This is my first entry for Cards Blog Challenge ... theme: Cards with Kites. I used PTI for the paper and stamps for this card, a little twine and floss for the kite and Martha Stewart Icicle punch for the grass.

Cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes
My friend gave me the idea of making a bunch of birthday cards so if I need one in a hurry I have one ready. I decided to make several quick and simple cupcake cards and at the same time try to hone my stamping (I still need a lot of practice!) and try out my copics (needs a lot of practice too!). I used the same cupcake stamp and colored it with 2 shades (one light and a medium) of brown and the selected color. I used a circle and scallop punch to frame all the cupcakes and added a similar colored button with twine on one side to give it a little dimensione.
This card is my favorite among this set. I used a brown card stock as base, PTI's Raspberry Fizz as a layering card stock and a strip of PTI's Dotty Biscotti paper pack. I added a strip of ruffled ribbon under the cupcake to finish it off.
On this card I used a background wood grain stamp with Versamark and punched a circle a little bit bigger than the scallop on one corner. I added some twine to give it a little detail. I used PTI's Enchanted Evening as the card base and Spring Rain as the layering card stock.
This card is inspired by PTI's July release. I created the library card on Word and printed in on a cream card stock. I used EK Success spiral notebook edge puncher on the top side and Cutter's Bee bug piercing tool to mimic a torn spiral notebook page. I used PTI's Berry Sorbet (I'm loving this color!) as the card base and a strip of PTI's Dotty Biscotti (love this line too! ... well if you haven't noticed I'm a big PTI fan =D) paper pack.
On this card I tried to make my own background so I got 2 star stamp with varying size and stamped it with Versamark. I stitched around the border and added a twill ribbon before attaching the cupcake. I used PTI's white card stock as base and Plum Pudding as the layering card stock.
Again I tried making my own background this time with 2 slightly different size circles (I used the circles from PTI's Anniversary set) and stamped it with Versamark. I stitched around the border and added a twill ribbon before attaching the cupcake. I used a brown card stock as base and Pure Poppy as the layering card stock.
I used a postage stamp from Unity Stamps with Versamark to create the background and layered PTI's Sweet Blush with a brown card stock. I used PTI's Sweet Blush again as the card base. I'm not too happy with this one I think it still needs something to finish it off.
This is the smallest card among the group. I also tried making a 2 toned background on this one using an older Martha Stewart stamp set. I added a strip of white twill ribbon to cover some imperfection on my stamping =D.
My other favorite! I used PTI's Kraft card stock as base and Summer Sunrise as the layering paper. I stamped it with PTI's Polka Dot Basic II with Versamark to create the background and added a strip of ruffled ribbon.

More Felt!
I'm really digging felt as an embellishment. I can't stay away from them but I must say paper is still my first love =D. Here's a couple more cards with felt using a not so conventional color schemes. Everything is pretty much PTI products.

Fun with Felt
I started playing with felt recently and created these flowers using a flower die cut from sizzix. I just used the cheap felt from M so its very fibrous so the simpler the flower design the better.
The first fluffy felt flower was inspired from Betsy Veldman's flower tutorial and the notebook page was inspired by Dawn McVey's and Nicole Heady's PTI countdown for July.
Pink and Purple
My little girl's birthday is coming soon and she wants a pink and purple birthday ... still undecided if she wants fairies, butterflies or bears. I've been playing around with these colors and came up with a few cards.
