Birthday Blog Hop -- Day 2

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.

Flaunt in Friday's Challenge # 5

  This week the challenge is to Flaunt the martini cut  on pg 60 of the From your Kitchen cart.  You can make any type of project you want with this cut, but the challenge is to make something other then the type before, but is not required.   Being I have never used this cartridge before, this was fun to do and another cart I could mark off my list.. I also used the Forever Young cart, cutting the gal at 4.5 in. The stamp used was from Pink by Design, embossed white cardstock with
the Spots & Dots Cuttlebug folder, and blinged it up alittle bit with Stickles and my I-rock.
