My Favorite Things just released this birthday set yesterday. Sorry I'm a bit late getting this up for the preview . . . my whole week has been upset since Monday with a car accident. Nothing major, no one hurt, but it still just upsets the apple cart! And once again, I'm having computer issues . . . Santa has been put on notification that I need a new one, so let's hope he's listening!
This new set is Icing on the Cake and has some darling sentiments included with it . . . 2 cakes, a cupcake, a stack of presents, balloons . . . everything you need for a birthday party!
The red tag is a Petaloo . . . a card tag with a magnetic closure at the top, underneath my flower embellishment. The tag is hinged at the bottom and opens at the half-circle that's under the flower. It's perfect for holding a gift card or certificate.
The cake image was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black on Curious Iridescent Cryogen White shimmer cardstock and watercolored with red dye ink. The image was cut and embossed with Spellbinders Nestabilities Scalloped Oval and Copic Spica Glitter Pens accent the cake and dots around the scallops. Tiny Doodlebug white Paper Frill flowers accent the corners of the black rectangle and zig-zag Paper Frills accent the back/inside of the tag. Stardust Stickles were added to the white brad in the center of the flowers.
Glad you're ok Sharon! Wow...scary!!

Hi Sharon,
Glad to hear no one was hurt in your car accident, they do shake things up though, especially this time of year when everyone has so many things on their minds.
I like your birthday gift tag, very cute. I also love the party crackers idea in your last post...I'm gonna have to try those! Great idea! Thanks for sharing. :)
Hugs,
Julie

Sorry to hear about your accident but glad to hear no one was hurt, that is the main thing. I was upset right after I got my new Explorer this May, as someone ran a key or something on the driver's door and left a huge scratch. Loved the gift tag. Have a great week-end, Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne

Just lovely! The red & black really make it POP!
I love your rainbow cupcakes card!! (It's my favorite!)Reminds me of my grandmother. We used to make cupcake batter out of white batter, and mix it into 6 different bowls. Then add different food coloring to each bowl of batter. Then you spoon it in each cupcake holder by teaspoonfuls, mixing the colors. Swirl with a knife and ta da rainbow cupcakes. Now I gotta bake some! YUM. I miss my Grammy.
