Time to Celebrate!

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Birthday Palooza 

With today's theme in mind I decided to create this fun birthday card:

I love the recently released Cute Cupcake Tag Die from MCT!!  I love how I created the lovely glittery frosting for the cupcake during the release, that I just had to create another one, this time for a card!!

I used the lovely Scalloped Stitched Square Dies for my layers!  I absolutely LOVE this die set, I used it often!!

The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the Hello Gorgeous stamp set and the 'Time to celebrate!' sentiment is from the Time to Celebrate! stamp set!!

Yummy!!

Celebrate You

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Just Cards

As I mentioned earlier this month, I absolutely LOVE the new Celebration Tags stamp and die set!  I just had to use it again to make another cute birthday card!! (I am really lacking on birthday cards right now, so this set totally came at the right time!!)

I created some cute layers using pattern paper.  I then used the die tag layers from the Celebration Tags stamp and die set, die cutting the largest layer from kraft paper and then one layer from white cardstock.  I die cut the cupcake wrapper from the white later to create a shaker window.  Thought it would be fun to make the base of the cupcake a shaker!!  Something I've never done before!!

I embossed my cupcake frosting with a swirly embossing folder!  I love the look!!

I stamped the 'Let's Celebrate You.' sentiment on the die cut banner!

Such a cute card!!  I am having so much fun with this new set!!

MCT Make It In Minutes

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Make It In Minutes

My kids are always really good at volunteering to bring in treats for class parties!!

My daughter wanted to bring in cupcakes for her Valentine's Day Party.

We thought it would be fun to quickly dress each one up; here's a look at 3 of them:

We die cut a bunch of labels from black cardsotck using the die from the Chalkboard Valentines stamp/die set! I used a white gel pen to make the stitching stand out more along the edge!!

I then stamped the 'Be My Valentine!' sentiment and tiny heart on each label from the Love Is In the Air stamp set with VersaMark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder!  Used my white chalk, to give it the chalkboard feel!! (I haven't done this in a long time!!)

I added some Nuvo drops to each label to add a little color!

I then cut some paper straws in half that I had in my stash to adhere each label to and stuck them in the cupcakes!!

They add the perfect little touch!!!  And didn't take long to make at all!! Which is the best part!!

Have a lovely day!

Happy Birthday....with a cherry on top! (Just Desserts)

Team B's first challenge for round two with Creative Inspiration Paints is today! I'm so excited to be able to still be a part of the team.

Check out the CI blog to see all the great projects for this week!

Along with our CI Paint challenge, I also challenged myself to create the main image using my cricut. My poor "baby" hasn't had as much attention as it deserves. When I make cards, I usually always grab my stamps or digital images. I rarely ever use my cricut to make cards. I mainly use it for my layouts, which I haven't had much time to make as I have been working so much this summer. Usually when I am off in fall and winter is when I make all my layouts.

I just recently got Home Decor and Sweet Treat carts, as I found them to be very helpful to use for this card.

For my "cupcake" card, I used Home Decor. I am so happy with how the cupcake turned out. I also wanted to use all scraps if possible, as that pile has stacked up a lot!

I just love how the cherry turned out!! I put a bunch of diamond glaze on the cherry to give it a glossy and raised look. While the glaze was still wet, I also used my water brush to but some garnet paint in the glaze! It looks so real, I could eat it!! I love cherries!!

First I cut the image out at 3". I took it out of my cricut and then first painted the top, bottom and cherry with CI Paints. I ued Garnet, Tutu Pink and Autumn Wheat. Then I took off the pieces and assembled the cut.
