The More the Merrier Birthday card

 I love Cupcakes on a birthday card. 

My card features many new In Color, Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry card stock, an Bermuda Bay polka-dot ribbon. 

The new hostess stamp set The More the Merrier has these cupcakes, 5 in a row. 

The cupcake with a heart on it inspired me to create this adorable cupcake out of punches and paper. 

The base is a 1 3/4" square that has been crimped and sides tapered. The frosting top is created using the Wide Oval Punch and the Small Oval Punch. You punch out one Wide Oval, then 3 small divets from the bottom using the Small Oval Punch. Round and rough edge. Finish the cupcake off with the medium heart cut from the Heart to Heart Punch.

Party Hearty

 Here is a simple birthday card made from Party Hearty stamp set.  I used yesterday's card for inpiration to whip up this quick card to wish my sister's fiance, a Happy Birthday!

 

One of the nice things about Stampin' Up! stamps is the ability to mount the stamps how you prefer to use them. I mounted the 5 hats, each one separately instead of keeping them in a row. This allows me to stamp each in a different color. The party hats are stamped in the following colors Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Summer Sun, Riding Hood Red and Tangerine Tango. 

I will miss the In Colors when they are no longer available. 

Don't miss out  on getting these beautiful In Colors, order them by June 30.

Bella Rose Paper Holder with Cork Buttefly

 

Happy Birthday Anna!

When trying to think of what to make for Anna's Birthday gift, I decided to look through the Stampin' Up! Spring & Summer 2009 idea book & catalog. 

On page 196 I saw this adorable paper holder and decided to recreate it.

I used the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies bigz die to cut the butterfly out of corkboard. 

Yes the dies cut through it just fine.

The box is created from left over cardboard and Bella Rose Designer Series Paper.

Pink Flamingo Framed Art

Happy Birthday Fairle!

Fairle was one of the Birthday girls on Saturday. 

Earlier in the week, I had asked her what she wanted for her birthday. 

She told me all she wanted was something/ some kind of art made with Pink Flamingo  Designer Series Paper.

 

This is what I came up with. 

I used markers to ink up these words from the All Holiday stamp set. 

I cut and layered the different pieces. 

Then using the 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and new grommets I completed my gift.

Birthday Celebration Shoe Box Swap

Today several of my friends and I gathered to celebrate birthdays. We played a game called Left, Right, Center. What a fun game. Thanks Faith for sharing it. 

We had a great lunch and dessert.

One of the best parts of our celebration is our shoe box swap. A shoe box swap is when each person brings a project with everything all ready for everyone to make.

This was my project. 

It features an adorable stamp set, Cheap Talk, along with Kind Thanks. 

My club members will recognize this as one of our March projects.

Lorrie used the Bag with Scallops Bigz xl and Flower Blossom sizzlits dies to create this cute candy bag. 

In Debbie's project we used the Kind Thoughts Flourish Decor Stencil found on page 23 of the Decor Element brochure. 

 Stencils don't have to be just for walls. You can use them to decorate cards, table cloths, photo albums and more.

This one is Anna's. We used the 

Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper, Oval All stamp set, Grommet hardware and Scallop Oval Punch featured in the Occasion mini catalog.

We even stamped the inside of the card with the Great Friend stamp set.

 LOvE it! What great projects

Party Hearty

Here's a great Birthday card for teenagers or even a male card. Some of you might recognize it from my Birthday Stamp-A-Stack last month.  A Stamp-A-Stack is a great way to make a lot of cards at a reasonable price. Contact me at ginadygert@yahoo.com to register for my next Stamp-A-Stack.

A real simple but great card.

Large Cupcake Card

What a  YUMMY Card. This large cupcake looks good enough to eat. 

I stamped the Simple Birthday Thanks stamp on both Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip card stock. 

Cut around the line. 

Textured the bottom of the cupcake using my paper crimper. 

For this sparkling cherry, I first colored in the cherry with the Real Red Stampin' Write marker, then covered it with Two Way glue and the red glitter from the Fine Galaxy Stampin' Glitter.

 I attached it to my card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Happy Birthday Mom

Here is a beautiful Spring card.

This card is on its way to my mother. It is her Birthday today. Her favorite color is purple, so I used Pale Plum and Perfect Plum card stock.

The tulip bulb is created with the wide oval and oval punches.

You could substitute Happy Easter instead of Happy Birthday.

I want to thank Marcia for inspiring me.
