Hello there, fellow crafters! I hope you're enjoying the weekend. This is a very quick post of 3 minis I made last night ... because I need them for today... because I live for the stress of last-minute projects...
not! Why the rush? We have a birthday party / BBQ later this afternoon for 3 siblings who were born exactly a day and a year apart. That's some wicked planning on the part of their parents!
I'm going CAS again...might as well since I enjoyed my last foray into that well-trimmed field. Tell me what you think... and be honest.
 |
| There's all three together. |
 |
| I embossed some pale cream CS with the Swiss Dots folder and did a Direct To Paper with Memento Bamboo Leaves to bring out the spots. Then I cut out some half inch flags using scrap bits from Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness pad. |
 |
| The cupcake is from Clearly Besotted's It's Your Birthday set, cut with its coordinating die. To stamp the cupcake I used Mememto Potter's Clay and Bamboo Leaves for the "cherry". For layering and matting I used Spellbinder's Circles and Scalloped Circles dies. Just one bling for a celebratory sparkle. |
 |
| And plenty of foam tape for dimension. |
 |
| On the inside I have a greeting from the It's Your Birthday set, stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle. |
And now for some challenges:
That's all from me today. Enjoy the weekend my friends and stay cool!
Beijinhos!

ReplyDeleteI've always been such a fan of spots - I like the simple, sweet look of spots, and I think it was a great idea to add some color to them on this embossed background. The cards are really sweet and the design works for both girls and boys.
Beautiful minis! Love the embossed background.

ReplyDeletelovely embossing polkadots with green dots and cute muffin..lovely color combo too...beautifully done dear Asha
ReplyDeleteWicked planning indeed! I will confess that both my kids are in the same week 3 years apart - no planning involved. Nature is a strong thing!!! I would never guess that you "threw" these together. Everything is so well coordinated and planned out - and lots of yummy extras - the pennants, the embossing, and the die cuts! I think you did great - oh and that pic of Snoopi??? What a hoot!
ReplyDeleteThese are darling! Love the colors you used and the little banners really make your cupcake pop! So glad you could join us this week at Flourishes for our Timeless Tuesday Challenge! :)
