Good morning! Here’s a fun card using the Pennant Parade stamp set and Pennant Builder Punch. I made this card to swap after the new catalog came out. So along with the new stamps and punch, I wanted to use the new in-color, Lucky Limeade.
I think this made a bright, fun, gender-neutral birthday card. Perfect for a child’s birthday party. I started with a Daffodil Delight card base. And added a Whisper White layer stamped with the cake image from Bring On The Cake. Next, I punched some Poppy Parade with the scallop pennant shape. Then, I stamped the pennant images in Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, and Pacific Point. I finished by added the greeting and attaching the smaller pennants with Dimensionals.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

TGIF! Yesterday, I showed you the fun gift I gave Janet for her birthday. Today, I’ll show you the card I made for her. My inspiration came from the Spring Mini catalog where the Bring On The Cake stamp set first appeared. I love how it’s a play on a big layered cake.
I created my ruffled “icing” by gathering some Certainly Celery satin ribbon. I colored the “bottom layer” with my markers. And I created my table top with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and the 1” Circle punch.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!

Today is my friend Janet’s birthday, and it’s a BIG one :-). So I tried to think of something unique for her. Unfortunately, she’s in the last month of her pregnancy, and food isn’t as much fun as it should be. I decided to give her 40 candy bars that she can munch on while she’s home on maternity leave. It’s a combination of her favorite candy in Full Size and Fun Size bars. And even though 2/3 are probably Fun Size, that’s still a heavy bag of candy! I hope she enjoys it.
Next, I had to decorate the bag just for Janet -- that means Greens and Pinks. Of course, I had to use the Cupcake Punch and the new Lace Ribbon Border Punch to made a tiered tray full of goodies. I used sticky strip to attach some Certainly Celery Striped ribbon all the way around the bag.
My favorite part is the tag on top to let everyone know just what birthday it is. I used the Sticky Sheets to cut some sizzix numbers with the Big Shot. Then I covered them with the Silver Glass Glitter. I created my birthday banner with the “Happy Birthday” stamp from Bring On the Cake. I used my marker to color just the letters I needed and stamped them where they needed to be. I tied the tag onto the handle with Hemp Twine and more Certainly Celery Striped ribbon.

Good morning! Today, I’d like to share a birthday card I made for a friend. I knew I wanted to use bright colors and flowers. So I chose the Fabulous Florets stamp set. And I tried watercoloring my flowers. (I still need a lot of practice; this was my first time using the Aquapainter!)
I used Versamark and Real Red classic ink to stamp the flower outlines. Then I embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I started coloring the centers with Daffodil Delight. But that was completely covered up with my Melon Mambo ink. So I added some Real Red ink to tone that down. I think my biggest mistake was getting my paper too wet. Like I said, I’ll have to practice this more.
Since my flowers have a faded, vintagey look to them, I distressed the edge of my Striped DSP and added some Victoria Lace. I finished it by slightly distressing and sponging my Birthday greeting.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!
