Sweets for the Sweet pinwheel birthday card

My stampers made two of these cards at a recent stamp-a-stack. I love the bright colors. I think this makes a great birthday card for someone young or young at heart! It uses the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set, as well as Bring on the Cake, Brights dsp, a strip of Pumpkin Pie, and Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point inks. The pinwheels are held on with dimensionals and I stuck a mini glue dot at the bottom of the toothpicks to hold those down.

Pennant Parade and Sweets for the Sweet cards

Tonight was my Stampin' Dessert Party. Women showed up, enjoyed delicious blueberry angel food cake, stamped seven cards (two are shown below), and went home with one of my retired stamp sets. It was a lot of fun!

I CASE'd this bright card from Natasha Zandbergen. It uses Pennant Parade, Just Eat Cake dsp, and Word Play.

I CASE'd this card from Dawn Olchefske. It uses the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set, two embossing folders (Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice), Pacific Point and Chocolate Chip ink, and the new mini silver brads.

I just received a visit from the UPS man tonight, so I'll be cracking into my box tomorrow! Check back for more cards, and have a great day.

Just Add Cake pinwheel card for Monkey Challenge 63

Today is officially the first day of the new Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, and I'm glad! It's great cracking open a new pack of Just Add Cake dsp, and stamping new words from Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. Of course I have many more fun new products coming this way, as I put in my order this morning. Hooray!

So here's my Poppy Parade card for the A La Card Monkey Challenge 63 - Summer Fun + Sketch, complete with a pinwheel! Summer always makes me think of parades and little kids running amuck, lots of water splashing everywhere and laughter, and yes, pinwheels. To find out how to make a pinwheel click on my Tutorials tab above.

Isn't this monkey the cutest? Now it's your turn. Create a card that says "Summer Fun" to you and/or use the sketch above, then link it to A La Card Monkey. Good luck!
