Have a cuppa cupcake

Nothing screams birthdays like cupcakes! Today’s post is a sweet birthday card I made featuring some soon to be retiring products like the Have a Cuppa DSP paper stack #140567  and  the Sprinkles of Life #139971 stamp set from Stampin Up.

Warm Wishes

 

 

As far as winters go, this one has been more mild than normal and not sick of the white stuff yet but I would prefer a mild snow free winter.  Cammie made this card for one of her Christmas cards but I think it is perfect for a winter blues pick me up card.

As with most of Cammie’s cards she brayered the background and added the tree scape using the now retired Stampin Up Wonderland stamp set.  For the melting snowman Cammie used the Sprinkles of Life Stamp set #139971 and the coordinating Tree Builder punch #138295 from Stampin Up.  The accents for the snowman came from the retired Snow Days stamp set.

 

 

 

Cute Cupcake birthday

Happy 15th birthday to our sweet niece Meredith!  To celebrate I made a sweet card featuring the Stampin Up Sprinkles of Life #139971 photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Tree Builder Punch #138295.  The cupcake icing features the Cherry on Top DSP #138443 from Stampin Up. For the background, I added various sizes of punched circles and then ran that through the Big Shot using the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #133520 . I mounted the cupcake on a Scalloped Circle #118874 piece and the sentiment was stamped onto a Washi Label #138296 punched piece.

They say it is your birthday

 Lots of fun products from the Stampin Up annual catalog  were used to create this super cute card.  I started with a whisper white background and then stamped confetti using the Sprinkles of Life #139447 stampset.  I added to strips of DSP from the Cherry On Top #138443 and used the Stampin Up Fringe Scissors #133325 and a piece oof Cherry on Top Cotton paper to a fringed strip. I used the Stake Your Claim #139447 stampset and the coordinating Handpicked framelits #137361 to add a sign.  I added a couple more party accents using Washi Tape and by rolling the fringed cotton paper using basic toothpicks

Silver Lining

The Stampin Up Sprinkle of Life #139971 photoplymer stamp set is the main feature for today’s post. This set sprinkles positive thoughts wherever you want and is chock-full of positivity that you’ll want to share with everyone. As an added bonus for each Sprinkles of Life set sold

For the background DSP, I used a piece of the Cherry on Top Designers Series paper stack #138443. I stamped clouds and raindrops on the main panel and punched the cloud using the coordinating Tree Builder Punch #138295. The sentiment is stamped on a scrap piece of pool party cardstock and hand cut into a banner.

 

Spread the Love

 For today’s post, I decided to pull out the adorable Stampin Up Sprinkles of Life #13997Photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Tree Builder punch #138295.I  love the stamp set which Stampin Up Make a Difference stamp set- for every Sprinkles of Life stamp set purchased, Stampin Up will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).

I decided to make a topiary tree by stacking 2 of the trees on top of one another and used the icecream cone modified to make the base. I added the sweet sentiment in an  Bitty Banner #129267 and tied a bakers twine bow to complete this darling card.

Bokeh Sprinkles of Life

 The Bokeh Technique is all the rage right now and Cammie did a nice job with it on both of the cards on today’s post.  “Bokeh” is a photography term for the way a camera lens renders out of focus points of light and is  one of the hottest visual trends in design right now.  And paper crafters have taken a hold of this and termed the process for creating this illusion with ink and paper the “bokeh technique.” The bokeh technique generally is a circle of chaos of various blurred circles.

Cammie created her Bokeh backgrounds and then used the Stampin Up Sprinkles of Life  #139971 photopolymer stamp set to show case the Bokeh effect.  The first card is a layer intensive card using the paper tea lace Doilies #129399 and then Window Framelits (no longer available) and then a circle textured with the Decorative Dots #133520.  The cupcake was stamped using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and then each piece was cut using the coordinating Tree Builder Punch #138295. Cammie added the sentiment on a hand cut banner.

For the second card Cammie used the same color scheme for her Bokeh technique and the same Sprinkles of life stamp and coordinationg Tree Builder Punch to make a muli layered icecream cone.

 

Every Cloud has a silver Lining

 Today’s post features the Stampin Up Sprinkles of Life #139971 photopolymer stampset. The Sprinkles of Life stamp set is this year’s Ronald McDonald charity stamp set.  For every stampset sold Stampin Up will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RHMC keeps families together and surrounded by love when their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.

For the card, Cammie was inspired by the card on page 189 of the Stampin Up. She brayered the sky and then embossed the raindrops in silver.  She also embossed the clouds and then punched them out using the coordinating Tree Builder#138295 punch.  She added the embossed sentiment on a piece of cardstock and then used the Stampin Up Banner Triple #138292 punch to notch the banner end.

Sprinkles of Life

 Today’s post features the all new Stampin Up Sprinkles of Life  stampset #139971 and the coordinating Tree Builder #138295 punch. This combo is by far my favorite in the all new Stampin Up 2015-2016  catalog.  The Sprinkled with Love stamp set is the Ronald McDonald House Charities collaboration with Stampin Up and for every set purchased Stampin Up donates $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
