Carousel Horse Birthday

Today I played with the Carousel Birthday stamp set.
There is something about this set that jumps at me every time I see it.
I don't like to ride a Ferris Wheel but this one with cupcakes is adorable.

For this card I used the Carousel Horse and the Cupcakes & Carousel designer paper stack.
The color combination is awesome — with a bit of "dirt" sprinkled around.

The card base is Bermuda Bay with Chocolate Chip and So Saffron layers.
I stamped the horse on Very Vanilla and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (these are back in stock on Monday — woohoo I can't wait).  I layered the stitched circle on a scallop circle cut from Bermuda Bay using the Layering Circles framelits.

I added a bit of color to the pole of the horse with my Watercolor Pencils.

Today I have another card for you using the
Hexagon embossing folder.  Today we are using
the other side of the embossed texture.
This is one of the things I love about this folder.

SympathyThe color combo is amazing — Mint Macaron and
Calypso Coral.  The designer paper is
Succulent Garden.  This paper is beautiful,
with lots of different patterns — flowers, stripes,
gingham in two different colors — a definite must have.
The flowers are cut out using the Succulent framelits.

Here’s a card for you that at first glance
looks like a Valentine card.
Nope, it’s a birthday card.
Of course, it’s a great birthday card for
anyone who has a birthday in February.

This is a sweet and simple card.
It’s part of the swap I participated in.
The maker was Angie Juda.
Thanks Angie for an adorable card.
I can’t wait to do a little bit of embellishing on it.
Valentine BirthdayThe base of the card is Crumb Cake.
The designer paper is the Sending Love designer paper stack.
The stamp set is Balloon Adventures.
One of the highlights for me is the Stitched Shapes framelits.
They are suppose to be available again on Monday — YAY!!
