Birthday Card - Part 1

Hi, Stampers! I attended a surprise party of my niece and made her 2 cards. Here is one of them. She likes these colors so I tried to use it around the cards. She loved them. Funny, because I wanted to put the cupcake image on the center but ended up putting it on the side.. I had to cover an image I stamped earlier..hahahah. But to my surprise, it came out fine...hehe.

STAMPS: Crazy for Cupcakes (one of my favorite stamps ever)
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, Summer Sun, Chocolate Chip Brown, Pumpkin Pie (you may use Tangerine Tango)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss
Tools: Eyelet Edge Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Texturz Template SU#1, Watercolor pencil, Blender Pens
Other Details: Used Grosgrain Ribbon - So Saffron (SAB). Also used dimensionals behind the cupcake.

Hello, Stampers! Yesterday, a friend of mine was dropping by and I would like to thank her for lending me her extra cutter.

Anyway, I took the time to visually instruct you to make them. Have FUN!!!

TOOLS: Big Shot Texturz Template SU Background#1, Circle Scissors Plus (for the purse flap - set at 5-3/4"). Used Eyelet Edge Punch and the Wide Oval Punch for the Thank You cards.

Instructions:
Body Purse measure- 5-3/4" x 10-3/4"
Scored- 4-1/2" and 6-1/4".
Use Texturz Template SU Background to emboss CS.

Scored at 3 sides at - 3/8"
Scored at the middle at - 1-1/4"
Scored from corner to a point in the middle so it accurately folds in the bag's base.

Adhere the 3/8" scores to the body of the bag


Flap Measures - 4-1/4" x 5-3/4"
