What a Nightmare!

I decided to make a card today! Well, it didn't turn out so well. I couldn't find the stamp set I wanted, the kids kept interrupting me and things just weren't going as planned. This is the card that I finally ended up with. I love this paper and the lovely little cupcake. I hope everyone is having a great week.

Tempting Cupcakes!

The challenge for The Cuttlebug Spot this week is Double Embossing. This card was made using the double embossing on the main panel and also on the side panel. These colors just struck me this week, not sure why. This card is so bright and cheerful, makes me want to have a party. LOL!



After having two birthdays on Friday, I guess the birthday spirit was riding high. I used the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set from SU and paper pieced the cupcake papers and the stand. The icing was made using Liquid Applique and the cherries were colored using my Prismacolor markers. I also added the pearl dew drops around the edges.

Pink Elephant Challenge #6 BUTTONS!

Yep, you heard right ~ BUTTONS! Buttons are always fun, we can use them on almost anything, they can be plain and they can be fancy.

The challenge at The Pink Elephant this week is to use buttons. I love buttons and so that made this challenge even more fun.

The base of the card was made using Pumpkin Pie and I layered that using some dp. The scallop is from the Cricut. I layered three kinds of ribbon and added the buttons, and yes the pretty bauble on the bow is actually a button that I found in a sewing kit from many years ago. I love this button, and the sticker is from K&Co.

Also, there is a lot of fun planned at The Pink Elephant coming up soon. Please watch for all the exciting games and giveaways coming up. I will also be posting some blog candy soon so remember to keep checking back for more updates.

Happy Birthday!

I made this card for the 2Sketches4You sketch. I am not sure if I really like it but wanted to put it on anyway. The paper is from Papertrey Ink, and the chipboard is Company K. THis is a fun girly birthday card. The tags were cut using the Cricut George Cartridge.

Masculine Birthday!

My husband and my oldest sons birthdays are on the 27th of this month and I need to make cards for them. I made this card for my husband.

This card was made using Papertrey Inks Cardstock that I received yesterday. I was so excited when I won a years supply of cardstock from Papertrey Ink on their Anniversary Giveaways, and when the UPS man came yesterday and left me a box full of paper I just knew that I had to use it today.

I love this color combo, and I also love this stamp set that I won from CPS. This stamp set is by Our Daily Bread. The DP on this card was from Basic Gray.

The sketch I used was from 2 Sketches 4 You. I rounded the corners of the card and layered Black cardstock and Kraft cardstock. I also cut out the top part of the lighthouse from white cardstock and sponged it using River Rock Ink from Su. The key I purchased from JoAnn for 40% off.

Cardtock: Black, White, Kraft

Sweetest Gift!

Well, I am going to a birthday party tonight and needed a birthday card. So I combined the Verve challenge and the Cuttlebug Challenge and came up with this card. I just love this dp. I love the colors and the large polka dots. The Cuttlebug challenge was to emboss acetate, so the tag is acetate embossed with the Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder and the words Happy Birthday were cut out along with one of the small gifts. I had these large colored pearls by K&Co and they matched perfectly.
