Birthday Cupcake


 

FS963 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper Gail, is better known around here as gail3. Here is my INSPIRATION,

I changed the cupcake image and used designer papers rather than just colored card stock.

I also used a great die cut that makes this fun fold from Creek Bank Creations.

Once the image was colored, I layered it and added a few scattered stars.

I was inspired by the 3 pots and the wood floor. For my card, I added a wood designer paper base then die cut the pieces from a couple of Spellbinders die cut sets. Once the pieces were cut I layered them and added some color to a few of the leaves with a dauber.

The card was finished with a few scattered sequins and the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

Valentine With a Fun Fold

 

IC1023 - Kuyike & Pinterest - INAPIRATION

I loved the all over hearts and used that for my inspiration. I grabbed this all over heart paper for the base then added the die cut hearts embossing the white layer and added a few dimensionals.

Next, I die cut the sentiment layer stamping a Valentine sentiment and then finished the card with a few candy dots.

For the inside:


I created a W fold for the inside and brought the hearts paper to one of the W panels added a white layer for a sentiment and a couple of additional die cuts to decorate the W layers. The W layer was layered on a polka dot paper to bring more interest to the inside of the card.

The W Fold is a 1 3/4″ x 11″ and it is scored at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″.

As a Princess...


WT1061 - Royal / Royality

For my card, I pulled out a very old set from Stampin Up. I am not sure I have ever used all of these stamps until this card. I hand wrote the words between each stamp and stamped the images along the way. Once each was used, I colored the images with copics and layered on the designer paper.

Mr & Mrs

 

F4A802 - Romance

USEIT2025 - Pink Pearls from my tote

This challenge came at the perfect time. A sweet friend is getting married next Saturday and I needed to get on the ball and get this made.

I cut the base layers adding a really pretty pink rose paper for the base layer.

Next, I stamped and cut the Heartfelt Flowers adding some pink to the edges, shaped them then layered them using hot glue.

Once the flowers were created and the leaves were cut and colored, I layered them intertwining the pink pearls from my tote.

I then die cut the gold rings adding a green stone (the bride's engagement ring is a green stone). The card was finished with the die cut Mr & Mrs from Creek Bank Creations and popped up on dimensionals and some stickles to the Roses.
