When my kids were younger, weekends meant birthday parties. It seemed as if one of my kids, if not both, received an invitation almost weekly. And that meant that I spent lots of time making cards for my kids to include with their gifts.
As soon as I saw this Build a Cupcake punch, I knew that it would create fast and fun cards for birthday parties. These little cards are 3″ x 3″ and fit perfectly into the Mini Square Envelopes (107309). And the cards were really quick to make! The cards were created almost entirely from punches. The only stamping is the Happy Birthday greeting from the Create A Cupcake stamp set.
I hope you like these Simple Saturday cards. Have fun stamping this weekend!
I think this cupcake colour combination with Real Red and Chocolate Chip is my favourite. I love the new Glimmer Paper!
Little girls love pink so this card combines Regal Rose with Chocolate Chip.
I made this cupcake using Baja Breeze with the Chocolate Chip for a little boys birthday.

As soon as I saw the Occasions Mini catlaogue I knew that I had to have this Bold Blossom stamp set. There are a few reasons that I was immediately drawn to this stamp set – I love anything with flowers, I love the bolder images in this stamp set and I love the price – $11.95 in clear or $15.95 in wood.
And I know I made the right decision! I spend just an hour or so creating with this stamp set the other night and was able to make quite a few cards. I used multiple flowers or just a single stem, punched out the flowers or stamped directly onto the card, dressed the images up with pearls and glimmer brads and used soft and bold colours.
Here are a couple of the cards I made:
This first card uses So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.
The colours are really soft and subtle and the Basic Pearls seemed like just the right embellishment.
Stamps: Bold Blossom (122232 Clear, 123232 Wood)
Inks: Pear Pizzazz (119784), Poppy Parade (119782), Daffodil Delight (119667)
Paper: Pear Pizzazz (119795), Poppy Parade (119793), Daffodil Delight (119683), Whisper White (100730)
Punches: 3/4″ Circle (119873), 1-1/4″ Circle (119865), 1-3/8″ Circle (119877)
Other: Pear Pizzazz 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon (122330), Basic Pearls (119247), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)
This card uses Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight.
These colours are a lot bolder than the first card. I used the small oval to punch out the flowers and layered the punch flowers onto a punched 1″ circle in the opposite colour of cardstock for a different look from the first card.
I also used the new Pompom Trim in Daffodil Delight. Isn’t it cute?
Stamps: Bold Blossom (122232 Clear, 123232 Wood)
Inks: Pear Pizzazz (119784), Blushing Bride (119786), So Saffron (105213)
Paper: Pear Pizzazz (119795), Blushing Bride (119796), So Saffron (105118), Whisper White (100730)

Other: Daffodil Delight Pompom Trim (121885), Basic Pearls (119247), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

As promised, here is another Sneak Peek from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalogue which is effective January 5th. Have you received your Occasions and Sale-A-brations Minis yet? If not, request your copies now.
This card features the Botanical Gazette Suite. This suite features the Nature Walk Stamp set and the Botanical Gazette designer series paper both of which I used for this card. The colours featured in the suite are Early Espresso, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist and Old Olive.
The Nature Walk stamp set is a set of 7. The other images include a bird, butterfly, birdcage, a row of eggs and a botanical periodical in addition to the flower and bee that I stamped for this card. I know that you are going to love creating with this set!
For this card, I used So Saffron, Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla. A little more “shabby chic” than my usual style but I just couldn’t stop adding Basic Pearls once I started especially since I was also using the Victoria Crochet Trim.
Can you spot the new Occasions Mini embellishments on the card? I used a Vanilla Rosette and added a pearl center. These Rosettes come in three sizes and this is the middle size.
I also used a Beveled Windowpane on top of the stamped bee and threaded the crochet trim underneath the windowpane to hold it in place.The Beveled Windowpanes also come in three sizes and I used the largest size. You can see a closer view below.
Today is the last day to order from the 2010 Holiday Mini Catalogue so please place your order online or contact me to place your order or with any questions.
