And the matching b-day card to the coffee gift box...

I made a couple thank you cards today (which I'll post later when I get a chance to take some pics of them), but I wanted to first share with you the matching birthday card that goes with the little coffee gift box I made for a friend of mine, which you can see here.

I used these adorable cupcake and circle word printable stamps from Regina's All About Cupcakes set (it's a HUGE set of all sorts of yummy goods). You really should check out this set over at The Cutting Café, as you will see all the really really cute, pretty and adorable creations from Regina and the design team who will give you all sorts of inspiration!

So of course to make it matching to the coffee gift box I made, I used the same papers and ribbon:




What's great about Regina's printable stamps is you can just print them right on some decorative paper and cut them out! I popped up the frosting a little on mine...


I love this cupcake circle word:


And I used on the inside a very appropriate stamp by Rubber Soul:


Cupcake Mix:
-CS: Bazzill Basics "Mudpie"
-PPs: My Mind's Eye Bohemia Blossom "Angel" Small Damask, K&Company's Scrap To Go "K-Ology Peabody" and Anna Griffin Ivory Floral
-Stamps: Regina's The Cutting Café "All About Cupcakes" and Rubber Soul "Delicious Birthday"
-Fluid Chalk Inks: Colorbox "Dune", "Merlot" and "Dark Moss"
-Misc: Adhesive, Chipboard, Satin ribbon

TFL!!!

Coffee and friends are the perfect blend

Here's something from the latest so cute box set that Regina has designed...you can go to her store The Cutting Café and see some really cute ideas of what can be done with this box set. It's from her Cupcake Holder set, which I do plan on making another one for cupcakes, but being a huge coffee fan and a friend's b-day coming up, I thought this would be a cute gift. Plus I wanted to think outside of the box. ;p

I used one of my favorite coffee stamp set from Inkadinkadoo and the ink I used is called Coffee Bean (how appropriate, huh?!?!)









The fonts on the tags are not stamps, I used Juice ITC and a doodlebat from DB Fancy Fringe. Also, don't you just love the pebble brads?!?!:

Turning 21 years old 10 times...

A friend of mine just recently celebrated her 21st birthday for the 10th time...I guess 10th time's a charm! Well, she's one very fashionable chicie so I thought that using one of the awesome Stampendous Scrumptious Shoes would be perfect for her...and it was! Actually I used two shoes! The Sundae Shoe and the "Happy Birthday" from the Birthday Cake Shoe.



I used the Prismacolor pencils & gamsol technique (still practicing on that):


Then I used some Liquid Applique for the "whipped cream" down the shoe (kind of hard to see in the pic):


A little bit of sewing...


I stamped the SU! Celebrate You! stamp once on the pink card stock and once again on white card stock, cut out the cake part and mounted it with a layer of chipboard to give a little dimension:


And viola!...a matching envie:

-CS: MM "Poppy" and TPC "Pastel Pink"
-DPs: Sandylion/Kelly Panacci "One of a Kind - Pink" and "Floral-Crochet-Cream"

Someone I know is turning 50 today and my card to him will be a day late, he's a guy, he won't care... So I'm over at Enfys Cashmore's blog and as always get so much inspiration from her but this time she introduced us to the coolest stamp Max from Sparkle N Sprinkle. Well this stamp is the most perfect stamp for the today's b-day boy, as he love martini's. Plus my fiance's dad loves them too, so I know I'll be using this stamp again.

Another talented lady, DeeDee (who is on this design team) let us know that it was Regina's b-day so we all made her cards and here's my card to her...



Very cool stamps by Inque Boutique:


And a cute stamp by Inkadinkado, this is a quote from an 8 year old boy, Liam Holland (I actually bought this stamp for my dad as he LOVES frosting but I didn't come across it until after his b-day, so for next year's card...). Also I only used half the stamp:

Here's the full stamp:




The balloons are also from the same stamp set "Birthday Fun" by Inque Boutique:
