Balloons & Clouds

It seems a lot of cards I make lately have clouds on them! The clouds on this card were stamped in Not Quite Navy using the cloud stamp from Send Me Soaring stamp set. I stamped the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes in basic gray on the white cardstock and then stamped the balloon on Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Lucky Limeade cardstock. I cut the balloons out and then stamped them in Craft White using the Polka-dot Background stamp. Happy Birthday was stamped in each of the three colors. I need some birthday cards, so I may need to make a few more of these as it is a CAS card. I'm linking this up to the Clean & Simple FTL179 and the challenge at Stampin' Royalty SR#113.

To clarify, the stamped layer is adhered to a white card. Maybe I should have sponged around the top layer?  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by....

More Cupcakes

Here's another card with the Create a Cupcake stamp set. The first picture is a close up of the cupcake image to showcase the glittered cherry that was punched out of the red glittered card stock in the mini catalog.

This is a picture of the card I created for a swap I was in. The pretty in pink wide striped ribbon was cut in half and then adhered to sticky strip to "ruffle" it. The crumb cake card stock is distressed around the edges. This card is very similar to the one above except for the placement of the sentiment. I originally created this card for the swap, but decided to make a few minor changes.
For those of you wondering, I am working on upcoming classes. I just need a little more time!:)

Birthday Celebration

Since SU! is offering 20% off of select birthday stamp sets, I am offering a class using the set Crazy for Cupcakes which is one that is on sale. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but I had fun with the card and envelope holder that I came up with. The envelope holder is not my original design. I saw it on this blog and she had great video directions to make it.

Recipe for Cupcake Card:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes

Paper: Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Watercolor Paper, Sweet Always Designer Paper

Ink: Black Staz On, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate chip Markers

Accessories: Aqua Painter, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain, Large Oval Punch, Horizontal Slot Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Recipe for Envelope Tote:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Polka Dot Background

Paper: Whisper White Envelope, Regal Rose, Georgia Peach Designer Paper

Ink: Regal Rose, Old Olive, Pink Pirouette

Accessories: Rose Ribbon, Brads, White Gel Pen, Decorative Scissors

To make the cupcake on the tote, I inked the cupcake in old olive and stamped it on the designer paper and then stamped it again using the pink pirouette so it would be very light for the frosting portion. I cut out the top and bottom and then adhered the top with dimensionals and added glitter to cover up any ink that may have shown.
