Birthday Ensemble

Hi Everyone, hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

Today, I have a Birthday Ensemble to share with you...a Memory Board, Birthday card and yes, Cupcakes and they all utilized various Stampin' Up! products.  Oh what fun I had!

We celebrated a friend's birthday today and her favorite flowers are pink roses, hence the rose theme in her Memory Board and Card.



First off is the Memory Board

Paper: Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake Neutrals DSP Stack
Ink: Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Big Shot, Paper Doily Die, Bird Builder punch, Fancy Flower Punch, , Spring Time Vintage Fabric,  Whisper White 5/8” Satin Ribbon,  Not Quite Navy 1-1/4” Grosgrain Ribbon, Cork, Hat Pins.  

Non-Stampin’ Up! -  White Foam Board, Batting, Decorative Tack Pins, Hot Glue Gun, White Poster Board

Next is the card

 
Stamps: Elementary Elegance Stamp Set  (2012 Sale-a-Bration), Fifth Avenue Floral(w-113734  $29.95 p. 110, 2011/2012 IB&C), 
Paper: Regal Rose, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Subtles DSP Stack

The Manhattan Flower that is embossed on the Crumb Cake card stock is sponged with with Crumb Cake ink to highlight the design.  The vellum card stock is stamped with Versa-mark and embossed with White Embossing Powder.  Turn the velum over and colour using markers.  This gives a stained-glass effect to the flower.  The flower is fussy cut and then attached to Rose Red card stock.  The rose leaves are punched from Pear Pizzazz card stock with the Blossom punch from the Occasion Mini catalogue.  Don't miss out on any of these wonderful products, because after April 30, 2012, some may be gone forever.

Finally, the FINALE

Rubber Stamping meets the Baking World.
I had a great time making the decorations for these cupcakes. If you like to bake and stamp, you can now do these 2 things at the same time.

Deb Valder has an excellent video on how this is done.

So there you have it...the Birthday Ensemble

Until next time.....
