BBTB2 ... Happy Birthday Mr. Mustache

Good morning, Today I'm playing along with Bitten by the Bug2 (For The Men in our Lives) and Seize the Birthday (Anything Goes):

The cupcake is from Close to my Heart (Artiste) and the mustache is from Close to my Heart (Artistry).  Images were cut at 2.895 x 3.754.  Both can be found in Cricut Access.  I did add chocolate chips to the cupcake by using a hole puncher.  The gold card stock is so glossy, I can see myself at the bottom of the card.  Ha!

Supplies:

Paper: All from Recollections;

Stamp: Birthday Messages (Simon Says Stamp);

Ink: Black (Hero Arts);

Accessories: Cricut Explore Air 2

A Little Birthday Wish

Happy Friday,

 

I had some free time last night, so I thought I'd play along over at Seize the Birthday Challenge. 

They have a beautiful ocean color combo that I couldn't resist:

 

 

                                                                                                       

                                                            (Blue, Green and or Aqua)
                                                       Neutrals are always welcome too!

 

 

 

 

I couldn't resist CASE'ing this gorgeous card from the talented Barbara Anders.  This is my favorite flower stamp (I can see why it's constantly out of stock!).  I'm planning to make a bunch of cards with this stamp set, insert them in clear greeting card boxes and give them out to my friends for Christmas.

PPA283 & Seize the Birthday...Sending Birthday Wishes

Hi,

 

Just popping in to share the card I made for this week's Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge and Seize the Birthday- Clean and Simple:



 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my card:

 





 

I used one of my all-time favorite floral stamps from SU! called Stippled Blossoms.  For some reason, my little flower came out a bit darker than the big flower.  I didn't notice it until I arranged the flowers on my card. 

 

Many thanks for visiting my blog today,

My card:

 

 

I purchased the Mossy Meadow ink and card stock a couple of months ago, so happy I was able to finally use them!  This is not my original idea.  I was inspired by a greeting card I saw at a store.

PP209....Cake Pop Birthday

Happy Sunday,

I have a fun card I put together for this week's The Papers Players.  This week is a Clean-and-Simple Child's Birthday theme challenge. 

 

 

My card:

 

 

I started out with Whisper White card base.  I created a yummy-looking cake pop.  I used 1 3/8" circle  punch to make the cake circle.  I then created the frosting with the negative part of the pink glittery card stock using the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Halloween punch.   I adhered a lollipop stick and attached a bow using pink/white Baker's Twine.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping The Sky's the Limit, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.

PPA215... Happy Birthday to You!

Hey Everyone,

Today, I have a quick card using this week's color challenge over at Pal Paper Arts.  This week's colors are Strawberry Slush, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black - such a gorgeous combo, don't you agree?

 

I began with a Whisper White card base, and the layers are Basic Black card stock and patterned paper from MS Carnival Photo Mat Pad.  Using a rectangular spellbinder, the middle of the patterned paper was cut out.  The flower and sentiment were then adhered to the white case base.  I picked the beautiful two-step SU! Stippled Blossoms as my focal image.  I stamped the solid flower in Strawberry Slush ink and used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement to overstamp the outline flower in the same ink color.  I did the same for the leaves, but in Pear Pizzazz ink.  The sentiment is from IBS Small Fancy Labels 18, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  A collection of pearls and sequins added the perfect amount of glam.
