HAPPY Birthday CTS#105

I'm so HAPPY that Stampin' Up! gave us some more thinlet words! I first tried them out with the Wondrous Wreath set, and now I'm hooked on the Hello You Thinlets.
The sketch at Case This Sketch is perfect to show off this large word to it's best advantage. I grabbed the Sweet Taffy DSP to try some different colours, and although I've been a big fan of Blackberry Bliss, it was fun to revisit Rich Razzleberry, which used to be a favourite. The big spot is perfect and the striped paper provided the rest of the palette for this birthday card. The new stamp set Celebrate Today provided the 'birthday'.

You can only just glimpse the inside greeting, but it's "you can never have too much happy" from Yippee-Skippee. To my way of thinking, it is absolutely perfect for this big HAPPY greeting, and the font is almost the same.

How do you think you would use this sketch?

Cheers,
Rachel

Sweet Taffy Cupcake CTS#98

I cut into some more of the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper to make this sweet birthday card. It's such a fun sketch this week at CAS(E) This Sketch. Do I say that every week? They just kick-start my thought process so perfectly, and I used the patterned paper for colour inspiration.

Actually, I did make a small mistake thinking the paper used Strawberry Slush, when it is Melon Mambo - ooops! Not too serious really, and the Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise are correct.

I used the Cupcake Builder Punch with card for the patty pan, scored at regular intervals and it just looks so realistic. The icing is punched from one of the patterned papers.

Gorgeous Grunge was still out on my work table and made perfect 'sprinkles' around while Boys Will Be Boys provided the Birthday Greeting. I had no idea how much I was going to love that font, it's so clean and crisp.
