Time to Party trio

I have another group of birthday cards to share from my October craft weekend. Today's festive trio was made with the Time to Party stamps and dies (Simon Says Stamp).

I love the graphic style of these bold, solid images. For the first card (left), I stamped, die cut, and glued together the pieces for three cupcakes, complete with cherries on top. I die cut a white stitched rectangle, stamped "happy birthday" in the lower left corner, and adhered it to a dark brown card base. I arranged the three cupcakes on the white panel and added a red card stock flag.

For the second card I used a kraft card base and stamped the asterisk/star images across the background using kraft and white ink. I stamped four balloons on white card stock, die cut them, and decided where I wanted to place them on the card front. When I was happy with the arrangement, I stamped the balloon strings with black ink on the card base and adhered the balloons. I added a sentiment strip and finished with three white enamel dots.

For the third card, I stamped and die cut three polka dot party hats: one pink, one purple, and one teal. I used black card stock for the card base and added a die-cut, stitched white panel in the middle. I die cut "celebrate" from black card stock a few times and layered them together to make the sentiment thicker. Then I arranged the hats, sentiment, and a sentiment strip on the card base and finished with several sequins scattered to look like confetti.

Thanks for stopping by!
