Cupcake Wars




Using Stampendous Birthday Chick stamp I masked the chick and stamped only the mouse with the cupcake. I then made several tags for upcoming birthday presents. Using Spellbinders oval dies, Penny Black Celebration sentiments, Elizabeth Designs Tag dies and others made it tons of fun to make these fun celebratory tags. Other supplies included: Echo Park Party Time 6x6 papers, Mirror gold cardstock, Twinery Caribean blue for the 1st tag. Translucent, party confetti, and the same papers from the first for the second tag. DCWV Turquoise glitter paper, Core'diations embossed cardstock in yellow, and Ranger Distress Platinum Glitter and Sparkle and Sprinkle turquoise glitter used with Fineline glue tip for the 3rd tag. Many ribbons: magenta silk and tulle (Hobby Lobby), gold and ecru ribbon from Target, Turquoise sheer organza from Recollections.

Altenew Balloon Thanks card

Using Altenew Baby Balloon Stamp and die set along with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine, made this very easy and relaxing to die cut and color. The Sentiment is from Altenew Signature words die cut in black and yellow and then layered on top of each other. The balloon pattern paper was a piece from a scrap pad I was given. I added the yellow cardstock piece to add to the design of the card.
