Sweet Wishes

When Festive Friday Challenges decides to celebrate World Chocolate Day, who am I to argue? Never let it be said I neglected the opportunity to make a card with a chocolate theme, lol. I'm dovetailing it with Just Us Girls and Inkspirational challenges too, as they both have a stencil theme.

 

From the FF inspo list, I used brown, cream, cherries and a sweet sentiment.

I've layered the box of cupcakes, cutting two from kraft card and one from white, stencilling with a variety of inks. The sentiment comes from the same release. Anyone else craving a cupcake/some chocolate now???

Materials used:

• stamp & die combo - Hey Cupcake (Waffle Flower)
• dies & stencil combo - Boxed Cupcakes (Waffle Flower)
• other - blending brushes, Big Shot, white gel pen, craft foam, Copic markers, Dimensionals, white embossing powder, heat tool

Have a sweet day and thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Wishes and Cupcakes

Today's card is for two challenges, Inspired by... and Just Us Girls.

 

These challenges were the perfect excuse I really didn't need to bust out some goodies and play!

Materials used:

• dies - Postage Collage, Postage Collage blocks, Happy Birthday script word (all Waffle Flower)
• stencils - Postage Collage Cupcakes, Postage Collage Coloring, Confetti background (all Waffle Flower)
• inks - summer shower, seaside, coral reef, passion fruit (Pinkfresh), golden glitz (Delicata), twisted citron (Tim Holtz)
• other - blending brushes, Big Shot, Dimensionals, craft foam, clear Wink of Stella

I chose colours that are festive but not too bold and added some sparkly touches on each panel for extra birthday zing. As usual there are two layers to the die-cut sentiment for strength and depth.

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Set

The lovely postie man brought one of those nice brown boxes this morning and my goodies included the Sweet & Sour speciality papers. Now, these are not my usual colours (as you will all know!) but for some reason, they do appeal to me. Anyway, their arrival was absolutely PERFECT timing because not half an hour later I discovered that today is the birthday of my dear friend and team-mate, Liam. I wanted to make her something, so I quickly sat down and made her a cupcake carrybox with matching card.

Here a pic:

I cased the card from SCS by mamamostamps, just tweaking it a little, and of course decorated my carrybox to match. The stamps for the card and the tag on the box are from the set Birthday Bakery, a level 1 hostess set and the cutest of the bunch, in my opinion. Michel's Patisserie provided the cupcake with pink icing to fill the box!

If you are an admirer of Liam's wonderful creativity, why not pop over to her blog here and wish her a happy birthday?

Thanks for stopping by. Now back to cutting cards for tonight's class!
