Daffodil Birthday Stitches

I made this birthday card for PPA#82, Elements of Style-Scallops, and with the Clean and Simple FTL#129 here.
The base is Daffodil Delight card stock and I added DSP from the Sweet Stitches DSP. I ran some Daffodil Delight thru the Scallop Edge Border punch. I cut out a Daffodil oval with the Coluzzle Oval cutter and ran that thru the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. I stamped the cupcake bottom from Create a Cupcake in Daffodil and added a Melon Mambo bow. The top was stamped in Chocolate Chip, as was Happy Birthday. I used the Build a Cupcake punch to punch out the cupcake and the Word Window punch for the sentiment. I popped up the cupcake with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 1/8 inch Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Create a Cupcake
Papers:  Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Sweet Stitches
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo
Accessories: Build a Cupcake punch, Scallop Edge Border punch, Word Window punch, Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder, Stampin dimensionals, 1/8 inch Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon

Fruit for a Splitcoast Sketch

I used the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge#321 here to make this card.
The stamp set is Tart and Tangy, which you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 order! And I paired that stamp set with the SAB Ice Cream Parlor DSP, again FREE with a $50 order.
I started with a base of Peach Parfait card stock and added two of the patterned papers from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP. I used my Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers to color the Tart & Tangy stamps and stamped them all on Whisper White. I used the 1 1/4 inch Large Square punch to punch them out. I then layered them onto Melon Mambo, Old Olive or Peach Parfait card stock that was punched with the 1 3/8 inch XL Square punch. I popped up all the squares with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped "just for you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Peach Parfait on Whisper White, punched it out with the Word Window punch and trimmed down one edge. Finally, some 1/2 inch Peach Parfait stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Tart & Tangy and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Peach Parfait and Ice Cream Parlor DSP

Stampin' Celebration Challenge Guest Designer

I'm thrilled to say that I am today's Guest Designer for the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #41 here. All these gals are soooo talented and I'm honored to be chosen this week!
The green printed tablecloth caught my eye, so I immediately thought of using the Perfect Details Texturz Plate on some Old Olive card stock. I added some Old Olive DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I had to get some pink in my card too, so I started with a Melon Mambo card stock base. I added a touch of black with the Basic Black card stock and stamped the image from A Flower for All Seasons in Basic Black. I then colored it in with the Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Soft Suede Classic pads and Blender pens. The basket piece was matted with Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Basic Black then popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped thank you from Short and Sweet in Old Olive and punched it out with the Word Window punch. I added an Old Olive piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 5/8 inch Old Olive Satin Ribbon finishes it off.

Birthday Card for a Sketch and a Challenge

I made this birthday card with the MojoMonday sketch#179 here and for the SUO Challenge#13, Sale-a-bration Creations here.
I started with a Melon Mambo base, added some Daffodil Delight and then some Ice Cream Parlor DSP. I also used some of the Ice Cream Parlor Quick Accents. I punched a Melon Mambo piece with the 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch and a Daffodil Delight piece with the 1 3/4 inch XL Circle punch. I trimmed down some DSP for the horizontal piece and added some more Quick Accents. I used my Melon Mambo Stampin Write marker to color the sentiment from So Happy For You, masking it off so that I could stamp it vertically rather than horizontally. I popped up the sentiment and the scallop circle piece with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, I added three little circles from the Quick Accents to the upper right corner.
