Instructions:
Card size: Open-7 1/4" X 11 closed-6 1/2 X 7 1/4".  11 “ piece is scored at 3 3/4 and 6 1/2" (starting at left side).  Cut 2 white Sweetheart Borders and glue 1 to each end of the 11” piece.  Cut striped decorative paper 2 1/4 X 6 3/4" an 3 3/4 X 6 3/4".  Cut Eyelet Album Tags, 1 from white an 1 from hot pink and the inside smooth edge part from white for the sentiment.  Use the “Hope your day is as special as you are” sentiment masking out the “special” then replace it with the “sweet” from Sweet Shoppe, stamp it with Vibrant Fuchsia.  Split the white eyelet tag in the center and put half under the top of pink tag and half under the bottom, cover the center sides with cute enamel dots.

For the front of card start with the hot pink base 4 3/4 X 6 3/4".  Cut the Intricate Swirl Frame from white cutting out the center with the center portion of die set at the same time.  Add blue cardstock to the back of frame opening and cut some green grass with the border punch for the bottom.  Stamp Sweet Shoppe, flower pots  and sweets using black Memento Ink then color with Copics.  Stamp Sweet Shoppe sign using Vibrant Fuchsia and cut with oval die.  Glue Sweet Shoppe cart to frame and pop up the extra wheel and extra scalloped side.  Double pop the flower pots at each end of the cart.  Tuck the extra wheel under some of the grass.  Glue the back roll of sweets to the frame and pop up the front roll to give some dimension.   Pop up the sign on the top left of cart.  Glue the pink front to the left panel of Z fold.  

Stamp Cherry Blossoms with Buttercup and sponge then die cut.  Stamp Leaves with Leaf Green and sponge with Vivid Chartreuse then die cut.  Run the blossoms and leaves through the die cutting machine in the mold to shape.  Glue 2 blossoms for each flower and add some FlowerSoft to the centers.  Glue clusters to each corner.

Instructions:
Card size: 5 X 4”.  Cut pink cardstock 5 1/4 X 12 and score at 4” and 8”, fold at the 4” and cut 2 layers having the die off the folded edge about 1/4".  Start the cut at the fold and place the top plate about 1/2" from the edge so that you don’t cut through the next panel.  Unfold and finish the edge cut then do the same for the third panel, place the die back on the middle section and fold the third in under it.  Start at the fold and cut to within 1/2"  of the edge and stop, unfold and finish cutting the third panel to the edge.  Stamp and die cut the inside parts of the cupcake 4 times.  Because 2 of the panels are “backward” 2 of the cupcakes need the tops cut off and turned around which is ok because the texture paste will be on the non-stamped side anyway.  Color texture paste with re-inkers.  While texture is wet sprinkle on the Prills and glitter.  Let dry over-night.  Color the cupcake bottoms with Copics.  Stamp numbers, hearts and the 2 sentiments  using Fuchsia.  Wrap each cupcake bottom with ribbon.  Cut out the sentiments with the arrow dies, shortening the larger arrow for the sentiment.  Glue the hearts, numbers, and sentiments onto cupcakes.  Add ribbon bows to cupcake bottoms (except the center cupcake with the larger sentiment).

Thanks for visiting!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NKJV)



“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
