Crafter's Companion~ Sweet Birthday Wishes

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends! Today, I'm back with another new SHAKER die set 

from Crafter's Companion. 

I used the delicious "Sweet Birthday" Shaker Stamp and Die set for today's fun card. 

These Shaker Die sets make making a shaker card a SNAP. I simply die cut 4-5 layer for my shaker elember and two layers for the wrapper element. I layered the Cupcake using the Stiched Rectangle Die and adhered the 2 card bases (top and bottom) with the Rectangle Die. 

I finished with a sentiment from the set and enamel dots from my stash. 

And here's the inside of my card:

Thanks for stoppin' by!

LBBS~ Donut Worry...

Good morning crafty friends, today I'm super excited to share with you my make for 

Here's a lil' tag using Donuts Digital Stamps which is one of the two  new releases this month.You get 2 DELICIOUS Donuts in this little set!

Here is my card:

As soon as I saw this yummy donut, I knew I wanted to make it into a shaped card.

 I printed one copy onto Kraft Paper and one copy onto Neenah Smooth Solar White Cardstock. Before cutting out the one on Kraft paper, I lined up another Kraft sheet and cut out the image. This gave me the backing to the Donut card. I then scored the backing about a 1/2' from the top and used scor-tape to adhere to my card front. 

I colored the Donut Topping on the White CS and fussy cut out, I also added some shading to my donut on the Kraft paper using Spectrum Noir Markers. I edged all the edges with FC Black Pitt Pen and then embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) to give it a GLAZED look. I stamped my sentiment from the Two Paper Divas "Just Donuts" Stamp set (retired) onto Pink CS and adhered across my donut.

There we have it...a fun and delicious shaped card! Be sure to check out the other beautiful creations from the DT and leave them some love!

I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty today!

Two Paper Divas~ Watt's Up?

Happy Friday Crafty Friends, I'm back to share with you another make

using the newly released WATT'S UP set. 
This set is ADORABLE! As soon as I saw it, I HAD to have it. lol!
 

ADORBS right? lol I used the Love Lightbulb Cutting file by Sarah Bailey. All I did was offset it to create the base and the back of the card. I then scored the back 1/4 in on the left to create the fold. 

  I then stamped the lil' lightbulb inside the heart in Black Archival Ink with the little rays done in Memento "Dandelion" ink. I added some Shimmer with my Moondust Gel pen and finished with the sentiment. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this set!

I used different Sentiment's inside:

They really did "BRIGHTEN UP" the day of the recipients! hehehe

Girlie Birthday!

Good Morning! Today I have a Girlie Birthday card to share.

For this Shaped Easel card I used different shades of purple cardstock from American Crafts and Purple Gingham Paper from Recollections. I used a Bestie Digi by Sherri Baldy which can be found HERE. These images are so adorable and so much fun to color. I used Spectrum noir alcohol markers to color the image and Dew Drop Chalk in Perfect Plumeria to shade the die cut edge.

To shape the card, I used  the “Cherish” Punch Around the Page punch from Martha Stewart Crafts and the Valerian Flourish Die from Memory Box. Labels 14 from Spellbinders Nestabilities were used with the Birthday Sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Happiest Birthday Wishes collection for the inside of the card. 

Liquid Pearls in Lavender, Diamond Stickles, Purple Brads, ribbon and Bling from my stash were used for embellishments.
