Birthday Cake Emily

Happy Monday,

Hope you all had a great weekend.  So glad I got a chance to spend some time with some crafty peeps who came in from out of town.  First it was Jenny & Linda from Hawaii and then it was Sparkle, Thanh, Kim, Suzanne, Chris, Chuck, Kathy & Renate.  Yesterday I got to spend some time with my sis and her dh who drove down for a day but ended up staying for the weekend.  All-in-all I had a very nice weekend.

Today's card feature's the lovely Birthday Cake Emily from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.  (Sorry the store is currently on hiatus and as soon as it's back online I'll link up)

Kept it pretty CAS.  If you haven't noticed I'm trying to branch out by adding flowers here and there to my projects.  I purchased a bunch of flowers, but I have also been hoarding them as well, so hoping to figure out how to arrange them like some of my favorite ladies with green thumbs.  (hehe)  The flowers are partly Recollections & Petaloo.  Used a Spellbinder die to cut out the colored image  and adhered it to some leftover red cardstock.  Then the whole piece was glued down on to a white card base.  The sentiment along with another one comes with the stamp as a set.

Konnichiwa!

Good morning!!

Happy Saturday!  I'm popping in to share another card!  Yay!!  Thank you for all your lovely comments and welcome to my newest friends!!  Hope you find some inspiration here. :) 

SCRS is sponsoring Feeling Sketchy's challenges for the month of July.  I decided to play along using Cherry Blossom Rin. 

Yep, I did fussy cut her out, well except for certain parts, those I actually stamped on to the origami paper and colored in.  Kept the colors bright and fun, especially with her kimono, accents and yes the paper choices.  Here is the sketch if you want to play along:

I believe today is the last day to link up your card, so hurry up, it's a pretty fun sketch.  Go here to check out the details and the DT samples. 

Alrighty time to sign off.  Hope you all have a fantastik Saturday!  Mahalo for stopping by! :)

Here is my card featuring Festive Rin...

Isn't she gorgeous?  When I first saw her I said she has to be colored in jewel tones with gold and sparkle!   A little play off of Jasmin from Alladin, but instead of a magic lamp she has a magic cupcake! hahaha!  Well at least a sparkly one to share.  :)  There are two very fun sentiments that go with Festive Rin however the one I used is actually from the Birthday Emily stamp set.  I thought it was fitting.  I used the wonky Spellbinders as a base and kept it pretty simple.  I love the embossing on the gold paper.  This was really fun to color and put together.  I think she is my favorite out of the four.  :)

Alrighty, make sure to stop by each of the designer's blogs and leave some love (including mine)

Here is my card featuring Birthday Cake Emily...

Isn't she pretty?!  I love the whole design and that cake!!  I would love to have a slice of that chocolate cake!  hahaha!  This image also comes with two fun sentiments.  I kept the card very CAS. The dp as well as the lavendar paper are from Wild Rose Studio's Bella paper pack.  I got lucky finding that paper to match her.  I colored her up then I found the paper I thought would go well with her coloring.  I normally pick paper first but this time I did it backwards, and totally lucked out!  See that gorgeous flower?  Well my fellow teammate, Kim Yu, made me some of these for a swap and I finally brought one out to use on this card.  I was so happy that it matched!!!  Doesn't she do beautiful work?  If you haven't stopped by her blog you must!  From there you can head on over to her Etsy store to purchase her gorgeous handmade items.

Alrighty, make sure to stop by each of the designer's blogs and leave some love (including mine):
