2nd Birthday Cupcake

Good Morning Cyber Friends,
Today's card is the one I made for my only granddaughter, so I HAD to do it in pinks.....its my one chance to do girly!  I decided back in Florida some of the details and punched out a Martha Stewart butterflies edge punch from glossy white paper.  Also decided that I wanted to make an easel card.  Then a friend from my online stamping group was showing us how to use peel off stickers on sticker paper and she had an extra sheet of cupcakes......perfect.  Brought all of it here and this is the result.

Card closed

Found some cute pink flowered paper at Michael's and layered it onto pink card stock, then used a corner rounder punch.  Inked the edges of both papers.   The "happy birthday" is from a different sticker pack which is placed on a strip of pink with inked edges.  Two small punched butterflies with little jewels for bodies were added.

Above is the Happy Birthday sticker from Stampendous called Class A' Peel.

Glittery Cupcake CloseUp

The best part of any birthday party is the cake, right?  This one is yummy looking with all of its glittery goodness.  The black outline sticker was put onto 2-1/2 inch double sided Terr-ific Tape from Sparkle N Sprinkle (SNS).  Next, pour on the Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter, rub it in and shake off the excess.  Now use your Copic markers to color it in over the glitter.  SNS has a tutorial on its website showing how to do this Velvet Glitter technique here.  This cupcake only had one candle, but my granddaughter was two, so I added another from the sticker page before glittering.  When done coloring, remove the other protective layer from the tape and apply to some heavier weight paper; then cut around edges.  I used another one of those action wobble springs to attach the cupcake to the front of the card (see my  last post for the Car Card).  Isn't it shiny??

This is the cupcake sticker from Elisabeth Craft.  The "white" one is what was left after I removed the actual sticker.  You can see one candle sticker on the lower right that I also used.  There are 4 more cupcakes here to use, plus another one that is missing (I have glittered it and it is ready to use), so you get 6 cupcakes on one sheet.  Can you see that there are some smaller stickers that can be used as well?

Easel Card Open

Here is the card open.  The butterfly was used to hold the card open. A Sakura glaze pen was used to write the sentiment on the banner, and the area that cannot be seen here is for signing.  

Popped Up Butterfly

Here is a close up of the butterfly.  The punched out butterfly was glued onto a piece of acetate, cut out and then glitter was added with glue.
I was really happy with how it turned out and since she is only two, she will probably just love the wiggly cupcake, but her mom saves all of my cards, so maybe one day she will look at it and think of me!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:
Catered Crop - Punches and dies
Hobby Cutz - Challenge 9 - anything with H (Happy Birthday)
ABC Challenge - P for Pretty In Pink
ALBC - Something Sweet (cupcake)
Animal Friends - Butterfly or Bugs (butterflies)

Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you so much for spending some time with me.

My Grandson Loves Cars -- Here's a CAS Card

My grandson has loved cars since ....forever!  Well he just turned 5, but he has played with hot wheels since he could pick one up.  And Disney's "Cars"!!!!  Well, he LOVES it.  I have done the Disney thing, so this year it had to have a little 'different' take on the same old theme.  LOL  And since he now lives in Canada it takes forever for mail to get there, so I also am going 'different' for me with more of a CAS card.  Oh boy!

So what to do with a car?  I had heard about a "wobbly" thing that makes an item jiggle around.  And I have a friend who tried making one (and she said it took way to long to get it right).  Well I found the thing at a chain store here in Illinois called Archivers.

They come in a pack of 6 and it has a plastic concentric circle that has sticker paper attached on both sides.  Very easy to use.  For my purposes, I has to cut down the stickers because my image was small.

I had purchased a clear stamp set at Michael's just for this occasion (sorry I do not remember who the set is by, but when I get back to Florida I can let you know if you would like to email me).  The set comes with the checkerboard and all that you see here.   I stamped the car two times and fussy cut one of the images to pop up and wobble.  For the fire, I used a marker to ink that part of the image.   And that's it!  Clean and simple, right?  Oh yeah, the wobble.  All I had to do was cut the adhesive area smaller to fit the car and there you have it.

Above is a close-up of the car.  I hope my sweetie-pie grandson likes it as much as I do.
Happy Birthday!
