romantique collection). 

Since my guy wore a suit and tie daily to work his whole career I thought this was a perfect fit!  

 The top strip, and the envelope in the first picture, are from a paper stack
that I got years ago at Costco.  If anyone knows who made this paper would
you leave a comment?  I just love it!

I added a brad and a strip of 7 Gypsies clock face paper
from the 6x6 Paddington stack
(which I just saw at Tuesday Morning for $1.99 for the pad can you believe that!!!)

 I found the inside sentiment online and printed it out on my computer.
Inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink

 I finished the card with 3 small buttons
and a Happy Birthday (Hero Arts) stamp done with
Perfect Pearls in Bronze

Supplies I used:

Graphic 45 - Le Romantique Collection

7 Gypsies - Paddington Collection

Perfect Pearls

Hero Arts - All Occasion Messages

50 is Wonderful!

I made this card for my Niece's 5oth birthday, how she can be 50 is beyond me, seems like I just had that  birthday!  This is from the Lady Couture collection from DCWV.
The paper was a gift from a friend and I just love it!!!

I used my handy-dandy new stamp filing system to hunt for the
'wonderful' stamp (Stampin UP).
The numbers are Graphic 45 and the 'is' are black glitter sticker numbers.
The lady in the bottom is also Graphic 45 - papers assorted

I used a little glossy accents on her hat after I fussy cut her and
popped her up for dimension

 

This is a number 10 size card, I often wonder why I don't make more of these
I just love the look of them.
I have several other 'ladies' from this collection that
I've made into cards and will post them soon.

Thanks for stopping by to look, comments are greatly appreciated :-)

Charlie's Wishes

This is a birthday card for my son-in-law.

I thought he'd like Charlie and the Graphic 45 Curtain Call papers.

The card is a #10 size and the envelope is actually

one I had in a pack of Christmas envelopes.

I covered the front cinnamon sticks with the curtain call

ticket and it really goes well with the card, I distressed

the envelope just a little with Vintage Photo.

I've seen so many cards lately where the inside is finished to match the front.

I really like this idea, before it just never seemed like my card were done.

I think I'll be doing a lot more of the inside stuff going forward.
