I {Heart} Cupcakes Birthday Card

I made this card for my friend’s birthday–can you tell it’s supposed to be a cupcake? Technically, this is not the card I sent her, but an exact replica. The reason I had to make another card is because in my excitement, I made the card, put it in an envelope and dropped it at the post office BEFORE I took a picture! Where was my head??

The base is Chocolate chip card stock, layered with Shades of Spring DSP in a large pink dotted pattern.

The cupcake was made with chocolate chip card stock (I cut the shape of the base with scissors), then passed it through the Crimper. All of the hearts are from I {Heart} Hearts stamped in Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa ink. Then I punched them out with the Heart to Heart Punch. They are attached to the Whisper White base using Mini Glue Dots and Stampin Dimensionals.

Across the front of the cupcake, I added a sentiment. I stamped “happy birthday” from Goody Goody Gumdrops in Regal Rose Marker on Whisper White and punched that out with the Word Window Punch. Then, I layered that onto a Regal Rose Modern Label Punch attached with Stampin Dimensionals.

My Digital Studio {First Birthday Invitations}

I am working on some invitation ideas for 1st birthdays. This round is for boys, and I’m going to come up with some for girls as well.

I like to start by looking at online invitation sites for ideas and layouts, then using the My Digital Studio program (MDS), I make my own version.

Sometimes I will make the design by hand and sometimes I’ll print it out on card stock or glossy card stock. Of course I prefer the 3D handmade version most times, but sometimes both are nice.

Version 1: Created in MDS using Hoppy Memories DSP, tempting turquoise, star punch, circle punch, serif numbers, big bold birthday


Version 2: Based on design from tinyprints.com. Created in MDS with chocolate chip background, TIZA font in bashful blue, certainly celery, and so saffron.


Version 3: Created in MDS using tempting turquoise background, Big Bold Birthday circles; truck made from tag punch, circle punch, square punch; All in the family stamp set


Version 4: MDS created using My Sweet Pea Digital Kit, Curly label punch, circle punch, big bold birthday.
