Ribbon Flower Tutorial

I've received many requests for a tutorial on this ribbon flower I made for the Piece of Cake Blog Hop and I had good intentions of making a tutorial but time got the best of me!!


So....I've decided to point you in the direction of Courtney's Blog where she shows how to make one out of fabric...I used the same concept, just used ribbon instead.  Hope this helps everyone and sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your requests :0)

Piece of Cake anyone?

Welcome to February's Blog Hop using CTMH's Stamp of the Month, Piece of Cake!!!  This is a SUPER CUTE set that can be used for birthdays, weddings and even the cake layers can be stamped, cut apart and can be used as presents!!

We have over 60 consultants participating this month and if you've come from Jody's blog, you're on the right track!!

This month I decided to make 2 cards, one using a NEW paper packet, Caboodle, and the other using Stardust!!! 

For my first card, I used Caboodle (Buttercup, Crystal Blue, Sorbet & Sweet Leaf) and CTMH's Wishes Card Confidence Program - Name Plate (3"x6").  I used Heavenly Blue ribbon 'cause I didn't have any Crystal Blue but I think it turned out okay anyway.  I used Pewter Photo Hangers and paper pieced everything except the candles - I used markers on those.  I inked distressed everything with Grey Wool Ink (direct to paper).


-----------------------------------------------------------
For this next card, I used the Stardust paperpacket and White Textured Cardstock (which CTMH is having a HUGE HAITI fundraiser using Textured cardstock as the promotion - check back later for more details)!!!!

I made a flower using Black Gingham ribbon (non-CTMH, I think) and a Twinkle Brad for the center.  I decided not to color in the cupakes and just added prisma glitter to the tops and only colored in the candles.  I used Wishes again and pop-dotted the center piece with the cupcakes.  The cubcakes are actually a part of the stamp that has a cake stand, but I masked out the stand and just stamped the cupcakes end-to-end.  I inked distressed with Grey Wool and Watermelon (direct to paper).

PAM turns 40!!!!

I thought about NOT putting her age, but the inside of my card says it anyway so what the heck....

This is a card I made for my upline and very dear friend, Pamela O'Connor!!!  She is one of the friendships I can attribute to CTMH and I will be forever grateful! 

I hand-drew the cake stand and the cake....the card measures about 5.5"x9" which was NOT my plan but you know how that goes!






I used two paper packets....Stardust and Whoops-A-Daisy - Retired.  I used Rustic Numbers (LOVE these 'cause they are so easy to cut out), Black Gingham Ribbon (non-CTMH), White Daisy Cardstock, Black Cardstock with Black Core (I'm not even sure if you can still get this from CTMH), Corner Rounder, Sponge, Black Ink and white gel pen (non-CTMH).  Oh, I almost forgot....Candlelight stamp set (NEW this Spring) and CTMH's Cutting Knife to get the center of the numbers cut out.

Don't forget to head on over to Pam's blog and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

CELEBRATE!!!

Another Cupcake Sprinkles card...this time with the colors of CTMH's Stardust paper packet...LOVE them both!
In the top left corner, I tried to do something my upline, Pamela O'Connor, did on a recent post of her's...didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to so the Heavenly Blue bow is an unexpected addition.
