Anyone for a big fat birthday cake? I made this card thinking someone would love a big fat cake. I added some dimension to the candle on the cake. The first layer of the card is white base and then blue cardstock and finally a light pink. The sentiment on the inside says “A very happy birthday to you.”
The airplane card took a little longer to make and I’m glad to say that several people liked it since I did teach them how to make it. You may be asking how did she get the airplane to stay floating like that, and to that I say, oh the wonders of fishing line can do for a card. Yep that’s the secret, I used fishing line to suspend the plane in the air. I cut a circle out of the center then pushed it to the inside of the card. After that I embossed two planes on vellum and put the fishing line in the middle of the two planes. I then attached the planes with some heavy duty tape to keep it flying.

Orange, not my favorite color to work with but it did give a punch of color to this card. I cut out some daisy shapes that I embossed with the small polka dot folder and added it to the doiley which I embossed with the swirl folder.
I loved how this one turned out. It feels a little country. I colored the tulips with copic markers and added a few pearls in the corner along with the doiley. I used pink card stock and layered red and then the gingham on top. The tulips are popped up with foam dots and the doiley is neatly tucked in behind the tulip banner.

I had the opportunity to attend a couple of card making classes from Stampin Up and here are the cards I made. The purple birthday card uses the new embossing folder from Stampin Up. It adds so much texture to the background of the card. I lightly colored over the embossed area with ink before mounting the balloon section on top. The yellow thank you card has some dimension on it as well. The flower is cut out so that it pops up on the petals and Stampin Up’s designer paper adds a lot of pizzazz to this card. The bright yellow and blue green flowers just pop with color.
Not trying to give a plug to Stampin Up but they do have a good deal going on right now, if you make a purchase of fifty dollars or more you get a free set of stamps.
