Couple of cupcake birthday cards

I made a couple of birthday cards yesterday, one for my aunt and a second for my card stash - very similar using the same paper but different - how's that for a description!!  :-)

I used Doodlecharms for the cupcake, its been awhile since I used that cart so it was fun to have it out again though I don't really like how the layers are on it, so I did it the way I wanted to and used the hide contour feature on my Gypsy so I didn't have to cut a bunch of unnecessary pieces and waste paper!  All the paper except the card bases and light purple solid card stock (they are from DCWV) is from Cosmo Cricket 'DeLovely' stack.  The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts 'Birthday Messages' set.  I used my i rock to put the sprinkles on the cupcakes and my Fiskars Corner Rounder punch on the second card.

I'm entering these into the Cakes and Cupcakes Birthday cards challenge this week at the Birthday Sundaes blog. 

I'm also entering them into the Made it Myself Mondays weekly linking party at You Had Me At Craft.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Happy Anniversary!

I made this card for my sister's anniversary next month using Cosmo Cricket stack 'Material Girl' and Gypsy Wanderings Cricut cart - I told you I was hooked on that cart!!  :)  I used the tag feature and welded two together to make the base and placed the heart inside using SU Dimensionals so it would show through the window and stand out when the card was opened!  I used embossing powder and my heat gun to give the sentiment stamp (My Pink Stamper 'Happiest Moments') some dimension.

Thanks for looking!

Hope card

My aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is going through treatment now.  :(   I made this card for her, to give her a little encouragement and to let her know that I will be walking in the Race for the Cure walk in her honor - she will be out of town at her son's wedding and since I can't go, I am doing the next best thing and representing our family at the walk to raise money to find a cure for this devastating disease!

I used my new Cosmo Cricket stacks, the colors are so pretty - this stack was 'Delovely' and had the perfect shades of pink that I was looking for!  All of the cuts on this card are from Gypsy Wanderings Cricut cart, including the base which I welded together using my Gypsy.  I only attached the body of the butterfly to give it some dimension and make it look like its flying!  The twine is from The Twinery.
