Papertrey Blog Hop




I am so excited to be participating in my first ever Papertrey Blog Hop!! I have absolutely LOVED Papertrey from the beginning and why I haven't participated until now is beyond me LOL!!! This month's theme is to make a birthday card. I had a whole different idea starting out but it just wasn't working!! Starting out I knew I wanted to us my It's a Celebration set. I love the Raspberry Fizz color that they came out with, it is so beautiful!!! I stamped the present in Versamark and then Raspberry Fizz Palette Hybrid ink, I then poured clear detail embossing powder, then I took the bow, stamped in Versamark and then Encore Ultimate Silver ink, poured clear detail embossing powder and heat set. I used some decorative scissors and cut the image out, I then cut out a piece of Papertrey's Silver Shimmer cardstock and then a piece of Raspberry Fizz. I attached to a piece of Papertrey's White Select cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Happy Birthday embossing folder. That piece was attached to a piece of Raspberry Fizz. I wrapped Raspberry Fizz Satin ribbon and silver cord around and tied into a knot. Above I added small pieces of silver and raspberry and cut with my decorative scissors. After attaching all of the cardstock to Papertrey's White Select cardstock I stamped the Celebrate sentiment and added stars (I had a goof at the very end!!).
My layout is for Stephanie's sketch challenge as part of Taylor's year of cupcake challenges!! I love this layout!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
