A Cupcake Birthday and BLOG CANDY!



Today is the second day of Preview Week for the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection 2014!  And I am super excited because it's my turn to offer BLOG CANDY!!  First, let me show you my card for today.  And yes...it's another birthday card!



Isn't this just too cute!!  Do you recognize this card at all?  Well, I used a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge card that I made two weeks ago as my inspiration.  I just loved the banners so much from that card and thought they would be even cuter with this little cupcake.

I changed up the colors and stamps but kept the design the same.




The first part of the design was the cupcake and sentiment.  I stamped the cupcake pieces and punched them out to adhere to the card.  The sentiment was stamped next to it on the Whisper White.



With the bottom of the card in place, the banners were easier to arrange.  I alternated my colors, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, and Strawberry Slush.  Each is added with a dimensional to make the banner stand out.  The next step was to stamp and punch out stars from Something to Say.  The stars join the banner together nicely.  And the final touch, a rhinestone to connect the stars.  Once the banner was complete, I stamped "party, party, party" with Coastal Cabana next to it.




And that's it!  Another fun banner birthday card featuring Cupcake Party!!




Now....how about more about the BLOG CANDY!  Just leave me a comment on this post and you will be in the drawing for a FREE SUBSCRIPTION to the Summer Collection 2014!!  To find out more information about the collection and more opportunities to win BLOG CANDY, just go to Create with Connie and Mary.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...
