Birthday Wishes

Hello friends,

Welcome back. March is a busy Birthday month around this house so here is my latest card.  This one was made for a dear friend and she has already received it so now it is safe to share with all of you.

For this card I used the Cupcake Pop-Up along with some other great dies from Karen Burniston.

To see how to assemble this die set just click here.  Karen always does a great job with her instructions that show you step by step how to make a great card.

I have linked all products that I used below so, don't be shy, click away.

Until next time-

Happy Crafting,

Cupcake? Yes Please!

Hello everyone,

Today is the Paper Pros challenge and the theme is Kids or Back to School.  I'm on the road on a month long trip at the moment but thought, although it could be a stretch, that kids love cupcakes and birthdays so here we go.  Cupcake? Yes please!!

This card uses the Triple Flip minus two for a single flip that has a punch.

I made the triple flip the same as always but on a much taller base with the pull tab in the center.

I decorated the front with the Crosshatch Rectangle and another one on the inside and then stamped my greeting.  The cupcakes and flourish on the inside are from Karen Burniston's Cupcake Pop Up.

Hope you have enjoyed!!

Just For Fun Friday

Hi my crafty friends,

I have lots of birthdays coming up so thought I should get started on my card making so I don't miss any of them.

How about a lovely cupcake?  Perhaps several of them?   I used Karen Burniston's  Evergreen Pivot Panel for this card but instead of adding trees, I added cupcakes.  I made the card according to directions until it came time for the trees.  You can see Karen's instruction video here.  

The front is simple with a couple of Crosshatch Circles and then, of course, two yummy cupcakes.

A simple Happy Birthday along with a few cupcakes and it's ready to be mailed.

Until next time,

Seeing Spots

Welcome back my friends,

Today is the Paper Pros Challenge, Seeing Spots.  We are a group of casual, just for fun, crafters that do challenge once a month when time allows.  This month I made a card for friend and have already given it to her so I'm not letting out any secrets.  Since the cupcake wrappers have spots on them, it's perfect for this challenge.

I used the Cupcake Pop-Up die from the Karen Burniston and three arms from the Upsy Daisy Pop-Up.  All the icing is cut from glitter paper and I made those cute cherries by coloring some Pearl Embellishments with a Copic Marker, any alcohol marker will work.  Everything, except the paper from my stash is linked below so you can shop with a simple click of the mouse.
My friend loved her card.

Stay Crafty,

Happy Birthday America

 Hope all of you are having a fabulous 4th of July holiday.  I made this card to celebrate the season.  I am a very patriotic American - always enjoying a way to use red, white & blue.

As you know, I like to find different ways to use my dies and came up with this fun way to make the stripes on the flag using Karen Burniston's new Nature Edges die.  I really like that it is stitched on each side of the cutting blade so that no matter which piece you use it is stitched.  Happy Birthday is from Karen's Word Set 2 and all the stars on this card are from the Charm Accordion.

For the inside, I used the Flower Pot Pop-up die set.  Instead of flowers, I added more stars, all double sided with a thin wire in between, and the cute flourish from the Cupcake Pop-up.  USA was stamped on labels from the
Katherine Label Pop-up.

All total, 6 die sets were used here and it is amazing how they all work together to give a

perfect result.

Enjoy your holiday,

S@ndy
