STAMPIN' UP! SWEET CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY CARD

After my card class yesterday (which was awesome!), I was inspired to create in my craft room before getting dinner ready.

One of my "surprise loves" in Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Catalogue is the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper stack.  I say "surprise", because it didn't jump out at me from the catalogue, but in real life, it is gorgeous.  Here's a pic of the designs in the stack:

I have paired one of the Peekaboo Peach/Calypso Coral designs with stamped images from the Sweet Cupcake stamp set (first time this has seen ink, and it's rather fun):

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make my card; if you'd like to buy them for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, to be taken direct to my online store.

Thanks for visiting my blog today ... I'm pleased to have a mid-week creation to share with you!  My blogging has been mainly for my weekly Just Add Ink Design Team creations for a while, and I'm planning to change that.  I appreciate you coming to visit, and hope I've inspired you to get creative!

JAI #323: STAMPIN' UP! FALLING FLOWERS BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi everyone!

Tina has come up with the idea for us to "Just Add ... F" to our papercraft project, for this week's Just Add Ink challenge.

After brainstorming "F" ideas, I narrowed my list down to Flowers, Flourishes, and Fringe Scissors!
I chose this pretty colour combination to work with:

Crumb Cake

Soft Sky

Pink Pirouette

Whisper White

Pear Pizzazz

I have used the gorgeous Falling Flowers stamp set, and co-ordinating May Flowers framelits, that cut out the flowers so beautifully.  I added a little colour to each flower, using a sponge dauber and the ink colour that matches each cardstock flower.

To make the flower box, I cut two window ledges from my Hearth & Home framelits, trimmed the lip off one, and stuck them together to give a deeper box for my flowers.  The join is hidden by the Linen Thread tied around the box.

I have listed below all the products used to make my card.  If you'd like to buy the products for yourself, you can go straight to my online store by clicking on one of the thumbnail images.

Make sure you check out the rest of the "F" creations by the other members of the Just Add Ink team!

I'm in for a lovely weekend, celebrating both my sister's and my birthdays.  I hope you have some special family time over the weekend, too.
