Cupcake Birthday Card


Here is another birthday card. The cupcake on this card is a felt sticker from K & Company. I put the pink rhinestone circle around it. The paper is just some miscellaneous paper I had. The little hearts were in the same pack as the cupcake. I really love using felt stickers. They give a really cute dimension to cards.

Vellum Flower Birthday Card


Here is one of the birthday cards that I promised I would post. For the flower on the card I punched out 5 Scalloped circles in pink vellum using Stampin Ups scallop circle punch. I layered all five together and punched a hole in the center. I use a brad to hold them all together. I then crumbled the top 4 layers to get a ripple effect. I saw the tutorial for this on a blog called My Favorite Things. I would put a link to the blog here, but I don't know how to do that yet. The swirl is from a stamp set called dotted swirls by Inkadinado. Thanks for looking.

Hello

Today I want to share the Valentines Day Card I sent to my family and friends. I am a little late with this post because I was trying out some photo editing software. I usually just snap a picture and then post it. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of editing my pictures. It is really frustrating at times though. I want my pictures to be crisp and clear like I see on some of the blogs I look at. The picture of my valentines day card is as good as it gets until I figure out the steps to a great picture. The large heart on this card is cut out with the scalloped heart nestie die by spellbinders. I used some white glitter paper I got from Target. The small heart is cut out with Stampin Ups scalloped heart embosslit that was in the mini cat. I will be posting a couple of birthday cards I made soon, so check back to see them.
