Happy Birthday!

Last week was Fran Seiford's birthday.  In case you don't know, Fran is the owner and artist behind all those wonderful stamps at Stampendous.  Happy birthday, Fran!  Anyway, some of us made cards to celebrate her special day and this is the card I created.

The top layer of the cake comes out since I made the bottom layer a pocket!  These cute candles are from the Fifteen Candles Perfectly Clear Set.  I also used a selection of Stampendous glitters, each candle is a different color.

And when you untie the top layer and open it up, it's a mini card with in a card!  I used Timeless Twine to tie the card.  There's a method to my madness, I add the twine to keep the top layer from sinking too far into the bottom layer.  I used Beacon's Zip Dry to adhere the Multi Ultra Fine Crystal Glitter to the drippy goo icing!

And here's the inside sentiment!  This stamp is from the Party Invite Perfectly Clear Set, one of my all time favorites!

Other products used:

Bazzill Paper
Bo Bunny Dots
Bella Blvd Sugar Rush
EK Success Daisy Chain Punch
Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Punch
Queen & Co. Pearls

This is a simple but cute card and I do hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my love for all things Stampendous!  Have a good day and I'll see you back here soon!

Every Day I'm a Wobblin'!

Every day this week the Stampendous Design Team and Action Wobbles Design Team has been wobblin'!  No, we haven't been over-eating and wobblin' out the restaurant door, we've been creating adorable cards for your viewing pleasure with Action Wobbles!  Today I've created a card using the Cling Hula Kiddo stamp from Stampendous and she's hula dancing thanks to the Action Wobbles spring attached to the back side of her head.  Here's the front and a side view of my card:

I created my card with a base of Bazzill and the floral patterned paper from Bo Bunny.  I added a strip of complimentary Bo Bunny paper with a fringe I made using "honey pop" paper.  I added a blue wave cut from Bazzill with a Memory Box die, as well as, a few clouds I cut from Neenah paper, also with a Memory Box die.  As you can see, I stamped my image twice, one I left on the paper I stamped her on, the other I cut out and layered her on with the Action Wobble.  Did I tell you they are sticky on both ends of the spring?  No, well, they are!  She's layered on a Bella Blvd. itty bitty polka dot paper.  I have to say, I absolutely love how this card came out!  Here's a short video clip that shows how cute she is when she "wobbles."

Is there a doctor in the house?

Why, yes, there is!  Say hello to Doctor Brittany, newest image in the Jude and the Rockers Just for Fun collection from Simply B Stamps.  I just love this collection!  This one takes me back to my childhood and playing doctor with my own dolls and stuffed animals.  One of my aunts was a nurse and I used to love pretending to be like her.  Here's my card:

I love this paper.  It reminded me of lazy summer days looking into the clouds and dreaming of days to come.  I decided it would be perfect for this sweet image.  Here's a close up:

How cute is she?

Who remembers the Bunny Hop?

In grade school the Bunny Hop was one of my favorite dances to do.  I loved it!  Also, when I was in my early teens one of my best friends, Totsy, and I dressed up as Easter bunnies and delivered little Easter baskets around our neighborhood to the elderly neighbors.  We had such a good time together and even to this day I have a collection of bunnies that remind me of our fun.  That why I chose to preview Cotton Tail Sally from the Simply B Stamps Sweet Gothic Kids Easter collection.  Originally this was supposed to be the last day these adorable stamps would be available.  Well, they have been such a hit that Betty has decided to make them available through Easter.  So, if you haven't purchased your digis yet, now is the time to get hoppin'!
