Celebrate with a Jumbo Cupcake!

Quickie post today. Been sooo wrapped up in fall and winter catalog samples, that I thought I'd take a moment to post something in bright spring/summer/party colors. This card features the Stampendous Cling Cupcake XL image...and I do mean XL. Pretty much a life size cupcake. No calories in this one...maybe extra fiber, but 100% cute! The fun "liner" was run through my Corrugator. The "icing" was layered for dimension. I created a cute pick/flag for the sentiment, added drops of Sakura Souffle Pens on Class A' Peel Dot Sparklers for "sprinkles". Borders of Class A' Peel Ric Rac in the background
add to the fun. This card would obviously be perfect for a birthday card, but would be fab for any celebration, or even for an invitation for a party. I have a good friend who's birthday is this weekend...so guess what she's getting in the mail? Have a wonderful holiday weekend. Don't eat too many chocolate bunnies and jelly beans! Lol.

Celebrate with New Jumbo Clings from Stampendous!

 Stampendous' new Jumbo Cling stamps are the talk of the internet right now, and it's easy to see why. These wonderful new images make a bold statement in whatever crafting project that you are into at the moment. Visit the Stampendous blog, website, FB fan page, and YouTube and you will find so much inspiration that you won't know what to try first. I chose to create a birthday banner for the January 2011 catalog, using the new "Jumbo Cling Happy Birthday" set which has two wonderful images, the huge sentiment and the flourish design as seen on the blue panel of my banner. I stamped the flourish over each panel for continuity, but I also used the new Perfectly Clear "Counting Birthdays" for more great sentiments in birthday mode. Each bright, happy panel was corrugated, distressed, spritzed, and decorated and bordered with fun print papers. All were attached to a long jumbo rick rack string with cardstock loops and brad fasteners. Then I proceeded to break out my jar of ribbon scraps for added fun. You know how I love my pompoms, so of course large sparkly ones were added to the tips of each panel. The new Jumbo Clings are perfect for
banners for any occasion, as well as home decor, fashion accessories, fashion, scrapbooking, or imagine this...a greeting card! Gasp! Lol. Run, don't walk, to your nearest craft store and/or laptop and get some of these for yourself. Be sure to post your creations and give us a link so we can be inspired by you!

Mega Happy Birthday card

Had some super cute printed paper with a breezy feel to it, so I chose to stamp and emboss the "Mega Happy" set of clear stamps on it and cut each letter out. Sounds annoying, but it really isn't as each letter is large without too many nooks and crannies to cut around. What was annoying was my bright idea to scallop-edge the bottom of the card and punch holes along the edge. Next time I'll use one of my great Fiskar border punches! To complete the breezy feel, I stamped the swirls up at the top. I used the same printed paper to line the inside of my envelope. It was simple enough that I made quite a few to have on hand. Mega-happy stamping!
