Birthday Sundaes #37

It's time for another Birthday Sundaes challenge! We have an easy challenge for you. It is an anything goes birthday card!

This is our last challenge for this year, but we will be back in January:)  Please stop by and check out the DT's creations and enter your card here.

The prize this week is a the "Another Year" stamp set from our sponsor Tradefish Designs.  

For my card I used Once Upon a Princess for the unicorn.  The card base shape is from Lacy Labels.  The original shape was a little too thin, so I stretched it out with my Gypsy and then copied and welded it to create the base. 

I have a birthday party coming up and I thought, what's better than a girly unicorn for a little girl?

I masked a PKS face to give my unicorn an eye.

I popped her up with pop dots, added some twine, stitching, and my new favorite: liquid pearls:) 

Thank you for visiting and I can't wait to see what you create!

Guest Designer: My Sheri Crafts

Thanks to my Disney card, I was selected as the guest designer over at My Sheri Crafts!!  The challenge this week is to make a project that incorporates sewing (real or faux).

Thank you Sheri for this opportunity!

My card has a little fashionista on it, she is creating a fabulous new outfit to wear!

I've always wanted to learn how to sew.  I will live vicariously through my crafts :)

This sentiment from My Creative Time was perfect for this card.

I added stitching all around, even on the sewing machine! I really love adding stitching to a card.  It adds so much to it!

Birthday Sundaes Blog Hop and Giveaway!

If not, make sure you don't miss the fun starting at Birthday Sundaes.  You will be able to enter to win blog candy by posting on everyone's blog.  I will also be giving away something special here so please keep reading :) 

This blog hop is all about cakes and cupcakes! My inspiration for this card came from a project a did a couple of weeks ago.  I had just received Sweet Tooth Boxes and Flower Shop.  Two carts I was really excited about! I knew I wanted to make a rose and a cake box.  So I got to work right away and here is the result:

This rose took me a while to figure out how to make.  It started out as white cardstock.  I love how it turned out!  It looks way better in person but you can see the details pretty well here. 

Here is another view of this little rose.

So when it came time to make my cake/cupcake birthday card I thought about how this cake would look like if it was whole.  I instantly reached for Once Upon a Princess because I remembered that it has a beautiful cake and it used similar colors.  Here is my card:

I added some rhinestones, stitching, and twine for extra detail. 

I heat embossed the sentiment and then ran it through my Big Shot using the Polka Dot folder. I then added some pop dots to the cake to give it some dimension.

I was very happy with the final result!

WALL-E Birthday

I could not sleep, usually happens when I'm on vacation, so I made good use of it and got started on my next card...I got a bit carried away and just kept working until I finished.

A long time ago I saw a really cool card base created on My Creative Time by Emma Aguilar.  Here is her video.  Take a look,  I got lots of good ideas from it.  

I had been dying to make a card base like hers.  As you can see, it worked!  It was lots of work though because my Gypsy is not cutting right so I had to do extra trimming to fix it.  

For the longest time I had wanted to use this WALL-E image, but couldn't think of what to do with him.  Well...my stamp set from Pink By Design arrived and on it I saw this sentiment that said "Today, i eat cake" It was perfect!  

The idea was that since WALL-E is a robot, he doesn't get to eat anything tasty like this.  But today he is getting his chance:) Yay for him! I can almost imagine his little robot voice saying "yum, yum."

I'm entering this card into the Birthday Sundaes challenge #16.  Hope you guys like it!

So here is WALL-E enjoying his cake.  

I love how it looks like he is thinking the sentiment! Totally not on purpose, but it works!

He longingly looks at his cake here...

I popped him up with pop dots.  You can see that a bit better at this angle. 

Sorry if I'm rambling...I am a bit sleepy now.
