Hi Everyone!
I love Mondays!
Mondays are the one day of the week that are mine. I have the house to myself, I can do what I want (within reason), and I usually have plenty of time to get my craft on! :)
Today I had a chance to check out everyone's blogs and get caught up on what everyone's been up to.
I was inspired by a few challenges to make a Birthday card. It's pretty simple, but not something I would have thought of without the inspiration of:
My Craft Spot- Sew much Fun
Fantabulous Cricut- Yellow
Birthday Sundaes- Inspiration photo
Looky what I made!
I used Kraft card stock for the base of the card.
The second layer is from the DCWV Lemon Flower stack.
The third layer started out as a cream colored scrap of cardstock that I used Distress Ink on (Mustard Yellow and Haystack Straw).
The banner was cut freehand from some DCWV scraps.
The Sweet Treats cupcake was cut at 2.75". I attached a K & Co. brad to the top and covered the "frosting" with Glossy Accents and sprinkled beads on top.
There is faux stitching (which I am not very good at!) around the banners, cupcake, and 3rd layer.
The sentiment is from a cheapy set that I've had forever!
Wow! That's a lot of writing for a card that took me all of 20 minutes to make!
Hope you all had a great day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Julie, I think your "quick card" turned out really well. Looks good enough to eat. Love how you did the Faux stitching...I hope when I try it, mine looks half as bad as yours doesn't...lol. Card looks great!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day off.
Take care.
