Sweet Friend

I was playing around with my Copics this weekend while watching the women's soccer match - what a nail biter! - and came up with this little card. I think cupcakes will always be in style and I love the set TAC came out with, Sweet Sayings, that goes with them perfectly!

It's bright, so grab your sunglasses! :)



Card Materials:
Stamps: Sweet Day Cupcake, Sweet Sayings
Accessories: Rustic Chic paper, DCWV papers, border punch, nestabilities, white pen, copics, Versamark Sparkle, clear embossing powder

I'm off to run the kids around to different places! Hope you have a great week!

Does this card scream summer, or what? You can't really tell but I used black stickles on the handle bar streamers (sigh, I remember when my now 15 year old daughter loved her purple handle bar streamers - where has the time gone?!?). I also used a flower stamp from the set, Sweet Day Cupcake, to make a fun background piece. I love this bicycle from the Nina B Vintage Rides set...



If you click on the photo, you can see it larger...I colored my image in with Copic markers and used my Fiskars punch for the first time! The saying is from a now retired set...Enjoy your weekend, I'm thinking of YOU!

This is my Hostess Club's last official get together and then we'll be restarting in the fall. If you are interested in coming over to my house once a month for a fun project and ordering just around $10, you'll have the chance to be the hostess with all of the rewards for one of those months! I have 3 spots opening up so please let me know if you are interested! {Or interested in setting up a long distance club for some of you and your friends! wink, wink!!}

So here is our card for this month - these two sets will be featured in the new catalog I believe and I really liked the donut the least of all of the images but I just fell in love with it all here on this card!



My friends thought the Kraft paper was designer paper - what fun to show them how to stamp in white and then color in with colored pencils. It really looks great in real life!



All stamps and papers from The Angel Company - colored pencil/gamsol

I found the directions over on SCS but I would say practice with a scrap of paper first - I had to adjust some of my folds to get it to lay right, but the second time around went so much easier! Also a quick tip: I marked my cut line with a light pencil line first, scored my horizontal lines and then cut the veritcal line last. Oh yes, my stair step portion was only 3" to give me a wider solid panel but you will see that you can play with these dimensions once you practice it first!

Have fun!!
