Beginning Card Class: Flower Birthday Card

Here is the last card that I did for my up-coming card class. For this one, I wanted to show my 'girls' that you don't really need a lot of stamping stuff in order to make cards. I also wanted to have them try stamping with Clear stamps.

Ink: Handsome Hunter (SU)

Stamp set: Simple Sentiments (Technique Tuesday)

Here's my third card. I was asked to do some 'male' themed cards. Thanks to my girlfriend Madonna, who let me borrow her stamp set (Bareback).

Cardstock: The Paper Company (Cypress and Brocade packs)

Pattern paper: Country Large Stripes (The Paper Studio)

Beginning Card Class: Cupcake Birthday Card

Here's the second card in my Beginning card class. I should say that all cards are Birthday cards for my Beginning Card class.

Cardstock: All from The Paper Company (Brocade and Butter cream packs)

Pattern paper: Easter Time Flower/Pink Dot by Pebbles Inc.

Ink: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Pink Passion (all from SU)

Stamps: Cause for Celebration (SU) and Happy Birthday 01 (Stampabilities)

Other things:

Pink Flock (from Hobby Lobby), 2-way Glue (SU), Yellow stickles, Glass beads (Darice), Black Glaze (Sakura)

Here's what I did:

For the cupcake frosting, I used the Pink Flock.

For the candle, I used the Yellow stickles.

To make the cupcake paper darker, I used the Black Glaze (kinda makes it like embossed without actually embossing)

I used the beads and put it around on the yellow cardstock.

I also stamped 'Happy Birthday' inside the card.

Here's my first card:
