Birthday Blog Hop -- Day 2

Labels: ,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN



Welcome back for Day 2 of the Birthday Blog Hop!  If you came from Kristen's blog, fantabulouslypink.blogspot.com/  then you are on the right track, if not, go to her blog and you'll be at the beginning. For today I made a birthday card/ gift card holder.
   This is a standard card, 4.25 x 5.5 in, on the front  I scored at 1 in. and then folded it the opposite way  and used 2 brads poked through all 3 layers, which makes a pocket. I added  a cupcake border punch and cut  cupcakes out , at 2,1.75,1.5 in., using the From My Kitchen Cartridge. I added glitter to the frosting and cherries using the Viva Decor Glitter Liner pen. 
The tag was cut at 4 inches,I created a pocket on the back, added  ribbon and brads, and  then used a black gel pen to add stitching around card.

            

     The Simply Sweet cart is still up for grabs. If you visited yesterday and left a comment, please add another today and you'll get entered in the drawing twice.
                                              
Thanks for stopping by, your next stop

    I love how you can use gel pens to get the stiching affect, it's one of my favorite new techniques! Thank you for the great giveaway too!
