Celebrate Cupcake

Here is a card I just made for My Pink Stampers Birthday Challenge. It was so fun!!! I had made something similar before but I did a few things different and love the way it turned out. 



This is a solid pink card, I used Prima flowers with White Brads and the Cupcake and Sentiment were a pack together that I got in the dollar bins at Craft Warehouse. The blue paper was some from the dollar tree. I cut out the Cupcake and put it on a pop-dot.

Baby Shower Invitations

Hey There!!! I have been busy making lots of things. We had been waiting to see what my aunt was having, so while we waited I made her baby shower invitations for a BOY and a GIRL. It was fun!! 

So just went in on Thursday and found out that ITS A GIRL!!!! YAY!!! She really likes turtles, so I am making new invitations exactly like the boy one but with a pink turtle. She didn't really like the flower. 

This is the front of the Boy Invitations...
 This would be the inside...
 Front of the Girl Invitations...
 Inside of the Girl Invitation...

I am really liking how these turned out. I used Kraft Cardstock for the base of the card. Coredinations Cardstock in Frappuccino and Fern for the inside and front. The Onsie is welded together using Esmerelda {gypsy}, and cut at 5". The turtle on the front is from Create A Critter and cut at 2.40 on my gypsy.

High Heel Birthday

I just made this card for one of my friends. I really like how it turned out. This is the first time I am using the Paisley Cartridge. I got it at Michaels for $9.99, and I'm so glad I got it. 



All of the paper is just scraps out of my stash and the stamp is from the dollar bins at JoAnn. I also used my wonderful White Jelly Pen and the Clear Glitter Pen around the middle of the flower.

*Birthday Cards*

These are 2 Birthday Card that I made today. I used my brand new Once Upon A Princess cartridge. I am so excited for this cart. Now I am just waiting for the princess faces to go along with it. 



I used Swiss Dots and D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folders on both of these cards. I also used white satin ribbon from Stampin Up. I got the buttons from the dollar section at Michaels. I also used some twine on the buttons.   The punch is from EK Success that cut out the Happy Birthday, which is a stamp also from the dollar bins.

Etsy

I just thought I would let everyone know that I made an Etsy account. There is one card up there right now but will be more tomorrow. I know most of you are very crafty yourself and can make your own cards but I have heard that there are a few out there who come to blogs to look. This is for them to be able to purchase handmade items if they choose. 


Here is my store on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyAsh
