Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 297

Hello friends! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today we have a fun flower challenge at Cupcake Inspirations.

This week we are being sponsored by Craft Classes Online. You could win a free seat to one of their classes! How fun!

Here are the DEEtails for today's card:

I stamped the pretty flower image from So Very Grateful on some Whisper White Cardstock and colored it in using my Stampin' Write Markers. Then I stamped the sentiment from Another Thank You before I trimmed down the image and punched it with the Angled Tag Topper punch. The rest of the card was pretty simple. I used some patterned paper from Heidi Swapps Favorite Things line - I told you I'm loving this stuff! Then I layered on some Chevron ribbon over a piece of Basic Black Cardstock that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border and then tied up some pretty Cotton Ribbon on my tag. This is the first time using the Cotton Ribbon and I am just loving the way it flows! Then I adhered the tag with some Stampin' Dimensionals and added a few pretty sequins as a finishing touch. What do you think?

Happy Birthday Balloon

Hello! Hello! Hope your week has been going well. I'm dropping in today to share a quick birthday card. 

Here are the DEEtails:

I just got this cute birthday die from Mama Elephant and love it paired with the happy balloon from Celebrate Today. I stamped the balloon in VersaMark ink and embossed it in gold. I used the Balloon Framelits to die cut the balloon and adhered it to white card stock. Then I tied on some Gold Baker's Twine and some fun gold tassels that I die cut from a Gold Foil Sheet. I adhered my card stock to a piece of striped DSP from the Stacked with Love DSP Paper Stack. I added a few sequins for a little extra sparkle.

Hello! How Are You?

Today I'm playing with a few new Occasions Catty and Sale-A-Bration products to make a fun and playful card. 

DEEtails:

I didn't realize that I ordered a TON of paper with my last order, so I'm a little bit on DSP overload. Haha. This one from Best Year Ever stood out and I loved the fun pattern and playful mix of colors. I chose a simple layout with a bit of Coastal Cabana peeking out behind a strip of Soft Suede. I love the Because You Care hostess set and the cute sentiments. I stamped "hello how are you?" on some Hello Honey cardstock with Soft Suede ink and used the banner die from the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits dies for this card. I layered it over a delicate doily and embellished it with a button from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack. What do you think?
