Hip Hop Thursday!

HIP HOP!!  What day is it????  Hip Hip Thursday of course...and I get to play along this week in the Unity  blog hop!!  If you stumbled straight to my blog, back up and head over to Angela's  first to follow the blog-hoppin' trail all the way to the FREE stamps!!  If you hopped to me from Patter's blog, then keep on reading!

Do you want the specials first or the eye candy?  We'll start with the cards first!  I have 2 for you today...one features a stamp from Simple Pleasures, one of the featured kit specials this week!

I stamped the cake on Papertrey select white cs, then colored it in with my handy-dandy copics!  I have been reading tons of tips from the copic lady and trying to practice more, but what I wouldn't give for a copic certification class to come to NC!!  The shadow at the base of the cake plate is an A Muse oval stamp, stamped off in Sahara Sand ink, which perfectly matches copic W1 :)  And I absolutely ADORE this yummy new paper by Sassafras Lass that I bought last week from All That Scraps...one of my new favorite color combos of orange and turquoise...mmm!  The scallop border is actually the border from along the piece of cs, I just cut it into a small piece and used it as is!

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Simple Pleasures, Remember Happiness  (Unity), small oval (A Muse)

• Paper: Kraft, Dark Chocolate, White (Papertrey); Soft Sky (SU!); Sassafras Lass PP

• Ink: palette Burnt Umber

• Accessories: Swiss dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug); oval frame (SU!); jumbo brads (American Crafts); markers (Copic); Kraft tafetta ribbon, Oval punch (SU!)

Next up, I made this little birthday card for a sweet little 3 year old Isabelle, granddaughter of one of my BFFs.  (I am having a thing for sweets today huh?  Sorry...must be PMS)

This fun little yummy number is from Cupcakes A'La Yummy.  There are 3 of the MOST adorable ever cupcakes in that set plus a handful of fun sentiments of course:)  I used the one that says" Hey There Cupcake" but its kinda hard to see the pale color in the photo.

I cuttlebugged the soft sky piece once again wth Swiss Dots (I swear I have tons of folders...its just my fav!!)  BUT I did pull out one of brand spankin' new cuttlebug borders for the bottom of the card: Frills :)  very fun for a girlie card!  I touched over the dots around the scallops with a turquoise copic to pull it out a bit.  My cuppycake was punched with a 1 3/8" cirlce punch then matted on rose red with the scallop circle punch...I also added a touch of glaze to the cherry to make it really yummy looking! 

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Cupcakes A'La Yummy (Unity)

• Paper: Floral PP (The Paper Patch); White cs (Papertrey); Rose Red, Apricot Appeal, Soft Sky (SU!)

• Ink: Palette Noir

• Accessories: Swiss dots fembossing folder, Frills embossing border folder (Cuttlebug); Circle punch, Scallop punch , key tag punch (SU!); markers (copic); white grosgrain (Michael's); glaze pen (Sakura)
