Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the NEW IN COLORS!!  FLIRTY FLAMINGO is this week's color which is quickly becoming a favorite! I used the new BIGGEST BIRTHDAY EVER Bundle for my card and I have to tell you.....this bundle is TOO.MUCH.FUN! There are endless possibilities for the slice of cake and all the accessories! To showcase FLIRTY FLAMINGO, I kept the colors simple by adding just black and white.  The strips of designer paper along the sides are from the POP OF PINK Specialty DSP .  The stripes add a nice bold touch to the card and makes the pink stand out even more!  The cake itself is all FLIRTY FLAMINGO.  The cute polka dot layers are stamped after the cake was added to the card.  It was easy peasy to line up since the stamps are photopolymer!   The one thing this set doesn't have it sentiments.  So, I used a nice bold greeting from CONFETTI CELEBRATION . It gave the celebratory look I was going for.  Afte...

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the NEW IN COLORS!!  PEEKABOO PEACH is the first color up and one of my favorites! This new stamp set and coordinating framelits was a must have for my first order.... SWEET CUPCAKE and CUPCAKE CUTOUTS .  I knew that this awesome cupcake would look amazing in PEEKABOO PEACH!  This cupcake is a layering process of three stamps to give lots of dimension and shading.  This time I used SOFT SUEDE and TIP TOP TAUPE for the cupcake wrapper and all PEEKABOO PEACH for the icing.  It's just a matter of stamping off and layering to get this beautiful effect. Everything, yes absolutely everything, on this card is NEW!  I pointed out a few things for you in the picture.  The die cuts are all from CUPCAKE CUTOUTS .  The swirly die along the top and bottom of the card is a favorite and will be used for more than just birthday cards!  I also added in COPPER THREAD which coordinates beautifully wit...

Isn't this so much fun!!  I used a NEW designer paper, a NEW stamp set and a NEW punch! I started out with the idea to use a favorite new color combination of WATERMELON WONDER and DAPPER DENIM.  Since this card is all about celebrating, I added in a fun paper design from the new POP OF PINK Specialty Designer Series Paper. I created a fun extended greeting by combining die cut negatives from the PARTY POP UP thinlits and sentiments from CON...
