Daughter's Birthday Card

Here's the card I created for my Daughter's birthday this year.  She's a Pittsburgh Steeler Fan so always have to do something in black/yellow ~ I gave it to her last Thursday since she was going to be gone today for her real birthday and she loved it!

 

I used Hello Honey CS and ink.  Also Basic Black CS.  The flower is from Beautiful Bunch Stamp Set and punched with the coordinating punch (makes it so easy!).  The Happy Birthday is from Sassy Salutations Stamp Set and heat embossed using clear embossing powder.  Oval Framelits to cut the sentiment.  The striped paper is from the Moonlight DSP Pack.  I also put a little strip of black ribbon across the DSP to clean up the edge (Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon).  The inside sentiment is computer generated.

 

Hamburger-Cupcake Box

Linda Heller had this on Stamping School.  I was having a time trying to put the new (available June 2, 2014 through my Stampin' UP! link - just click on the catalog) hamburger box together.  Me and hot glue don't exactly get along real well!  She showed a different way of putting the box together by using snips and cutting some of the fold lines and using Tombow Multi Liquid Glue.  Here's how mine came out:

 

 

The little Hostess cupcakes fit perfectly into the box.  I used the stamp set Something to Say and Polka-Dot Pieces.  The CS is coming in the new catalog also, it's called Lost Lagoon, don't you just love it?  The ribbon is Hello Honey 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.  I also used the Bird Builder Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack for the little flower on the front.  1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, of course the Hamburger Box Bigz XL Die, Whisper White CS, Basic Gray CS, Moonlight DSP Stack and Mossy Meadow CS. This will give you a "sneak peak" at some of the awesome new products coming out with the new annual catalog on June 2, 2014.  Oh yeah, the new Blendabilites are also coming out, they are alcohol based and that's what I used to color the rhinestones on the inside of the lid of the box.  So many awesome new products!
