Mom's Birthday

Hi Scrappers :)

So my mom celebrated a birthday on the 12th of January. I had her birthday card made way before then. I didn't want to post it just incase she checked my blog. I couldn't give away what her card looked like before she saw it. So I'm posting now :) She enjoyed it. I used an action wobble on the cake so it would wobble and have the appearance of laughing. My sister loved it and wanted to make a hand made card for Mom as well. My sis designed a cute cupcake card and I put it together for her. She picked everything out.

Materials:
--Round Cake Card:

• Circle card cut by welding two circles together in my Gypsy. The card when folded together creates a 4.25" sized card. 
• Stripped layer is cut at 4"
• Cake is from the Smiley Cards cartridge (this was an exclusive download for Gypsy owners who registered their Gypsy before October 31, 2010). Cake is cut at 3".
• The icing layers were ran through the Xyron and Martha Stewart fine glitter was applied.
• Speech bubble is also from the Smiley Cards cartridge and it's cut at 1.75"
• "Happy Happy Birthday" is from a My Pink Stamper stamp set.
• Doodling around the edges finishes off the card.

--Square Cupcake Card:

• This card is a 4.25" x 4.25" card.
• Hot pink layer is cut to 4x4"
• The cupcake is from the Sweet Treats cartridge. (This cupcake has a heart that is supposed to be attached at the top. I put the frosting layer on and trimmed the heart off.) Cupcake is cut at 3".
• The cupcake wrapper was ran through the Xyron and Martha Stewart fine glitter was applied.
• The candles are also from the Sweet Treats cartridge. (These candles were from another cut I just enlarged them enough to fit on the top of the cupcake using my Gypsy). 
• The flower is from the Forever Young cartridge cut at 1". (The brown portion of the flower was also ran through the Xyron and glittered).
• "Happy Birthday" is a from a My Pink Stamper stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by. Happy Scrappin!

Happy Birthday

WOW, another blog post in the same day! I'm on a roll. So I created this cute cup cake card for my dad's birthday. I was trying to figure out a way to make something cute but be manly. So what better way than to use the color blue. Perfect! 

Materials:

Crumb Cake SU card stock cut to 5.5 x 4.25"

Cup Cake cut from Create A Critter at 3"

I used to hide contour feature to hide the face and I used a Peachy Keen face stamp.

The brown patterned paper is from the TPC Studio Homeroom stack and it's cut at 5.5 x 2"

Happy Birthday is from the My Pink Stamper Family & Friends stamp set (I cut the stamp in half to separate the two words). 

White pearls are from my stash.

I used a Jelly Roll black pen to doodle around the cupcake and a white Jelly Roll pen to doodle around the outer edges of the card.

Happy Scrapin :)

Update

Hello by blog friends. I know it has been awhile since my last post...well over a month actually. Not a whole much craft wise has really happened. So I have a few projects that I have already given to people. One of which was inspired by Sarah at Live, Love, and Scrap. My mom needed a birthday card and Sarah has made some beautiful cards using the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. So I thought that mom and I could size it down to a standard A2 sized card. 

The next card was made for a friend of mine that was hospitalized. The card put a smile on his face :)

The final card was made for my wonderful boyfriend. I saw Joy with Obsessed with Scrapbooking make this card as a Christmas card. I was so fascinated with it I decided to give it a go.

Well my scraping friends I'm going to finish making my little coffin boxes to give to people for Halloween. I'll share those when I'm finished. Also, I finished making my holiday bows for Christmas. I'll try and get a few pictures off all of them.

Heartfelt Thanks

So I am really sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. Life just got super crazy at home and work and it didn't leave any time for scrapin, crafting, or bloggin. So I am sorry to all those that are following.

So first on the list is a card I made to enter into Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge over at My Creative Time. The theme was "Frame It" using Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge or any older cartridge you have. Well I do not own many of the older cartridges since I just started collecting cartridges at the end of 2009. So I was flipping through the "Just Because Cards" cartridge and ran across the cutest tree with a swing. I thought it would make a beautiful thank you card. So without further adue here is my Throwback Thursday Challenge entry :) I hope you enjoy it.

Recipe:
Kraft card stock cut at 4.25 x 5.5" the long way
Cream card stock cut at 4 x 5.25" using the Cricut cartridge George & Basic Shapes
Patterned paper cut at 3.75 x 5" using the Cricut cartridge George & Basic Shapes
The patterned paper cut has a shape from Just Because Cards cut in the middle to form the frame.
The tree is from Just Because Cards and cut at 3 x 3.59"
The dark green tree top is cut at 3 x 2.44"
The patterned paper layer is cut at 3 x 2.44" and pop dotted on the dark green tree top layer
The stamp is from My Pink Stampers Every Day Occasions stamp set
I used an Elmer's Painters opaque paint marker in white for the corner dots

Happy Birthday

Alright, so on to the other card I made recently. I made this for a good friend of mine. It was her birthday weekend last weekend and what better way than to celebrate with a cupcake of your very own. So here is the yummy card.

Recipe:
This card was created in my Gypsy.
I used the Cricut cartridge Sweet Treats for the entire card.
The cup cake wrapper was cut at 5.20 x 6.10. I took 1 cupcake wrapper, then copied that first one, flipped it and rotated it so the two would fold up on each other. I welded two rectangles from George & Basic Shapes so it would form a pocked when folded onto itself.
The striped layer was a layer for the cupcake wrapper cut at the same size as the base.
The cupcake was cut at 3.72 x 4.65". I did the same thing with the cupcake that I did with the wrapper. I grabbed the first cupcake and flipped it and welded the two at the cherry.
I cut the remaining parts (cherry) at the corresponding size to the cupcake.
I added a little bling on the cherry.
The "Happy Birthday" is a My Pink Stamper "Friends & Family" stamp.
Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby when it was on sale a while ago.
