Cupcake Birthday Cards

 

 

A while ago I showed you the masculine card and now it's time for the girly cards. Of course with me being me, I forgot to take pictures before I packaged them for a friend. =) I cased someone and will add her link here when I find or remember it. If you see that it's yours, then please let me know so I can give appropriate credit.

Two Posts in Two Days! Thank You Card Set

 

 

Well look at me - two posts in two days! This post is quite heavy with pictures but I wanted to show you what you could do with just two stamps (a flourish and a sentiment) and a butterfly punch. I made this set of cards in under 30 minutes! It was so simple with SU's note cards. It's a time saver to stamp the flourish then without re-inking, stamp the envelope at the same time. Very simple and it can be done with any flourish and a sentiment! This also looks very nice with Everything Eleanor flourish by itself.

SU Whisper White notecards

Inks: 2012 In-colors

Stamps: Retired Best Friends Forever and a sentiment

Other: Butterfly Punch and Rhinestones

Seize the Birthday #14!

 

 

 

 

 

*Update 4/22/13: I was able to retake the photos and they came out much better!

 

It's been a very long time since I've posted but when I saw the Seize the Birthday #14 sketch, I just had to give it a try! I loved the part that looks like pleating so that's what I decided to do with my new dsp from SU. I dyed the flowers to match by using the ink from the ink pad and then spritzing them with water. I think it gives the card a little needed pop of color. I hope you like it!

 

I do have happy news that I finally found a lighting tent that I think will work for me and now just have to decide on the size!

 

All products are SU!

Stamps: Beautiful Birthday

Paper: Primrose Petals, Very Vanilla cs, Print Poetry dsp, Paper Doilies

Oh, Whale Valentines

 



These are the little tags I made for my grandson's teachers and put them on Rice Krispie treats. I have no idea why I needed to make 25 of them but I was happy to oblige. They were so easy. I just used a few glue dots to hold them onto the package and tied them at the top with Island Indigo bakers' twine. I love the color and hope it's still current. The teachers all loved them!

Cased Patterned Occasions Birthday Card

 

My friend always gets her cards from me and this time needed some birthday ones. A week earlier, she wiped out my birthday card stash so I looked for something quick and easy but for guys. I found the one Mary Fish did Here that I thought was super cute! I didn't have everything Mary used so I got out my retired stash. See, cute huh? I love it and so did my friend.

 

Picture's a little blurry since I had to use my iPad to take it.

Oh, Whale! Baby Card

 

Just a quick post to show you my new card. My friend asked for a few baby cards and so I searched the web. I found this Here on Heather Summer's blog and Cased it.  Isn't he cute?

Happy 29th Birthday (again)

 

I needed two super quick birthday cards for my two friends who celebrated their birthdays recently. Of course I had to make a slightly funny card for them. Does this show my age??... growing up I remember my dad always quoted Jack Benny every year and told us that he is 29 again! =)

 

My apoligies for the blurry pictures but I always forget to take pictures and this was better than nothing!

Leafy Birthday Card

I have a very quick post today with a card I made for my boyfriend's father. Isn't it pretty? He absolutely loved it! Now I'm sure I CASED it from someone but that was over a month ago so I have no idea who it was! I will post an update if I remember who.

Ink: Soft Suede
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Island Indigo, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Gumball Green, Composition Specialty paper

Stippled Blossoms 2013 Calendar

 



 

My friend had a few of these little calendars left over so I got some from her but never got around to making anything with them. I kept thinking of the calendars that I saw Deanna of Kloset Kreations make last year.  This past week or so she posted her 2013 versions Here (what perfect timing!) and I couldn't help but CASE her beautiful calendars using SU supplies! It's a regular size card but with an extra piece of cardstock on the bottom that is accordion folded so you can stand it up and it also will lay flat for easy storage or to put in an envlope to send to a friend! Today I gave this beauty to my friend at work. She was so very happy to receive it because she always has a little calendar on her desk but none for 2013 so far.

My apologies for the terrible pictures but it was pretty cloudy all day yesterday but I took so many pictures and these are the best. I really would like a photo box one day.

Thanks for looking!

Daydream Medallion Fancy Favor Box

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a while since I've posted. I just felt like I needed to take a little break but now I'm back! I have been very busy and will share more work in the next few  days and weeks. This is my take on the double stacked Fancy Favor box inspired by the very talented Dawn Olchefske Here for my friend's party favors. (Wish I had noticed that little spot on the ribbon before taking the photo but it will just have to do.) I used some retired dsp called Merry Moments and I just love how pretty and elegant it turned out. It's so much prettier in person! I hope you like it too!

Recipe:
Stamps: Daydream Medallion and Contempo Christmas
Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Silver glimmer and (retired) Merry Moments
Inks: Real Red and Gumball Green
Other: Holiday Ornaments Framelits dies,Cherry Cobbler dazzling details and satin ribbon from my stash

Giraffe Card!

 

This is a super quick post today. My friend at work asked me to make her a giraffe card for her daughter's birthday. Her daughter LOVES giraffes so this is what I came up with. Isn't he cute? I am pretty proud of myself because I don't do punch art pretty much at all! I cased it from Sandie Conner's blog. I'll list the supplies and link to her blog when I get a chance.

 

Oh yes, shhh don't tell..... He hasn't noticed yet but he's missing his tail. =)

 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!



Little Christmas Pouch

 

Hello there! I saw this super duper cute pouch on Heather Summer's blog and decided to try to make one. It came out so darned cute! A real head turner, looks much better in person. I love Real Red and Soft Suede together and it works here! I'm thinking that you could easily tuck a gift card in there as well. Imagine it as a gift for teachers! I think I will make a few hundred of these!

Blessing Mix

 

 

 

Tonight we had our Inspiration Night and this is what I made. Aren't these cute? These were inspired by Angie Kennedy Juda and her blog Chic' n Scratch. I have been looking at this idea for a couple of years now and finally got to make it. It's very sweet for Thanksgiving and I love the beautiful and fun fall colors!

You can see from the poem what is inside this little box but I'll list it below too. I think I have a couple extras of what I put inside and will post a picture later. The poem is from Angie as well. Love this project and I thought it went over well with the group.

Recipe:
Paper: Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler
Inks: Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Soft Suede
Stamps: Full of Blessings
Other: Fancy Favor and Autumn Accents dies, Brushed Bronze buttons, Crumb Cake Tulle, Chevron, Spider Web and Square Lattice embossing folders and brown twine

Inside the box: Bugles, pretzels (not sticks or squares-need to be the traditional rounded ones), orange slices candies, candy corn and peanuts.

Cupcake Notes!

My friend and I were laughing at our version of note cards which are actually post-it notes. I saw this really cute idea by Becky Roberts here so decided to case it. These worked up really fast. The cupcake is from Carry On and the sentiment is from a retired set. I kept that set just for the sentiment that says "if you are what you eat, eat something cute". Thought it was cute.

I Dig You Thank You Cards

 

My grandson recently celebrated his 4th birthday and my daughter asked for some thank you cards to the people who sent gifts. She asked for truck cards since he loves trucks. Of course being that she's my daughter she needs them "now" Lol. I whipped these up in about two hours. I was happy to use up some dsp. I was going to paper piece some Old Olive cs onto the back section of the truck but it was late. So I stepped back, looked at them and said "done"! I think they turned pretty cute....

 

Recipe:
Stamps: I Dig You
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red and assorted retired dsp
Inks: Basic Gray, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip

Sending Some Snowbuddy Love

Hello there!





It was super hot in the past few weeks so I made this little card for my grandson to send his "uncle" that he loves so much. I purposely did not color it so he could color it himself. The feet are cut off a little bit but I was in a rush stamping during lunch but I don't think it's a big deal being that it's coming from a 3 year old ;-)  On the inside my daughter wrote "I hope this card helps you stay cool".  Cute huh?

Scentsational Season

Isn't this set super cute? I love it!  I went simple with these and just let the cute images and dsp shine. I have to figure out blogger cropping which used to work but now doesn't, well for me anyway! I love the new stamp pad for the gingerbread man image, see how nice it is compared to the splotchiness of the hot chocolate mug. I should get them all over time.

Recipe:
Stamps: Scentsational Season, Sentiments from Teeny Tiny Wishes, Petite Pairs and Sweet Essentials.
Inks: Soft Suede (love the new ink pad!), Cherry Cobbler and Bashful Blue
Papers: Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Be of Good Cheer dsp

Thank You Notes

This is going to be a super quick post. My eldest daughter asked for some little thank you notes for her birthday party and this is what I came up with. They are very simple 3 x 3" notes stamped onto Whisper White. Colors are Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo. After I took the pictures I added a little rhinestone to one of the hearts on each card. That finished it off!

Update: Recipe: PTI Heart-2-Heart, Stampin UP Whisper White cs, Dots from Deanna at Kloset Kreations. I love them because they are half the height of SU dimensionals and sometimes that's what you need.
