Party Hearty Sis!

It was my sister's 10th anniversary of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes a few weeks ago - and she celebrated with a ten year old party! I thought i'd better make her a very bright and kid-coloured card to celebrate the occasion. (All images copyright Stampin' Up!)


I had some extra cupcakes, so I thought i'd better decorate the inside as well!

I love how easy it was to get the colour choices happening once I picked up the paper for the 9 squares on the front of the card. Washington Apple - such a great DSP range, and great colours for kids cards (I even think this ended up unisex, despite the ribbon on the inside!)

To put her birthday present in (I made her a miniature teddy bear) I also made a bag-a-lope with a little topper made out of cardstock and ribbon.


I love how this all turned out! It's a great little gift set, and she really loved it too.

Papertrey Ink World Card Making Day

Wow, so it's been ages since my first post, but i've got another one finally!

This card is one I made in about 15 minutes tonight for the Papertrey Ink World Card Making Day challenges - here.

I hope i'm not ridiculously late for this challenge (I can't convert times to the US off the top of my head, and i'm too in denial to check properly!)

The colours in this photo are a touch washed out, but you get the idea - bright, pinata inspired card made with my scallop punch and some fabric-y papers I found lying around my craft area.

Here's the card (all images copyright Papertrey Ink):


Very Mexico I think - even if my idea came from a cliche!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Birthday Basics
Ink: Going Grey from Stampin Up
Papers: Random assortment of very soft papers from a craft store, kraft cardstock as a base
