Here's my card to inspire you to join us in 10 days of celebration!

My card features many products from Newton's Nook Designs.  Newton's Nook is one of our amazing sponsors!  I used the Slimline Frames & Windows and Slimline Frames & Portholes die sets to create all those fun layers.  I then colored those ice-cream lovin' felines from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp set.  (One of these days I need to invest in the coordinating dies!)  I continued the ice cream theme using the bowl of ice cream from the Summer Scoops stamp set.  At last, I stamped the sentiment on a banner from the Banner Trio die set!  A super fun and festive birthday card just right for our 500th celebration.  If you like Newton's Nook Designs products, be sure to head over to the NND blog.  They are having their August preview week and see all the new products and another way to win some store credit!

Happy Birthday

Paper Sweeties is celebrating their 5th Birthday!

I wanted to share my card using their Challenge Inspiration photo!

I used Distress Oxide ink to create the pink and blue background. Then I die cut the happy sentiment using Paper Sweeties Happy Stamp and die set. The birthday present die is from STAMPlorations--Gift Builder #2. The sweet sequins are also from Paper Sweeties.

I simple but fun card for a special little girl!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Sweeties--Happy for You

Here's a card inspired by this month's Paper Sweeties Inspiration #49.

I was inspired by the colors and the wreath.

The Happy sentiment is a fabulous die from Paper Sweeties.

 The beautiful wreath and bow is from Newton's Nooks Designs. 

The "for you" sentiment is from Stamplorations. 

CIC383--Paper Sweeties

Welcome to this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge! 

We are sponsored this week by Paper Sweeties

Paper Sweeties is generously providing a $25 gift certificate to our randomly chosen winner.

Thank you for sponsoring the challenge!

Below is our cupcake photo to inspire you.

For my card, I punched the tree and die cut the tag (MFT). I then stamped the leaves (NND) and added yellow sequins. I then cut the burlap paper and added the crinkle ribbon. Using twine, I tied the tag onto the ribbon. I then stamped the sentiment (Uniko) and added foam tape for dimension. Last I glued on more sequins to tie everything together. 

We would love to have you play along this week!
