It's a party

It's always a good time when I get time in the Igloo.  Today was a day of creating.  I worked on my team swaps for the meeting next week.  The theme was anything new...so I combined a few things.
I used the new In-colours: Sweet sugarplum, peekaboo peach and dapper denim with some old favourites: pool party and tempting turquoise.  I love the new cupcake stamp.  It's a triple stamp set for the icing and bottom.  it's made easier to do since it's a photopolymer stamp.  I also used the new banners for you bundle.  And to finish it off, some wink of stella on the icing.

I am quite pleased with these.  I may add some more confetti to them.  When you have a party, you can't have too much confetti, right?

Thanks for looking.  happy stampin

A Totally-Tess birthday

I just love when I see retired sets and cute ideas-and I have to just have the set...lol

such was the case with this set.  I have seen some really cute ideas with this set, and looked for it for a while.  I found it last week, and since I had to make a fun birthday card for a friend/customer, I just knew I had to break this one out.

I stamped her on whisper white card stock.  Then I used the colour wonder crayons to colour her in.  I love the ease of the crayons, they blend so easily.  I cut her out and mounted her on melon mambo card stock.  Then I stamped the cupcake from the Keep Calm set and embossed the frosting in Melon Mambo.  I added a birthday banner and used some basic gems to accent it.  I really love how this came out!
