It is New Year’s Eve and I am enjoying a quiet evening at home. Well, not really quiet – lots of fireworks going off around us and my poor dog is shaking at my side. Thought I would add a quick card before the year ends.
Earlier this month I created a card for our Stamp Club Swap with the theme of child’s birthday. Since I had to make twelve of these for the swap, I kept it fairly simple. Yesterday was both my girls’ birthday (go here for the details on this) so I decided to revamp this card and make them something a little more detailed and sparkly.
I used Swirl Cupcake and You're a Sweetie!, both from Sparkle N Sprinkle. These can be purchased individually or together is Set 374 - Sweet Treats. I stamped them on a white circle and then layered them on a scalloped circle cut out of sticker paper using a Spellbinder die. I added Lacy Lilac glitter on both the scalloped circle edges and also on strips of "Tear-ific" Tape.
Happy Birthday, girls!!!

Both versions of this card are fab! I totally get making it simple when swapping. I remember at time our club had a swap and we had to make 22. I was still making cards right up until I had to go to the meeting! Thanks for sharing both of these with us at Top Tip Tuesday. :)
Hi Marie, Love all your creations. Hope to see you soon for a crafting visit.
