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!

A Few Cards

Hello, my loves.

This Sunday was spent in my craftspace just having fun and creating.  I stamped images out the weekend before, but never got around to using them.  So when I had time this weekend, I knew I was going to make some cards.

The first card was actually for a Mojo Monday challenge (331).

Unfortunately, I was unable to upload in time to join, but I still completed it on time.  That's okay, I super love the card I made!

I had a dogtag in my die cut bin and thought to use it in the sentiment along with the wood veneer.

 I added a few different embellishments in a cluster and I love how it looks.  I had to add that sparkle cupcake button too.

 Her cupcake cake sparkle too!

She got a rhinestone heart for her hairpiece.

I am a big fan of The Cat's Pajamas and although I only have a couple of them, I love seeing this bunny and his giant ears.

The striped die-cut was a freebie included with an internet order way back when I first started scrapping…but I kept it and finally found the perfect use for it.

 I thought it would be cute to have hearts coming out with the smoke clouds.  :)

I also added sparkle to his nose!

I liked using this saying on the inside.

This is the first time maying a Twilight-inspired card.  It was so much fun to colour.

 I knew Edward's face should have sparkle.

I actually cut Bella's hair and moved the bang portion lower down on her forehead creating a gap where I added light purple beneath to match the paper and glitter on top to match Edward.

I was thinking about which sentiment I should use with one of the greatest love couple ever…I thought this went perfectly.

Thanks for checking my cards out!  What will you make this week?
