Summer just flew by so fast for us! My kids are back in school this week so now I have some time to catch up on some projects that didn’t get done over the summer.
Now that I have a little more free time I can get some cards done to add to my collection to have on hand when I need them. The best way to do that is to make a few at one time. You really don’t need a lot of supplies to make a fun birthday card. I used Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for the base of my cards which are 5 1/2″X 4 1/4″. I love the Classic Crest Solar White cardstock in 110lb I like how it can hold up to being a card base.
For this card I stamped this stack of cupcakes onto Classic Crest Solar White cardstock four times with Memento black ink. I stamped in Memento ink because I planned on coloring in my images with Alcohol Markers
After I stamped all of the images in I fussy cut all four of the images out. This image has a a matching die but sometimes I enjoy fussy cutting it is relaxing to do and watch some T.V. at the same time. I think fussy cutting was easy it was a very simple image to cut out.
After coloring the cupcake liners in with alcohol markers I wanted the frosting to be bright and full of color. So I ended up coloring them in with a sparkle pen to add some shine. The picture doesn’t show the glitter sparkle but in person it is very sparkly.
I adhered the cupcakes off the edge of the card base then trimmed them off and was able to use them on my second card. It looks like I had to color in more then four images but that is all I needed to color in by saving the extra from one card I could get my second card.
To finish both cards off I stamped “Happy Birthday” for one card and “Sweet” “Birthday Wishes” for the second card and just die cut them out with a banner die. I always love sequins so to give my card a finished look I just glued some sequins around the cards.
Hello all, today’s project was “tweaked” a bit from a Pinterest project I saw where you make a bag/pouch or purse using an envelope. I do have to apologize because I didn’t save the pin but browsing around I found something similar here. The tweaking part comes in when instead snipping off one of the envelope sides,…
What I love about the Pop Tones card stock is how each color has the power to stand on its own and the card stock lends itself to being able to withstand lots of techniques. But I’ve found it’s especially great for ink blending.So for this project, I thought I might try for a monotone…

Hello and welcome! Today we’re making some thank-you cards using origami patterned paper. Using a square of Royal Sundance Linen 80lb card stock in Gray, I used a Ranger Embossing Pen to write a script-style “thank you” sentiment. I created a “faux calligraphy” look by going through and making all the downstrokes thicker.Don’t forget to check…
