Celebrate with a cupcake!

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day!

It's Barb with BugBites with my Monday project for you. I have to say I am having so much fun playing with the Stamp Annie Thing stamps. Each Monday can't come soon enough for me to share my next project with you.

This week I used the Our Lil' Cupcake set.

 It's a small stamp set, but packs a punch with so many options of images and sentiments.

Just click on the link below to see all the stamps available.

See ya next Monday!

Mini Journal ...

Good morning & Happy Tuesday. Ruza here to share the Mini Journal I created, but first I have some awesome news to share. I submitted my Masucline Note Cards from last week to The Friday Mashup Challenge #109, and my set was the winning submission! I'm a Rock Star!

I was so honored to receive this badge from The Friday Mashup team.

Now on to the Mini Journal I mentioned above. I still needed to make my project for today, and one more year-end gift for my daughter's bus driver. I knew that when I saw this Tutorial on how to make a Mini Journal that it would be a quick and easy gift to make. Er goes my inspiration for what to make for the bus driver.

My design is similar to the one I created for the Simply Sweet Note Cards that I created in early April. The cherry is from the Our Lil' Cupcake stamp set.

Now I switched up the Design a bit by creating my own DP, and by using a Velcro Tab to close my Journal vs. using twine as in the Tutorial.

This was so easy to create that I think I will be making one for myself to put in my purse. It will be perfect for jotting down notes during vacation next month.

Simply Sweet Note Cards ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a set of Simply Sweet Note Cards that I created with one of the images from Our Lil' Cupcake stamp set.

Simply Sweet Sentiment 

When I got this adorable stamp set from Annie and saw the cherry in the set I knew that I would create a set of Note Cards with 2 of the sentiments. The Note Cards are 3-1/2" x 5" in size, and will be going to one of my daughters Educational Team at the end of the year.

Sweets for the Sweet Sentiment 

I made 3 cards with each sentiment, and there is a slight difference between them all. The first step was to lay a strip of washi tape down where I wanted to put the sentiment. Next I stamped the cherries all over the cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, took off the washi tape, used a Copic 0.35 Copic Multi-Liner pen and ruler to draw the rectangle, added the sentiment, and then colored in the cherries with my Copic Markers. Once this was done for all 6 cards, I layered my design on black cardstock, onto my cardbase, and then used a White Gelly Roll Pen for the highlights.

Here are a couple of pictures showing the difference between each card.

If you didn't hop along with us during our March Release last week, here is a look at Our Lil' Cupcake.

I can see myself creating another set of Note Cards with the confetti. Hmmm ... might have to do that and use a birthday or thank you sentiment with it.
