FUN Birthday Wishes!

Hello, everyone! Brianna here from Happy Scrapper. I have recently been selling my creations at my place of work and my customers have been requesting birthday cards, so for this card, that's what I focused on.

Well, I have one down in the books, now I just have a bunch more to create lol. I used the adorable Juggling Clown Cutting Files. You can find him in the $0.99 section of the store.

I used the print and cut feature in my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition to cut out this adorable little guy. I decided to add some shading/shadowing to his face using my IG1 Spectrum Noir marker. I wanted to add more dimension to him, so I added some homemade enamel dots, for his juggling balls (Thanks for the idea, Lisa) :) I also added some glossy accents to his nose and popped up and layered some elements on him.

I have been hoarding these big metal letters for a while now and thought this card would be perfect for them. My sentiment is from Scrappy Mom Stamps and is called Simple Sentiments. I finished it up by adding some ribbon, Lemonade Yellow Timeless Twine, and a button from my stash.

I hope you all enjoy my fun birthday card and thank you for stopping by!!

PPPR & SMS Cross-Promo Hop

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) and Scrappy Moms Stamps (SMS) Cross-Promo Blog Hop. We have all sorts of fun projects to share with you today that combine the images of PPPR with the stamps of SMS. Be sure to stop by each and every blog and leave a comment. You don't want to miss any of the amazing projects, and you could win a gift certificate to PPPR or a stamp set of your choice from SMS.

I decided to create two projects for the hop. I had some new Halloween files I REALLY wanted to use, and I just got a fun set of Halloween stamps from Scrappy Moms. Here's what I created:

This little center step card is sized so it will fit in an A2 sized envelope. I thought this Brew up Some Fun sentiment was perfect for this cauldron. I love how cute the sentiment is, too! Here are the goodies I used for this card:

Sentiment: SMS Love at First Bite Stamp Set

Cauldron: PPPR Little Witches Cutting Files

Potion Bottles: PPPR Potion Bottles Cutting Files

Skull: PPPR Haunted Graveyard Cutting Files

Card Base: PPPR Center Step Card

Background Patterns: PPPR All Hallows Eve Pattern Pack Digital Papers

Here's a side view of the card:

I don't know if you can tell from the photos, but I used the print-and-cut feature to create the "background" for the side panels. The PPPR SVG files are in full color, so you can use them as clip art in any program that opens SVGs. So, I just layered the digital paper, some brown rectangles for shelves (that I drew in the Sil. Studio Software), and the potion bottles. Then, I printed the entire rectangle, white border and all, in one piece and had my Cameo cut around it. That way, I didn't have to worry about the impossible job of paper piecing all of those little bottles. I also cut the pattern for the front panel in the same way. Then, I paper pieced the cauldron using colored card stock.

Here's a close-up of the details. I added some stick-on jewels to the cauldron, some Glossy Accents to the potion bottles, and a pretty ribbon, and my card was all done.

I also created this little card, which can fit in a 6x6 inch square envelope. Here's what I used for this card:

Sentiment: SMS Love at First Bite Stamp Set

Flying Witch: PPPR Little Witches Cutting Files

Full Moon: PPPR Haunted Scenery Cutting Files.

Face: Peachy Keen March 2013 SOTM

I added a Spellbinders label, some printed paper from my stash, and some pretty ribbon to finish off the card.
