Hello welcome back to my blog!
Well we're half way through August and we've already had 9 birthdays! Yes it’s birthday month in my family and there isn’t a week in August where it isn’t someone’s birthday. So as there's lots of cards to create, which sometimes I wish I had done a month earlier as it gets so busy with the kids being off school and finding the time to craft. I thought why not challenge you all to create some birthday cards for loved ones so you have them ready in advance. This weeks challenge is called;
I would love to see your take on birthday cards with cakes or candles or both.
I created my card using an old die set by First Edition called 'Build your own Cupcakes' which is perfect for this challenge. I started off by stamping Happy Birthday all over my base card in three different coloured dye inks that coordinated with the cupcakes I had die cut. The stamp is from one of Janet Klein's sets by Aallandcreate called 'RiseUp'. I then assembled the cupcakes and arranged them onto the card base using foam tape. Fairly easy right? Now to create a few more.
