All occasion card with a chocolate cupcake with a red cherry on top, a length of shimmery gold ribbon, brads and a red and pink background

The little cupcake on this card was also found on Illustoon.  I really loved the colours on this one and it makes me think of a romantic dinner out so I combined it with a red/pink background paper with hearts (colour printed - Morgue Files) layered onto dark brown cardstock.  I added a length of a wide shimmery gold ribbon near the middle of this layer adhering the ends to the back with double sided tape.  I added three dark brown brads near the right hand edge on the ribbon.  I mounted this layer to the front of a red A2 card.  I added gold shimmer watercolour to the background of the cupcake and bit of brown near the bottom to create a shadow.  I layered the image to a metallic gold rectangle fo cardstock before adhering it to my card front using 3D foam tape.  I love how it worked out and it will work well as an anniversary/Valentine's card OR as a birthday card for a chocolate lover.  Perfect!!  Therese
 

SISTER STASH - Christmas card featuring more ornaments, some HOHO paper and a digital greeting

I started with a large green card that coordinated with my papers.  I added a long strip of red cardstock, then my four ornaments evenly spaced and another red strip on the other side to my green card.  I filled the remainder with some fun HOHO paper which I trimmed to my card edges on all three sides.  I found this little "Joy to the World" greeting from Desert Diva in my stash.  I coloured the ornament with glittery gel pens, used a corner rounder on all four corners and then added a dotted line all the way around the edge using a fine tip black Sharpie.  I added it to my card front using 3D foam tape to finish my card.
