Crazy for Cupcakes!

I love Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade together, I added So Saffron with them.

• The card base is Whisper White 
• I layered So Saffron on top of Calypso Coral, near the bottom in Poppy Parade I stamp the phrase from Create a Cupcake. Next, approximately 3/4" from the bottom I punched two holes, threaded ribbon down from the top, and back up from the back, then attached this to the card base.
• I stamped the stack of cupcakes from Crazy for Cupcakes in Stazon onto Whisper White. I colored the image with Ink and a Blender pen, using So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, and Sahara Sand. I layered it and added it to the card front.

Have a wonderful day!

Six days left in the Summer Mini!

Crazy for Cup Cakes plus the Hostess Set from the Summer Mini Swirls & Curls Verses

• The card base is Pear Pizazz with a front of Concord Crush, then Daffodil Delight, then Whisper White.
• On the Whisper White layer I stamped the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes with Stazon.
• On Watercolor Paper I stamped just the balloon part six times with Stazon. and then colored them Pear Pizazz, Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Pacific Point. I cut each balloon out and started layering them on the previously stamped balloons, popping the center one up with Dimensionals.
• I stamped the happy birthday from Swirls and Curls Verses in Stazon on a strip of Whisper White that I ribbon cut the ends of. I colored the two balloons with a Blender Pen and ink. I then layered it on Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and then Concord Crush.
• Finally I added the layered phrase onto the front of my card.

SO the Summer Mini is coming to an end and if there is any sets that you are interested in call or email me with your order before we say good bye to them :).

Greeting Card Kids-birthday

This is my favorite of the the cards I made with Greeting Card Kids!

• Card base is Rich Razzleberry with a layer of Pacific Point then a layer of Naturals DSP.
• I stamped the girl on watercolor paper and colored her with markers and an Aqua painter. I cut her out and while cutting cut off the valentine that was in her hand.
• I stamped the balloon from Crazy for Cupcakes 3 times on watercolor paper colored one Rich Razzleberry, one Pacific Point and one Melon Mambo, and cut them out. I stamped the balloon again three times on the background DSP using my stamp-a-ma-jig to join them together.
• I attached the girl so that her hand was holding the balloons, I attached the watercolored balloons popping up two of them with dimensionals.
• I stamped Birthday Wishes from the level 3 Hostess set Occasional Quotes onto the DSP in Rich Razzleberry.

So this is my favorite of the four Greeting Card Kids that I have done, which one is yours? Be sure to check out my retired sale in the left side bar.

Crazy for Cupcakes

This card uses both the Scallop Trim Corner and Scallop Trim Edge Punch(remember this month is the last month you will be able to get the scallop trim edge punch free with your order of $50). The card base is Whisper White, I cut off 1/2" of the front and used the Scallop Trim Edge punch, I also used the same punch on a strip of Pretty in Pink and taped it behind the front. On the inside back I put a 1" strip of designer paper from the Sweet Pea Collection.

I stamped the image on Whisper White and colored it with the Stamp and Write markers, I used Dazzling Diamond Glitter on the frosting and Crystal Effects on the cherries to make them shine. I punched opposite corners with the Scallop Trim Corner punch. I matted it on Pretty in Pink that I had used the same corner punch on opposite corners. The phrase is stamped in Pretty in Pink.

Crazy for Cupcakes

I tried out the new punches from the Occasions mini on this card. There is a steep learning curve combining the corner as well as the edge on the same piece, so I did them on separate pieces and like the looks. (here is a link to a tutorial on the punches. http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/01/a-guide-to-the-pinking-hearts-border-and-corner-punches-and-a-n-sketch-card.html or a link to a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQ6r3o5u_4&feature=player_embedded )
I stamped the image on Whisper White and colored it with the stampin up markers, I used Real Red, Pretty and Pink, Close to Cocoa, and Going Gray. I used Crystal Effects on the cherries to make them shine as well as raising them up a bit, it doesn't show in the photo,, but does in real life. I matted it on Basic Black that I used the Scallop Trim corner punch on. Layered it Whisper White that I used the same punch on. The base of this card is Real Red, I cut 1/4 inch off the bottom of the front and had the scallops down so that they lined up with the back piece. I used a piece of designer paper from Sending Love package I matted it on Basic Black and Whisper White, I used the scallop trim edge punch on one edge leaving the other straight.
