She's so classy (Barbie party decor) (Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #4)

Happy Saturday,

Hope you are all having a great weekend.  I haven't posted in a bit as some of you know summertime is busy busy busy for me.  I wanted to post all these wonderful Barbie themed party decorations I made.  If you missed the invitations post please click here---->Gatefold Invitations for a close up and more info on them.  What little girl doesn't love Barbie!  I use to play with them as a child so this was so nostalgic for me.  Not to mention they were for my childhood friend.
Invites, cupcake toppers, tags and cupcake wrappers. I used the following cricut cartridges...mothers day bouquet, forever young, accent essentials, gypsy font, tags  bags boxes and more and cupcake wrappers.  Phew!!  That was mouthful!  I'm also entering this in Decorate to Celebrate's Challenge #4.  Go check them out at www.decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Gatefold Invitations

Hello Crafty friends!
I know I haven't been posting lately.  Very busy with my boys at home and I have been crafting like mad during the weeee hours of the night. I haven't been on the computer much only to catch up on my blogs or check my email.

Here is a gatefold invitation I made for my best friend's daughter's birthday. (that's a tongue twister!)  I have seen gatefold cards before and always wanted to make one but never got around to doing them until now.  I will admit.  This is NOT my original design.  My friend found it on Three Kids Party Shop.  They're on Etsy.

Items used:
Bazzill Berry Blush cardstock
Black Cardstock/plain and textured
DCWV Glitter stack (black and pink)
White and Black polk-a-dot paper (not sure what brand)
Tags Bags Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge (base of card)
Forever Young Cartridge - (silhouette of girl(Barbie)
Gypsy Font (Barbie)
Martha Stewart score board
Computer

I used the Gypsy to alter  a tag and set the size to 7.45" x 10".  This ends up cutting at approximately 7" by an exact 10 inches.  I then scored it at 2.5 and 7.5 and folded the flaps in.  I printed out the invitation information from my computer and matted it with a black piece of cardstock.  The polk-a-dot paper is cut at 1 1/2" and the black band is cut at 2" x 11".  Here are the photos.

Happy Crafting!

Decorative Letter

Hello!
I hope you're having a great week.  here's a letter I bought from Michael's a while back ago.  My cousin is having a baby in a couple of weeks and I thought it would make for a nice addition to the room.  I'm also going to be decorating the letters to the rest of her name.  I've them sitting there for a couple of months and haven't done much with them.
First thing I did was paint it pink (can you guess what she's having?)
Then I used Nana's Paper Stack for the patterned paper.  Both ribbons are from my stash.  The butterfly is from Gypsy Wanderings cartridge, the tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and the sentiment is from Pink by Design. Check out the store.  It has great stuff.   This stamp is from the January stamp of the month called Fly Away With Me.  Added a couple flowers from my stash, stickles and voila!

Happy Sunday! Birthday Card using just my stash.

Hello everyone! As most of you know.  I'm on this mission to only use things from my stash.  (unless I need shopping therapy) Just wanted to share with you a quick card and envelope that I made.  Christina from Creations with Christina has a series of tutorials using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  Inspired by all the cute things she made I decided to put mine to use.  Enjoy!!  Have a great day!!!

swirl stamp is from inkadinkadoo.  Sentiment is the $1.00 section of Michaels

I cut the envelope is from the TBBM cartridge.  I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the envelope. (Divine Swirls folder)  Then I used Ranger Distress Inks (Black Soot) to make the swirls pop.  I added the red ribbon on top, the tag and voila! 

The card fits nice and snug in the envelope.  I also included a gift card to DSW.
