Cupcake Birgitta Birthday

This is my first time using C.C. Designs, I have always loved the look of these stamps and the cuteness these children display. Some digital stamps are available at "All That Scraps." For many of my friends and followers, you know that I love using digital stamps.

For this card I used the Color Throwdown #143,
And since I'm still behind on a few of the Mojo Monday sketches I completed this card with Mojo Monday 190,

I colored Brigitta with Copics and added glitter to her wings, and a bit of blue glitter pen to her buttons. I used the Happy Birthday CB embossing folder to give texture to the background and since I didn't stamp a sentiment I thought the background embossed was enough to know it is for a birthday.

See you later,

Berry Sweet

I'm a little behind in my Mojo Monday's but I think I've caught up a bit now, I haven't really had to much time to craft in my spare time.
I liked this Mojo Monday sketch, as it was simple yet made the card stand out.

I used the colorQ challenge #86, as I thought all the colors where very summer like. I paper pieced the strawberries and the bucket with designer paper. The digital image is from Wax Fruit Company, my first time using there images.

Thanks for stopping by,

Transformer Card

A birthday request for a little boy turning 4 who loves Transformers.
This image was fairly simple to turn into a Cut File, just a bit of tweaking with the size and I made it all fit perfectly for a 5" card. I layered all the cut images with pop dots so the Transformers symbol would stand out.

Angry Birds Card

I got my idea for this card from tlfrank's version at Splitcoast Stampers. I then created my own svg cut file from a vector image and come up with my version of Angry Bird. Angry Birds is the latest rage of games on your iPod or iPhone. I too play this game as well but not addicted to it like some people are.

Lots of layers in this card and I found it difficult to adhere the rubber band as many adhesives do not adhere well to this type of surface. I love the out come of this card!

Thanks for stopping by :)

PAPER: SU; Pacific Point, Whisper White, Orchid. Bazzill; Baby Blue, Caramel, Green, Red, Black, Orange, White.
EMBELLISHMENTS: Rubber Band.

For National Scrapbooking day on Saturday, I managed to finish a card I started on Friday. This card looks really pretty but unfortunately after taken 20 pictures of it I just couldn't get a shot where the sentiment wasn't given a reflection.

Flower Pot Pocket Card


Here is my second Mother's Day card created for this year, it is a Flower Pot Pocket Card. You can make one too at Splitcoaststampers where there is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make it.

This card is pretty simple to make, I did lots of layers on the flowers with different colored designer papers and also on the flower pot for added dimension. Buttons were added to the center of the flowers for that little touch and ribbon used to keep the flower pot closed to hold the pocket card.
