FTL76 - So Sweet of You

Hello ello! :) Hope you're having a great Wednesday! It's been snowing for about 5 hours here, and I'm starting to worry that they're going to announce a 2 hour delay in the morning, which will mean my daughter won't have school... She stayed home Monday and Tuesday because of illness, so if there's no school on Wednesday we'll be headed into our third day off... Poor thing is b.o.r.e.d! I don't know about your house, but boredom here equals trouble, big time. She gets into all kinds of mischief at the blink of an eye. LOL

Anyhooooooo, on to today's card... :) This card was created using Friday's Clean & Simple Stamping Fall-to Layout #76. The cupcake image was created by Heather Nichols for Papertrey Ink's 3rd birthday celebration. It originally had a candle on top, but it didn't look quite right extending outside my white square, so I trimmed it off and added a pink rhinestone in its place.

Have a great day! :)

Instructions:
  • Create A2 card base using teal cardstock.
  • Stamp sentiment in brown ink.
  • Attach pink ribbon to card base and tie knot.
  • Run a scrap piece of white cardstock through Cuttlebug and emboss with dots. Cut into four 1" square pieces.
  • Adhere squares to card base with pop dots.
  • Print digital image and trim off candle and plate. Adhere rhinestone.
  • Attach cupcake image to top right square.

Supplies:
Stamps - Signature Greetings, Cupcake image created by Heather Nichols
Ink - Dark Chocolate
Paper - Bermuda Bay, Stamper's Select White
Miscellaneous - Raspberry Fizz Grosgrain, Hot Pink Rhinestone, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
