Happy Birthday Card Set Part I {Lucy}

I am working on another card set with magazine holder.  Here are two of the cards so far.

The first has one of my favorite elements...Sparkle!  I decided to stamp Happy Birthday to you on the inside and leave the outside for just a cupcake.

I mean seriously...just look at the sparkle!!  ;)

Next is a card that has a minimal feel to it.  I wanted this set to be a range of birthday cards.  I'm going to be making some masculine cards as well.  Even though this paper pack is considered 'girly', as with most packs, it can be used in a variety of ways.

Stay tuned to see the others in this set.  When I post the rest I'll list the supply details.

Thanks for stopping by!

New and Old {First FB Drawing}

I did a little drawing on my Facebook page for people who "liked" my page.  The winner chose a card set as her prize and here are of a few of the cards she'll be receiving.

The first card is using the beautiful Lucy papers.  And if you like these papers you need to grab them before August 1st!  For this card I stamped on the brand new canvas shapes with our new pigment ink.  It works beautifully!

The second card is my favorite.  I am loving the new Flirty papers--and silly me--I didn't even order this set!!  I will have to amend that!

And this final one is made using almost all retired product.  {{Sorry}}  I just went for the masculine stamp and that's how it came together.  The inside is stamped with a Happy Birthday sentiment.

I hope the contest recipient enjoys them.  I made the embellishments/layering pretty flat:  A. I'm shipping them to an Air Force base in Germany, and B. If she wants to mail them she probably will need them to be flat also.

Thanks for stopping by!

You're Sweet

I put this card together using a new stamp set I received at the 2012 CTMH Convention.  It's a great set that is perfect for making cute cards!

I paper-pieced the cupcake and colored the icing with the new alcohol marker and then, of course, had to douse it with Prisma glitter--the shinest stuff on earth!

More to come!
