{ It's Your Day }

Just playing around with some new dollar stamps I got from Michael's. I like the designs of the acrylic dollar stamps much better than the rubber ones. Plus you get 5 stamps for a dollar! I had fun making the bright cheery birthday card. All the coloring was done with a blender pen and water color crayons. I used Stazon ink so it wouldn't bleed with the watercoloring. The dots around the punched circle were done with a Basic Black Write Marker. This card is pretty straight forward, a simple one layer card. Hope you like!

Stamps: Michael's Acrylic Dollar Stamps

Ink: Stazon Jet Black

Paper: Misc Off White Confetti

I finished another card for the night, actually, I guess you could say for the morning now. This one was very simple. I heat embossed the crab and masked him off to stamp the birthday hat which I also heat embossed. I then colored him in and punched him out. The background is done in So Saffron, which I stamped off first so the color would be very subtle. I sponged the edges of the crab punch and the edges of the card base. I also used pastels on the edge of the card base. So pretty straight forward. Enjoy!

Well I finally got around to doing some more stamping yesterday! I was at AC Moore yesterday and they clearanced most all their punches so I picked up all the punches that I have been wanting for a while. I also got this cute paper, I love how it matches SU's colors and images, so I just had to have it!

I wanted to use a big cupcake image, but I didn't have one, so I had to improvise. The base of the cupcake is half of SU's round tab punch. The icing is liquid applique with just a touch of glitter. I cut the candle out of scratch paper and used cord for the wick. The cupcake itself is popped up on the layers scalloped punches which are also popped up off the designer paper. The ribbon, cord and fibers kind of blend in on the picture, but IRL they don't. The So Saffron punched out circles that say "Sweet, Yummy & Wishes" are all popped up with pop dots over cupcake paper. For a final touch I added about 6 rhinestones in multiple different places. Doesn't it make you want to eat a cupcake?
