Happy Birthday Jalyn !

We have another birthday, this time is my niece Jalyn's 6th birthday!   She is in to everything Karate, softball and she is a girly girl that loves to shop and loves pink and animal prints and she is gorgeous.

I decided on a cupcake card for her.  My inspiration came from the Stampin' UP! catalog page 48.  I pulled two ideas together and came up with this card.  I liked the circle on the box with the cupcake on it.  I liked a strip of paper down the center but changed colors; then I pulled the flags from the card at the top and I love the circle punches so added that and of course since Jalyn loves bling I added rhinestones on the cupcake and dazzling diamonds glitter and that little bit of ribbon behind it all.  I confess here I used retired dsp paper for the circle. :(  I rarely do that but the color was perfect.  Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday to Dawson!

Today is my nephew Dawson's 9th birthday and he loves baseball and he is on the Braves baseball team.  I wanted to make his birthday special, and this is what I came up with.

For the clouds I punched out a scallop circle and sponged around it with Bashful Blue and just kept moving the punch around.  Love the look!  For the hat I used 3 large (Night of Navy) oval punches and layered them and cut the bottoms off and hand cut the brim and glued them all together and added a (Real Red) brad. I did use a B (Real Red) from the retired Naturally Serif Sizzlits Decorative Strip Dies. The baseball was from a (Whisper White) 2 1/2 circle and I cut two; one to trace around to make the stitching on the ball and then free hand the stitches.  Happy Birthday was from Teeny Tiny Wishes set and window punch and modern label punch.

Happy Stamping!  Blessings!

Wedding Shower Card

Today I went to a friend's wedding shower and this is the card I made for her.  I love that is looks like a wedding dress.  I used her wedding colors for the accents (orange and purple) Calypso Coral and Elegant Eggplant. I used the Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers and a Calypso Coral Brad in the center.  As far as the dress just cut on a curve to the waist on the top piece of your folded whisper white card stock.  I found a dress similiar to this on our Stampin Connection site for demos only.  I love that we get great ideas on there.
