Magical Birthday - FMS324

Howdy All!
I am sharing with you today a quick card I made for Freshly Made Sketch #324.

Here is my card:

I used an aqua painter and my ink pads to color in this sweet little mermaid.

Can you see all of the yummy glitter goodness I added with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! I love that thing to add a bit of sparkle to an image that I have colored!

And Here is the sketch:

STAMPS:  Birthday Cake (single stamp set), Positively Chevron (background stamp)

PAPER:  Night of Navy, Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Very Vanilla, Soho Subway designer series paper

I used the New Simply Pressed Clay and Button mold. It worked great! I used my markers to color my Birthday Cake stamp. I am pleased with my end result! This card is going to my dad for his birthday next week!

Murder in Sin City - Sweet 16 Party Treat Table

Howdy All!
 I spent this last week helping my girlfriend, Michelle, with a treat table that she had been asked to create. A friend of hers has a daughter who is turning 16 and wanted to have a Murder in Sin City Party. Now, I have never heard of such a thing, but apparently they are quite popular and basically we created a Casino themed table. Michelle is quite talented when it comes to baking and treat making, so she asked me to help with the papercrafting part of the table. I had lots of fun with it and here are some pics to show you what we came up with!

We are very pleased with how it turned out! Michelle was worried about her dice cake pops, but I think they turned out great! And I love how my banner came out!

We did the set up yesterday afternoon and Savannah was super pleased with everything! Yay for us!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Cupcake Throne Class

Howdy All!

I've got a fun project for you today! A couple of weeks ago I held a class at my house and we made these cute cupcake holders with matching cards. One of my girlfriends asked me to do this class as she saw them on Pinterest and didn't know how to make them. I did find one tutorial online but I didn't like it because you needed to use an 8&1/2" x 11" and a 12" x 12' pieces of cardstock. So I came up with my own template using just 1 sheet of 8&1/2' x 11" cardstock.

So, Here is a copy of my template and also some photos of the process to assemble the box.
Using my Simply Scored tool made prepping for my class quick and easy!

I hope these pics are useful for anyone who may want to try making one of these cute cupcake thrones for a friend or loved one! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment.

Fire Truck Birthday Invites

 Howdy All!
So, my grandson's 1st Birthday is coming up at the end of the month and my son and daughter-in-law are throwing him a big party. We will be flying out to PA of course! I wouldn't miss this party for anything! Anyway, my daughter-in-law asked me if I would like to make the invites and I said 'yes' without hesitation.

I printed all of the wording on my pc and then stamped the fire trucks and colored them in. I drew in some balloon strings and then punched circles out of cardstock to create the balloons. I made 65 invitations and I just love how they turned out!

Now I am working on some matching tags to go on the goodie bags. I will post pics when I get them done!

Well, that's all for now.
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by! Hope to see you again soon!

March Scrapbook Club Pages 3 & 4

 Howdy All!
Tonight I have the 3rd and 4th pages from my March Scrapbook Club! Most of the ladies that attend my classes have kids so I am trying to create pages that are suitable for kids.

 I love how these turned out using this bright color combo of Old Olive, Real Red, Pacific Point, So Saffron and Whisper White.

I was so sad when Stampin' Up! retired the Big Bold Cupcakes sizzlits dies last year. They really are great for scrapbook embellishments! I also used some embossing folders with them to give them some texture as well as the candles. I even added a couple of the frames from the Peekaboo Frames Bigz Die. They create cute little spaces to add dates, journaling or even a small photo!

Well, that's it for now! Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by and I hope to see you again soon!
