Here is my card ....

I used the stamp set "Strength and Hope".  $2 for every set purchased will go to Breast Cancer Research.  This set is awesome, I love the images included in it.
Stamps:  Strength and Hope, Tiny Tags
Ink:  Pretty In Pink, Rich Razzleberry, VersaMark
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pretty In Pink
Other:  White Embossing Powder, Basic Pearls, Small Oval punch, Jewelry Tag Punch
I stamped the butterfly in VersaMark, then embossed it with White Embossing Powder.  I popped the wings up, and glued the body directly to the card.  Then I added 3 Basic Pearls to it to jazz it up a bit.
Hope you are having a great Easter weekend.  We managed to get out on our sailboat for an afternoon cruise today.  It was simply amazing, so quiet and peaceful.
Happy Stampin' .................................................................. 

Cupcake Happy Birthday Card

I saw this card at a recent get together at Barb Tripp's home where a bunch of us demos got together to prepare for the Vancouver Regional Seminar.  I asked Barb if I could case the card and she was graceful enough to allow me to.  Barb does not have a blog (yet!) so I can't send you that way, but she is a very talented papercrafter.  She is the one I also cased THIS card from.
This card uses the new Create A Cupcake set and Build A Cupcake Punch by Stampin' Up!  I fought cupcakes for a couple of years now, saying they were not my "style".  Ha!  Now I have the set and the punch and absolutely LOVE them both.  Check yesterday's post where I made my newest batch of Thank You cards using the set and punch.
Here is my card ........

Barb's original card used Cherry Cobbler and Love Letters DSP.  I used Mellon Mambo and the SAB designer paper Ice Cream Parlor.  I added a couple of Basic Rhinestones, because you know me, Bling is Better!

Stamps:  Create A Cupcake, Tiny Tags

Ink:  Mellon Mambo, Pretty In Pink

Cardstock:  Mellon Mambo, Whisper White

Other:  Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Build A Cupcake Punch, Jewelry Tag Punch, Basic Rhinestones, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Modern Label Punch, Eyelette Border Punch

Have a great day and Happy Stampin' ....................
