Hi there crafty friends! Happy Saturday! What are you doing this weekend? We don't have any big plans for the weekend - just some errands and church and maybe a walk in the park. We had weather in the 70's all this past week and our flowers are already blooming! We have lots of daffodils and a few tulips are trying to pop out too! So we might have to do some yard work already! Spring has sprung in Sactown! I hope you have a delightful weekend!
Today's post is part of the big celebration of Pretty Pink Posh's 8th birthday! There's a three day blog hop and then also a three day Instagram hop, prizes, fun, inspiration, new products and more! I am so happy for Paulina and Pretty Pink Posh and wish them many many more happy birthday celebrations! One of my favorite companies for sure!!
My card for the hop has a birthday theme (of course!) and I used the brand new Build a Cupcake stamps and dies and a vivid, happy color palette! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with some teal, more white and a bit of vellum too! Those cupcakes are the star of the show! Who doesn't love cupcakes??
I love this font, and I love that there's a matching die cut so it cuts out perfectly to put on your card! I stamped and die cut out three cupcakes. I colored them with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents and glitter accents too!
Here's a close up of those cheery cupcakes! The stamp set has add-ons like a cherry, a candle, a star and more! For the background I used the awesome Star Stencils from Pretty Pink Posh! I used two shades of yellow distress inks and my blender brushes to make the stars. They made the perfect background for a birthday card!
I used a vellum circle as the background for the cupcakes. They are attached to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is centered on the bottom and is also attached with foam tape. I used the new Sunshine Pearls Embellishments on my card. SOOOOOO pretty! My crafting always turns to the color yellow this time of year....
Here's another close up of the cupcakes! SO SWEET!
Thanks for stopping by on the Hop! If you're new to my blog - welcome! Hope to see you back again! Everyone have a great weekend!!! XOXOXO
