Celebrate With Cake

Good morning Rabbit Hole fans, I hope your day is off to a great start! Today I have a shiny birthday card to share with you featuring the elegant birthday cake from the Celebrate With Cake stamp set.

Card Recipe

1) I started off with a white card stock panel and I painted some loose pink watercolor stripes horizontally across the background.

2) I stamped the cake image and heart bows in Versamark embossing ink and then sprinkled both with silver embossing powder. I did the same thing with the "Celebrate" sentiment and then heated them both up until they were dry and shiny.

3) I matted the stamped panel on to a sheet of silver foil card stock and then both panels on to a pink card base.

4) To complete my card and add some extra bling I added pink sparkling jewels around my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Monkey Shaker Tag

Good morning and welcome back to my blog friends!

I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have an adorable

Monkey Shaker Tag to share with you!

I am having so much fun using all of the new sprinkles and sequins

in the shop, there are so many to choose from!

I just love making shaker cards and tags! For my project today

I used the Sunny Studios Love Monkey stamp set and Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tags

to create an adorable tag. I started by cutting

a tag from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tags in black and white

striped paper and a second one in white for the base of the tag.

Next I took one of the smaller heart dies from the Layered Nesting Heart Dies

and die cut a heart shape from the bottom right side of the tag so I could fill

it with my shaker bits. Before I continued with the shaker element I stamped the

word "monkey" in Versafine Clair Glamorous Ink at the bottom of the tag

next to the heart cut out. The next step was to cover the back of the heart shape

up with some Lawn Fawn Acetate and then build up the area around the heart with

some Brutus Monroe foam tape. After I created the well for my shaker bits I filled it

with the red hearts from the Heart Sprinkles mix and some sparkly

3 mm Mirrored Solid Heart Confetti. I just love adding some sparkle to any shaker

card or tag! I added the second tag I cut out in white to the back of my shaker to enclose

all of the shaker bits. The adorable monkey image was stamped in Gina K Amalgam ink

and colored with my Copic markers. After I colored him I die cut him out with the

coordinating Sunny Studios Love Monkey dies.

I popped him up on some more Brutus Monroe foam tape for some dimension.

For the sentiment I used Brutus Monroe Alabaster embossing powder to

heat emboss the sentiment from the Sunny Studios Love Monkey stamp set

on to some black card stock and pop it up on an angle at the top of the tag.

The finished touch was to thread some red and white bakers twine through

the hole in the top of the tag.

I just love how this cute tag came out and I love shaking it even more!

Here is a another pic with a few of the Kat Scrappiness supplies used on my tag.

I hope you'll give shaker tags a try! They are so much fun to make and even more

fun to shake! You will feel like a chef in the kitchen picking out the perfect mix

of shaker bits to fill your card or tag!

product links to go to the store. Make sure you use my code "LISA10" at

Cup of Sunshine

Welcome back to my blog and thanks for stopping by!

I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today with

your daily dose of caffeine in the Intensive Coffee Unit!

Today I have a card to share with you that I am just in love with!

It features the cutest coffee cup die with an inlaid design that just makes me smile.

This coffee cup die is from Paper Smooches and is called Cuppa Sunshine.

It has the happiest little scene on it featuring an adorable cloud and sun!

I first saw this die from Paper Smooches right here on this blog and

immediately fell in love with it! The sentiment is from a matching stamp set

called Sunnyville and it has great sentiments and more adorable images to go with the theme.

I wanted to do some ink blending on the background so I used

the largest die from the Waffle Flower Lacy Layers die set to cut out a piece of

Bristol Smooth card stock. Next I took my Taylored Expressions

Feathered stencil and did some ink blending with 3 different colors of Distress inks.

I used Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw. I just love how those

colors look together. I think it really compliments the colors in the cup.

I placed my coffee cup and sentiment on to a piece of vellum that was also cut

from the Waffle Flower Lacy Layers dies to

soften the background a little bit and make the cup stand out.

I also stamped some cloud images in light pink from the Sunnyville stamp set on the

base of the card for a little extra added interest.

For some sweet finishing touches I added 3

Kat Scrappiness Pink Heart Sprinkles around the sentiment.

Thanks so much for joining me today in my ICU,

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some more caffeinated inspiration for you!

Have a great day, I already am!

Paper Sweeties May 2019 New Release Rewind!

Welcome to the Release Rewind for Paper Sweeties!

I hope you've enjoyed all of the inspiration these past few days

from the talented design team!

We've been sharing our projects using the two

newly released stamp sets:

Truck Add-on: Life is an adventure with matching dies

Truck Add-on: Life is an adventure Sweet Cuts

and

Basket Add-on: Thinking of You with matching dies

Basket Add-on: Thinking of You Sweet Cuts.

For the last day of the New Release I've created 3 cards.

The first card uses the Basket Add-on: Thinking of You stamp set

with matching dies Basket Add-on: Thinking of You Sweet Cuts.

On this card I decided to use the previously released

Basket stamp with matching die to place

my beautiful flowers in.

I colored my beautiful bouquet with my Copic Markers

and I used the matching die to cut them out.

The small sign in the basket is from the Thinking of You stamp

set. I stamped the word friend on it and then

cut it out from patterned paper.

I splattered black ink lightly on the base of my card

and layered my pretty basket over it.

Last month Paper Sweeties released the Hello stamp set and matching die.

The Hello word was the perfect addition to this card.

💖 ON TO THE CAMPER 💖

For my next 3 cards I decided to have some fun and "Glamp" up the

adorable camper from the

Truck Add-on: Life is an adventure.

There are so many cute ways to customize the camper using the

matching dies in the Truck Add-on: Life is an adventure Sweet Cuts

The first thing to do was to pick out some of the prettiest patterned paper

I could find and cut out the camper and matching accessories in every pattern.

The next step was to layer the window and door on to the camper

in many different combinations. Since I wanted to "GLAM" up the camper

I took some glittered card stock and die cut the banner in 2 different

colors and layered them over each other diagonally.

The wheels obviously needed glitter as well.......right?

Any excuse to use glitter paper, I'll take it.

I added the sweet little Home Sweet Home die to

all the doors on the camper and my sweet camper cards were complete!

I really enjoyed playing with this super cute camper and all of the

darling accessories. I especially love the hearts on the sides of the window!

Here are those 3 cards individually:

Make sure you pick up this super cute stamp and die set, you're going to love dressing

up this adorable camper with paper and bling!

Thanks for spending some time enjoying all of the

new release fun from Paper Sweeties!
