Sweet Birthday Wishes

A sweet hello to you!  Today we are making a birthday card using the extra pieces from the die cuts we made on the Valentine card a few of weeks ago.  You can see that post Here.  In that card we cut out a cupcake and used a precut pop-up shape for the shaker part.  For this card we are using the inside of the cupcake shape for the top of the ice cream cone as well as, the other negative pieces from those cut outs.  The patterned paper is  Cool Summer by Carta Bella and the solid papers are Close To My Heart.  The ice cream top is from the Queen & Co Sweet Treats kit.  I am all about using every extra scrap I can!

Pieces of the Birthday Card

The first thing I did was cut out the ice cream cone and the large scoop of ice cream using the dies that came with the Queen & Co Sweet Treats kit.  You may not be able to see it in the photos but the ice cream cone die also embosses it at the same time.  So cute!  I glued the small ‘negative’ of patterned paper to the ‘negative’ of the cupcake frosting from the previous card.  I then used a pink Copic to color the ribbon and tied it to the large piece of patterned paper and glued that to the card front.  I then layered white cardstock onto the Chocolate cardstock.  I assembled the ice cream cone, allowing the larger ice cream scoop to break out of the borders of the mat.  Finally I stamped the inside of the card with a sentiment from the Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste Birthday Wishes set, it came with the Artiste cartridge.  I stamped it in Pixie ink and called it a day!

Hey There Cupcake!

Carta Bella, Close To My Heart, CTMH, Queen & Co, Sweet Treat Shaker Kit

Hey there Cupcake!  Today I am featuring the Queen & Co shaker kits and accessories.  I made a Valentine for the daughter of a friend of mine.  I also made a birthday card using the Sweet Treat set.

Queen & Co Sweet Treat set

I used Carta Bella paper to cut out the cupcake top and to use as the card base.  I used CTMH Lagoon cardstock for the cupcake liner.  The kit includes precut foam pop-up shapes, precut acetate for the shaker window, sentiments as well as, cupcake and ice cream cone dies.  I love these dies because they can be used without the other kit items and they emboss pleats into the cupcake liner and pattern marks into the ice cream waffle cone.  The kit also included various colors of shaker elements, I used the fuchsia and light lavender beads.  I topped it off with one of the sentiments that is included in the kit and it says “I like you more than Cupcakes” which I think means a lot!  😉

To assemble these, Queen & Co has several YouTubes, so if you purchase one of these kits or any of the individual elements, I suggest you check out one of these tutorials for ideas and tips.  It seriously took me longer to decide on the cardstock I wanted to use than to die cut and assemble these cards.  Love how simple yet adorable they are.

Polar Bear Holiday!

Holiday greetings!  Well, there are only a few days left to shop, create & wrap…no pressure.  😉

Here is a quick card and tag I made.  This first one I used Close To My Heart Polar Bear Holiday.  This set has sentiments, several adorable polar bear (and a pal) in various poses, and of course these adorable tiny snowflakes.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the polar bear and I used CTMH Lagoon ink for the snowflakes.  Next I colored it in using my ShinHan alcohol markers and added some CTMH frosted bling.  I used CTMH papers and some Queen & Co Washi tape.  Done in about 15 minutes!

Next up this cute penguin gift tag.  I absolutely fell in love with Stamps by Judith.  I discovered her at the Scrapbook Expo in St. Charles, Illinois this past summer and I had to have one of her adorable penguin stamps.

Penguin Stamp by Judith

I colored him in with the ShinHan markers, stamped the background with that irresistible tiny snowflakes stamp and added some Stickles to the snow mound.  I fussy cut out several little Christmas lights (also a Stamp by Judith) and “strung” it together with silver thread, adhering it with glue dots to give the lights dimension.
