It's a Birthday Celebration!

This card was designed for a card stack class that I was planning.  It is another one that can be used as a masculine or feminine card.  Who doesn't like a cupcake?

This was made using the Stampin Up, "Creat a Cupcake" stamp set and the "Cupcake Builder Punch".  The papers I used have are the recently retired, "Just Add Cake"

Happy crafting,

Dump Truck Birthday Celebration Card

This is a birthday celebration card that I made for our neighbor's third birthday.  I used my new cuttlebug again for the distressed stripes backgroung.  I thought it fit perfectly with the construction theme.  The dump truck is from the "B is for Boy" cartridge.  I cut it with all its layers at 3".  I tore brown paper to create the layers of dirt.  The stamp sentiment is from the Studio G Ditto series.  I can't wait to explore this cartridge some more.  There a lots of great images for both boys and girls, so don't let the title fool you. 


Have a great rest of the week!

Party Hat Celebration Birthday Card

This a recent birthday card I made using my newest crafting tool, the Cuttlebug.  The Cuttlebug is a  Embossing and Die Cutting Machine.  I just can't wait to get more cutting dies and embossingfolders for. 

This "It's Time to Celebrate" was with my Cuttlebug and My Little Shoebox papers.  I received these as part of my prize for being publishing in the Cricut Birthday Ideas Magazine.  The party hat was cut and embossed from a cuttlebug Mickey Party Accessory Set that I found on clearance at AC Moore.  I first cut out the hat first and then it had an accompanying embossing folder to add the details.  I have also been using my sewing machine more for some added details.  I add a zig-zag stitch to the background striped paper.  Enjoy the week!
