HI Everyone,

 I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the quiet month here on my blog.  I did not host any card classes during June, so I haven’t had any new cards to share with you.

But the good news is -I’ll be back to posting again in July! I’m looking forward to getting creative and sharing new inspiration with you very soon.

Thank you so much for stopping by and continuing to visit the blog.  Your support truly means a lot to me!

See you in July,

Amy

The card above I made for a card swap with my Stampin' Up! Team members. I didn't write down the directions or measurements so I can't share that with you.  Maybe I will try to duplicate the card for July and then I will post the measurements and directions.  Stay tuned.

Happy Birthday (Cake Celebrations)

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Let’s start with the easy stuff first.  Adhere the larger piece of Navy Cardstock to the inside of your card.
2. Stamp the sentiment on the larger white piece of cardstock then adhere this to the inside of your card. (Optional: I used the same sentiment on the envelope front.)
3. Stamp birthday sentiment on the piece of Slate cardstock then adhere to the card front on the lower left side.
4. Take your smaller piece of white cardstock and start creating your cake.  First stamp the tray.
5. Now decide how many layers you want your cake to have.  I opted for three. Take the stamp, ink it in Pecan, (you can make it a yellow cake if you want to and for that matter, you can make your cake whatever color you like!) and stamp off then stamp on your paper. (Repeat 1, 2, or 3 more times.  You can also higher layers smaller using the smaller stamp.  Your choice.)
6. Take one of the stamps that creates the icing between or frosting on top and ink in the same color and stamp over your layers.  (You can opt for a different color if you wish I just like chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Mmmm good!)
7. Stamp however many candles you want on top and add the flames.  Add flowers if you would like. And a couple of starbursts.
8. Adhere this piece to the Navy piece of cardstock and then adhere this to the card front using dimensionals.
