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.

A Whale of a Valentine {Fox & Friends}

This card is too cute! I’m sure you’ve seen this type of card before, using the Slit Punch to make waves, but I’ve been anxious to try it with the whale from Fox and Friends in a Valentine’s Day format. I think I will give this one to my little nephew for his first Vday.

The card base is Bermuda Bay, layered with a 4″x5 1/4″ piece of Whisper White. I used Bashful Blue DSP from a Prints Pack in this polka dot pattern. (Side note: I admit it, I know I need to stop using the polka dots, but I just can’t!)

I made the “waves” by lining up the Slit Punch along the bottom edge of the Bashful Blue DSP. Keep punching, making sure all the slits touch one another slightly. Then, flip the paper upside down and you have your “waves”. I sponged the waves with Bashful Blue ink and a Sponge Dauber. Next, I layered 3 pieces of the “wave” DSP using Stampin Dimensionals and SNAIL adhesive. Here is a side view so you can see the layering:

The whales, from Fox and Friends were stamped in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock. I wiped off the heart using a toothpick and colored it in with Real Red marker before stamping. Then, I trimmed each one out and adhered them to the card.

At the bottom, I stamped “happy valentine’s day” from A Happy Heart in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White and stamped the little heart from Goody Goody Gumdrops in Real Red ink on top. Then, I punched it out with the Word Window Punch and layered it onto Bermuda Bay punched with the Modern Label Punch. That is attached to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.

Finally, I added some clouds from Good Neighbors in Bashful Blue ink to make a sky.

Thanks for looking, it was a fun card to make and I’m happy to share it with you!

Ink colors of houses are from left to right: close to cocoa, brocade blue, old olive, and so saffron ink.  The roofs are stamped in river rock, close to cocoa, and basic gray. I stamped them on Very Vanilla card stock, layered with Close to Cocoa and a strip of Dusty Durango card stock punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.
