Fab Birthday!

Hello and Happy New Year! For my first post in 2013, I have my creations for the new Fab Friday Challenge. Mindy has a fun sketch for us this time. I think it is really versatile and has lots of possibilities. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Here is my take on the sketch...

 

I like the sketch so much that I made two versions of the same card. I am in desperate need of birthday cards in my stash. My kids seem to go to at least one birthday party each month, so I can't seem to keep a good supply of birthday cards. I wanted to make a feminine and masculine version, but they are both pretty gender neutral.

 

Here are close ups of each of them.

 

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Bring on the Cake, Create a Cupcake
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Red Glimmer, Summer Smooches DSP
Ink: Black Staz On, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Cupcake Builder punch, 1" Square punch, Brights buttons, Baker's twine

Come on over to Fab Friday and play along! I can't wait to see what YOU make!

Elegant Birthday

Hello again! I have a birthday card to share with you today. It was made for a family friend who celebrated her birthday over the weekend. The first one was made using a new technique that I found on Kelly Acheson's blog. It uses the satin ribbon to make a flower. The link to her tutorial is here. I was happy with it and thought it turned out well for a first attempt.

I sprayed the front of this card with homemade shimmer spray and added lots of rhinestones to give it lots of bling. The sentiment came from the new stamp set in the Occasions mini catalog called "Bring on the Cake".

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Bring on the Cake

Ink: Rich Razzleberry

Paper: Basic Gray, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Accessoris: Big Shot, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Wide Oval punch, Scallop Trim border punch, Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon, shimmer spray, heat tool

Techniques: Ribbon Flower

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
