Happy B-day to a great sister-in-law

Here's a birthday card that I made for my amazing sister-in-law. I had the hardest time getting pictures to show the true colors of the papers and everything. The picture with the envie is the closest I could get.

Anyway, here's the cover:


I love this cupcake from a Hero Arts Clear Design Cupcakes set (which the sentiment above is from) and I just love stickles which I covered the wood flower from Kaiser:


The paper I used is double-sided which is so great when making cards to have such a pretty background on the outside and inside:


This sentiment is part of a stamp from one Stampendous' Scrumptious Shoes (I LOVE those stamps):


And here's the envie:


Cupcake mixture:
-CS: The Paper Co "Antique Rose" and Bazzill Basics "Tutu Pink"
-PP: K&Company "Classic K Mango Paper Pad"
-Stamps: Hero Arts Clear Design Cupcakes and Stampendous' Scrumptious Shoes "Birthday Cake" (just the sentiment)

Blossoms and Blooms

This past weeks Bitten By the Bug challenge was to use the word spring from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. You should go over and see all the very cute and pretty things the other design team members did.

For my project I used this really cool item from The Cutting Café. Regina really knows how to make some great boxes and card holders. This one is her Greeting Card Holder which can hold 4 quarter fold cards with envies (2 on each side). It can also be used for other things like in my case I used it as a seed packet holder.





And when you open it up you find the seed packets or cards or whatever you feel like putting in it:


This is the cut from Stretch Your Imagination:
