Hi everyone! Happy Weekend! And for all you moms out there working hard - Happy Mother's Day! I hope you have a delightful day planned with your families and friends today. Last week totally got away from me, I was so busy. I only did one blog post! Well, this week we're going to fix that situation! I have three exciting blog posts planned for this week! YEAH! Today it's all about unique and fun Birthday cards made with a brand new card kit from Queen & Company! OMG - soooooo much fun this kit! I've never seen anything like it. And, it includes one of my very fav crafty things - pom poms! EEP. CLICK HERE to see the kit - it's awesome - and it's called Birthday Bash! I made two cards to share and showcase the original designs and concepts. I've said it before... The kits from Queen & Company are truly amazing. The most product for the best price. Check 'em out!
Here are my two cards for today! And I made that pom pom banner too! There are so.many.pom.poms in this kit!
First up is an icy blue (blueberry?) ice cream cone! Everything you need comes in the kit: Dies, Stamps, pom poms in lots of colors, gems in many colors, and an entire matching paper pad! I started this card with a white card base. Then I layered the pink polka dot paper from the kit, and then another white layer. I used two shades of yellow distress ink to make a washed background. Then I used the stars stamps in the same yellow! I love how it came out! I'm really working on perfecting my backgrounds. I stamped the sentiment in black ink.
I die cut two of the ice cream cone dies out of kraft paper. I layered them with foam tape to pop off the card. Now the fun part! I used clear glue to attach my pom poms. Came together so quickly and easily. I used a pink one for a cherry on top and added a tiny piece of kraft paper for a stem.
These cards have so much texture and pow to them. Can you imagine how happy someone will be to get this unique card? I can't wait to give these to my friends! I added one sparkly tear drop gem to look like the cone was dripping.
To make this adorbs little pom pom garland I took a needle and thread and strung them in the same order all the way down. This one is about 28 inches long! It's so festive. Can't wait to use it on another project....gets my creative wheels spinning! CLICK HERE to buy just the pom poms!
Now, who doesn't love a big pink poofy cupcake!? For my second card I also started with a white A2 card base. I layered two of the included patterned papers across the bottom of the card. Then I stamped the sentiment in black. I really like this festive font. I die cut two cupcake bottoms out of silver sparkly paper and I also die cut some stars from the silver paper.
Make a Wish!
To build the cupcake top, I used two different shades of the pink pom poms, and two different sizes. I just kept layering them more and more and more! Again I used clear glue to attach them all. I added a candle and some more pretty gems for a bit more sparkle. The yellow ones look just like a flame!

Oh my, this looks like so much fun to create! I especially love the pom-pom garland. I'm not too skilled with a needle and thread, but I would attempt it for this!

Loads of bang for your buck.... I am a little confused, I already think your backgrounds are perfection!! Thanks for sharing these two lovelies and Happy Mother's Day to you also.
