Happy Purrthday

Enough sympathy card posts for now.

It's time to move on to sharing the half dozen cards

I made over the weekend of World Card Making Day/Digital Scrapbook Day !

I'll start with this adorable swing card with cute partying cat images.

I found this stamp set with matching dies at a yard sale recently. 

New, never used, until now when I made this card !

It is by Lawn Fawn and called Meow You Doin'.

I also used a Flip It card die from Sizzix

The images are stamped on water color paper

then colored with ink from my dye ink pads 

using an aqua painter. 

They are die cut then popped up on dimensionals.

All inks and papers were from Stampin' Up!

The stitched circle die is from The Stamps of Life.

Bonus Project:

a coordinating "candle holder cake topper"!

Topper stuck in a slice of home made New York style cheesecake

I made for the birthday girl.

I didn't really want to poke 28 candles into the

top of the pretty cheesecake, so I made this single

candle holder/topper for her slice.

This also tells me when looking back at the photos

in the future that it was her 28th birthday

and

it kept germs from being spread to the rest of the cake

as she blew out the single candle on her slice ;)

If you are interested, here is the recipe I used.

It turned out beautifully and was delicious. 

Thanks for looking =)
