Sweet Treats for a Sweet Friend

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend! I know that I sure had an exhausting one, but it was nonetheless fabulous :) We did quite the bit of snow here in Vancouver yesterday, but of course the rain has washed away the majority of it all by now. Hopefully the snow/ice will melt away for you all soon, wherever that may be!

So I just wanted to do a quick post for you all today. My friend celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday night, and in her culture, 21 is a huge milestone. We all had tons of fun dancing the night away at a latino restaurant. This friend of mine LOVES sweets, and she is just the sweetest thing ever. Coincidence? I think not. :) I made this card for her back in December, during my break, and she finally received it, so here it is!

 Recipe:

•  Wild Card Cart for cake stand and cover
• Sweet Treats Cartridge for cupcakes
• Pink By Design Love Always
• DCWV Shimmer Stack
• White Gelly Roll Pen
• Cinnamon Stickles
• Embellishments
• Glue Dots
• Acetate

This is a 5 x 5 card. I cut two pieces of 'glass' out of acetate and used tons of glue dots to adhere the cupcakes to the acetate, and the acetate to my base. I didn't want to hold my two pieces of 'glass' together with glue dots so I decided to use glue...bad idea!! It would be much better to pull out the sewing machine and stitch the two together! Inside the card, I used the Pink By Design Love Always stamp set to stamp "to a sweet friend."

We all know sweet people in our lives. Don't forget to acknowledge them for it! I hope this inspires you to do something sweet for a sweet someone! ;)


Until next time's treasures,

So today is Guest Designer Day over at pinkcricut.com! Please do make sure to view the original post on Sarah's blog! : ) I'm super thrilled to share a project with you, showcasing Sarah's phenomenal line of Pink By Design Stamps! Sarah was the one who gave me the final push to start a blog, so welcome everyone!

The project for you today was for my Valentine. I decided to wrap his gifts, and decorate the packaging to coordinate with the card that I had made him -- I made the card back in December during my break between semesters since I knew that during the school semester I would, unfortunately, not have the time to do much crafting. :( The card is what I submitted for Sarah's Pink By Design Team Call. The gift wrapping is pretty simple and I had to keep it simple cuz it was a super hectic week for me at school! 

Let's begin! Sarah's stamps are extremely versatile - I used them for a card and tags for today's post but of course they can be used for a number of different projects.

For my first project, a gift bag:
