Happy Birthday with Cupcakes

I just love using my Anya Treats stamp from The Greeting Farm.  Isn't it fun?  And it can be used for different occasions.  I actually pulled her out a couple weeks ago for the Sweet Treats challenge, but let the deadline pass.  So I let her sit on my desk until I had a chance to use her again.  And I was lucky this week!  :)  Because the Farm Fresh Friday's theme this week was Birthday Bash.  Yay!  I would love a whole box of cupcakes for my birthday, wouldn't you?

I paper-pieced her using MME Darling Dear and Simple Stories Vintage Bliss, in addition to coloring her with Copic markers.  I added glossy accents to the hearts on her cupcakes and hats.  All the paper other than Anya comes from the MME Honey collection (big recommend!)  I used birthday stamp from the Unity April 2011 KOTM and added stickles to the word ''HAPPY''.  I used the Vertical Greetings die from MFT and wrapped it with grey Doodletwine.  I used a border punch on a scrap piece of paper for some layering beneath.  Oh, and I found the yellow paper that I used for my card base in my stock.  It's pearl and shimmery - it's gorgeous in person.  Thanks for the fun challenge!  I had a ton of fun creating!

Together is the Nicest Place to Bee

Today I am showing a card I made for two challenges - Simon Says Wednesday Challenge and the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge.  Simon's theme was weddings and anniversaries.  The sketch for the Sweet Sunday Sketch incorporates wonky angles.  :)

I went with the theme of yellow for my card.  This lovely card base can be found at MFT - it's Banana Split!  (Love that name!)  I broke on an oldie but goodie from the Unity July 2011 KOTM.  I paper-pieced the two bees from some scrap yellow paper.  The wings and hearts I colored with my copics.  I also added some Ice Stickles to the hearts.  

The sentiment comes from MFT My Favorite Sentiments.  I just used a strip of kraft paper and used my corner punch on it.  Using my multiliner pen I added an 'e' to make it ''Together is the nicest place to bee''.  On the lower half of the card, I used my PTI Happy Hexagons Stamp Set to create the honeycomb look.  

 

I added a bright yellow gingham bow to the side of the image with another gingham scrap piece of paper layered underneath to which I added dashes on the edges with my pen.  Isn't it ''bee-u-tiful''?

 On the inside, I stamped this sentiment for an anniversary.

Have a scrappy week and don't forget to play along if you can!  :)  

Cheers, Sherri
