Birthday Card for a Friday

Here is a birthday using the In Colors from the 2010-2012 set.  I really love these colors and will be using them a lot as we come to the end of this catalog year.  Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz have become a staple in my color rotation so I don't know what I'm going to do when they leave my professional palette!  I'll have to stock up for personal use down the road, I suppose.  In any case, here's that wonderful Bird in the heart from the Take it To Heart stamp set.  I also used the Happy Birthday from the Sale-a-bration set (free!) Elementary Elegance.  I used the old Subtles collection standby Perfect Plum as an additional accent color.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Valentines Treats

Here are some cute Valentine treat ideas.  Who knew there were some many different colors of Candy Corn!  This is called "Cupid Corn" and for those of you who are local, I found them at Ann's House of Nuts.  These came together really quickly.  I'll post a single picture here, as well.  The 1"x8" Cellophane Bags that Stampin' Up! has been carrying since the Holiday Mini Catalog are really fun to play with.  I did a reindeer at Christmas time (with Reindeer Corn, naturally) and now I've got a Valentine treat, too.  The Cello bags have a self-adhesive top (love it!) and I attached a 2-3/8 inch Scallop Circle (punched out of Very Vanilla) to the top and folded it in half.  I then used some Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon for the handle.  The hearts are punched using the Framelits Dies Hearts Collection from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Add a sentiment and you're ready to give them to family, friends or co-workers.  I can't wait to play with the Spring-Easter version using Bunny Corn!  Stay tuned...Here's the single picture:

Happy Wednesday!

Here is another card using products from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This uses the Twitterpated Product Suite featured on pages 10-13.  I made the border using the Edgelits Dies Adorning Accents and matching it with a stamp from the Bordering on Romance clear mount stamp set.  The clear mount here makes lining things up much easier.  I used the Twitterpated Designer series paper, as well.  Enjoy.
