Amazing Life

Say Yes to Cake!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

I thought this was perfect to pull out the Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper to create this –

I just love this!! It’s so bright and cheery!

I just so happen to have this scrap of the striped pattern in the package and lots of scraps with these cupcakes and cake pieces. Well, the cakes were not whole to cut out and a cupcake is just an individual cake, right?

I fussy cut a few out and figured out the placement.

This sentiment from Amazing Life had cake written all over it! I had to use it!

I placed everything on my card base and I thought it need something else. Embossing folders usually do the trick, especially this Polka Dot one!

That’s just what I needed to call this done!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

I always get inspired when I create using these challenges! I knew I wanted to use the Amazing Life stamp set! One of the sentiments is perfect for the oval focal point –

Wouldn’t you agree?

Heres how I made this quick and easy card –

Lemon Lime Twist card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2
DSP 3 7/8 x 5 3/8
DSP strip is cut about an inch using the pattern as a guide, I wanted the black to be along the 4 edges
Lemon Lime Twist strip between 1/16 and 1/4, not quite 1/4 by 4 1/4
stamp sentiment on Whisper White scrap (here, I used the Stamparatus. I got heavy on the pressing down so it created a slightly darker area in the image, always press down evenly!)
framelit cut using 2nd to largest oval
color in letters with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write Marker
adhere DSP, DSP strip, Lemon Lime strip and oval to card front
done!

Please let me know if you have any questions! I love answering your comments and emails.

Happy Wednesday!

This past Monday night we had our Team Christmas party!

We ate, we socialized, we laughed, we exchanged gifts, we played an adorable left / right game and we made a couple of cards using new products!

Both cards are cute and might end up on my Card Buffet!

This one uses the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper –

The strip on the left side, the outside butterfly and an inside butterfly all come from the Designer Series Paper! A coordinating punch was used for both of the butterflies! So you can get LOTS from this paper!

I’m glad we did this card. I haven’t played with this paper much. It is very versatile!

The sentiment was stamped without the use of the Stamparatus! Can you believe it?? The image turned out quite well! I really like this card, simple and easy to recreate!

The other card we made was a Valentine card –

Lots of layers here. This card uses the Meant to Be Bundle. The stamp set is the Meant to Be with the coordinating framelits, the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. If you haven’t seen these, just look at how many you get! OMG! Awesome. Don’t over look these beauties!

I really liked both these cards! My upline provided both card designs. Not sure who she cased them from.
