Friendly Card Making

I got a wonderful Friends Card Kit from Annie's Attic.

I learned how to use brads, and a glue pen with super fin glitter.

This was also my first try at randomly stamping the cardstock to make

it look like pretty designer paper..

I'm still not sold on using card kits, and following their instructions.

I did have fun making the tag to add to the front of the card.

Sweet Treats Cake & Flower Card

I love Blog surfing, as well as surfing YouTube to find inspiration for my paper creations. In my travels on YouTube, I came across LiveLoveandSCRAP.... Well, let me tell you, she has some wonderful videos, and an awesome Blog too. Live Love and SCRAP! Pleas go check out her blog... I definitely see myself making SEVERAL variations of this card... all cuts are from Sweet Treats... the icing across the top of the cake layers was done by cutting the trim for the cake plate 3 times, and trimming it down to fit. This card was also my first try at using my white gel pens to accent my cuts, and using glossy accents t make the centers of the flowers "pop". I really tried to tie a gorgeous bow on the cake... yeah that just didn't work out this time. My white paper layer was done with some silver embossing powder and my white pigment ink. I just didn't have any pretty white designer paper.
