A Cupcake Kind of Day

Hi! Happy New Year! I was just sitting around wondering what I should do when I realized I haven't blogged in a while. This is a little birthday card featuring the Pure Innocence stamp called Hello Cupcake. I am really starting to like this line of stamps too so I'm looking forward to the next release which is Tuesday! And the Die-namic dies look so fun and cute too that I may just pick some up also. I thought the paper which is from My Mind's Eye set the scene so nicely that I just used the whole 6 x 6 instead of cutting it. So this card is rather large.

Because it is large I put an easel type backing so it can stand like a picture. I like the banners at the top of the paper and I thought I should've bought the banner dies from PTI! Oh well ... The little number 2 is a sticker.

I added some Stickles on the cupcake. (Thanks, Cheryl!). I also sprayed on some Sparkle Shimmer Spritz onto the whole card. Maybe the above pictures would show that better. That really adds some shine!

Tomorrow is back to school for the kids so I think I will be going to bed early. It's gonna be tough!

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

That image is so cute and love the patterned paper you used & the cupcake topping. And um, I don't remember the last time I ever "...was just sitting around wondering what I should do". Just relaxing & chilling out sounds nice to me now, lol.

Cute card and paper! The sparkle looks neat. I'm still not back into the school mode, I didn't even get to do my usual websurfing and commenting this morning!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
