Happy Birthday Cupcake

Here is another Birthday Card.  I just received my kit from Stampin' Up and was excited to see that there are coordinating stamps and punches, so I decided to try my hand at that.  I used the Create a Cupcake punch and stamp set to create the little cupcake in the corner.  Stay tuned as I begin on this exciting journey with Stampin' Up!

Happy Birthday Card - Celebrations Cart.

I was trying to come up with an idea for a different card for my sister-in-law's birthday and thought of this.  I used the Celebrations Cartridge, embossed the paper with the Cuttlebug Swirls, the paper if from DCWV (Linen), the ribbon is from Michaels.  I love the colors.  

Halloween Card - Stampin Up

I made this card for my Blog Hop Winner.  I had some older Stampin' Up stamps that had this cute little witch, so I decided to finally try out my copic markers.  I really need to learn how to use these markers, the colors are awesome.  The ribbon is from Michaels, I loved the colors!  I hope you enjoyed the card.

Here is my the card I created for the hop....

I used the cricut cartridge Happy Hauntings.  I cut the imagae at 3 1/2 and used scrap paper I had on hand to make the cuts.  I found this glitter paper at Michaels.  I'm having so much fun doing these hops, its making me think outside my comfort zone.
