Today, the entire design team along with some of our Friends of Flourishes cooked up creations to honor this special day! Be sure to check out their fabulous and festive handiwork... Christine Okken, Cindy Lawrence, Faith Hofrichter, Latisha Yoast,Laura Fredrickson, Leslie Miller, Stacy Morgan, Jan Marie Caruso, Dee Jackson, and Silke Ledlow. Guess what? You can play along too and there is a free set of your choice on the line! You can check out all the official details - HERE!
So, here's my creation! I just love the new BasicGrey Lemonade paper pack. It's so fun and festive! So, naturally I wanted to reach for that and my Birthday Celebrations set for this creation!
This one is really quite simple! Layer up some paper, use a 1-3/4" circle punch to create your window in your card, add a decorative edge punch, some sewing, some paper peircing and.... the fabu cupcakes! I stamped one cupcake and then made a few masks to add the others. I used Vivid Chocolate and Tea Rose inks and then topped off the cupcake with some Stickles Diamond Glitter Glue and some hot fix crystals. The sentiment was done thanks to the Sweet Violets set! I LOVE those sentiments!
This card also qualifies in a round about way for this week's Stamp Simply challenge courtesy of the fabulous Sharon Johnson! This week's challenge is.... Lace! You might be scratching your head wondering where the lace is on my card! Well, I searched my craft room high and low for something lacy and it hit me -- this edge punch is called.... Apron Lace! So, there you have it my friends - my interpretation! :-) You can click HERE for all the official Stamp Simply details! And, don't forget to hop around and see all my Stamp Simply buds who cooked up something fabulous -- I am sure!

Love your *apron lace* and I love that Lemonade paper Julie! A very fun birthday card!
I am in love with this new BG paper. I made up a bunch of cards with it last weekend and I'm going to Archivers this morning to buy more! Your card is BEAUTIFUL Julie!
FANTASTIC Julie!! Love all the delicious colors used here and yes, your "apron lace" border should qualify quite nicely! What a happy, happy creation ... awesome!! Have a great weekend!!
What a happy card! Happy Birthday, Flourishes..!
Ok, GREAT card! LOVE that bright and fun paper! It's Friday and I'm feeling generous, so I'll let your idea of "lace" pass this time. And I'm still LMAO over the fact that you think I should try a recipe and let you know how it went. My sister was coming over on Wednesday and I offered to cook. Her 13yo asked her to bring him food and she told him I was making dinner. He said, "no, seriously, bring me something from Culvers". It took several not going out to eats til he relented. Oh and I made breakfast for dinner (french toast and bacon ~ yum!) and we're both still alive to talk about it! Happy Weekend!
You always make the greatest cards and this is another favorite! I love the colors of the dsp, the luscious ribbon, and those cute little cupcakes sitting in the window! Beautifully done!!
What a happy card with such bright and cheery colors and the bow just does the trick . Love it! Mom
