Stampin With Scraps... Birthday Cake

I cased this card idea from something I saw on Pinterest.  I decided to try it with paper scraps.  I used the Stampin' Up! stamp sets Playful Backgrounds and Bunch of Blossoms.

Details:  Marina Mist, Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry card stock scraps.  Candle made with Melon Mambo DSP scraps.  Big Dots embossing folder and sponged Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron Ink across background.

 

Wow... Bunch of Blossoms in Wisteria Wonder

Introducing the Bunch of Blossoms Stampin Up! set.  This stamp set gives you so much out of one set.  It can be used as a two-step stamp set or three-step stamp set.  The coordinating Blossom Builder punch makes it easy to punch out the flower tops and leaves.  

Wisteria Wonder, Old Olive

Pretty Splatter Color Combo

Having a little fun with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  I used the splatter stamp in Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake and Crushed Curry to create this card.  Love this color combo.

Retired... But Still Love it - It's My Party DSP

I know It's My Party DSP Paper Pack from the Occasions Mini is retired, but I still love using it... it's perfect for making birthday cards.  Used Balloon Bouquet Punch for Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry balloons.  I sponged the edges to pop the balloons. This was a 4 x 4 card I made for a gift basket.

Small Box Surprise

My friend Lilly Ruiz sent me this cute little box... she mailed it to me flat and I add my greeting and little touches... very cute for a small treat.  Love getting surprises in the mail.

Botanicals Butterfly Swaps

This was my swap for a demo swap I belong to.  I used the Botanical Builder Framelits flower to create the butterflies.  Photo below shows how I created the butterfly.
