More birthday cards

In keeping with the birthday theme, I'd like to share Damaris' s second card. This one also has a little notebook to go with it. I sure hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. Traci Cornelius was my inspiration for this card.  Although I don't own the Elegant Butterfly...I used the mini one.  Please click to view her Video Tutorial

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

Hi crafty friends!

Today the Lovebug Creations team celebrates a special birthday.  It's our Creative Team sister STEPHANIE's birthday.  I created this cute card using the new pastel rumple ribbon and Brown Mama's Mesh both from Lovebug Creations.  I sometimes like to iron the rumple ribbon and that's what I chose to do on this card.

Stephanie, I hope you have an amazing day!!!

Card base is Crumb Cake from Stampin Up
First layer is So Saffron from Stampin Up
Designer Paper is also Stampin Up
Cupcake is from My Creative Time

Used Martha Stewart Microbeads to add a little texture to the cupcake

Morrocan birthday card

Hi friends,

Today is the big day!  You all should see how beautiful Elizabeth's party has turned out.  I can't wait for the kids to arrive and for them to see how pretty everything is.  The attention to detail is just amazing!  We really love doing parties and seeing the outcome.  I promise to post pictures next week after the big event.  My cousin, Marisol, even made her an outfit.  She is going to look beautiful!

Well, I made her a card.  I decided to put money inside, since at 13 they already know exactly what they want.  The problem is

Birthday Card

Hi friends,

My friend, Norma, Pink Bling Crafter recently sent me some goodies to play with.  I was so happy to receive them but had not been able to play much.  Today I made a card for a special friend.  I used the Hostess Birthday Bakery stamp set.  I used this awesome talented lady named Melissa for inspiration. You can check her out on her Creative Treasure blog.  She's got some great projects!

Paper base is Papertrey Ink Kraft Cardstock.
The darker pink is PTI Raspberry Fizz
The light pink is from Stampin Up.
Black ink is Memento Tuxedo Black

I used all kinds of stickles and my SU markers.  I also used a new product that I recently got on the chocolate layered cake.  It's called Liquid Applique. YOu're supposed to heat it up to make it frothy, but I liked the creamy look it gives it. I'll have to create something else to try that technique on.

Hope you like.

Dilo en Español-Bella

Hi everyone,

It's no secret that I love it when I happen upon a blog hop, particularly if there's a prize involved. Recently I've been on a winning streak.  My most recent win is from Dilo en Español where they hold challenges and most of the designers are bilingual.  Their newest release is beautiful and I WON!!  So, of course, I HAD to make a card with my beautiful Bella.  I hope you like her as much as I did.  She is gorgeous and they did a fab job in creating her. You can purchase Dilo en Español stamps at their SAY IT IN SPANISH STORE

I used Crystal Gel to make the eyes, lips and flowers glossy.  SO pretty.

I have very few Copics, so I only was able to use them on her hair

Used Stampin Up pencils on this one and also chalked around the squares, just to make it different.
