Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

Today's share is a fun happy INTERACTIVE card - and the great thing is that it comes together so fast with the Circle Card Thinlits! The fun pattern paper is from the Cherry on Top 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Stack which will be retiring on 31st May 2016 - I am so going to miss it!!! Did you notice the candles? Made with the also retiring Cherry On Top Designer Washi Tape - gotta love Stampin' Up for well co-ordinated products. Finally can you guess how I got the "flames"? The wing from the Bird Builder Punch! I am sad that this well loved, versatile punch will also be retiring at the end of May - sob sob. When you open the card, the circle flips and you see a different message on the other side of the circle. How fun is that! This "fancy fold" card comes together in no time at all with the Circle Card Thinlits! The sad thing is that these Thinlits dies (the set comes with a few dies) will also be retiring on 31st May. But the GREAT news is that...

Just a quick card today, which teamed together the retired Designer Series Paper and the current Sprinkles of Life stamp set. A great way to use up the DSP hoards! Anyway, we have a Mr 4 year old in the family now - everyone is growing up!!!

Today's card is a CASE of a card made by my fellow demonstrator friend who is also a Artisan Design Team member, Susan Wong. Here is the fun original card. I do like the way the card turned out even with all the changes, which started from one deviation: I chose to use the new Watermelon Wonder colour for the card base! Since it is such a bold colour, I decided not to mat the DSP layer (which is from the Cherry on Top DSP stack). Also, I felt the white bakers twine worked better than the linen thread against that bold colour. I am submitting this card in this week's CASology #155 challenge : The star of the show is of course the Sprinkles of Life stamp set. Not only does it have 22 photopolymer stamps in this set, and you can have so much fun with the images and sentiments, this stamp set also co-ordinates with the Tree Builder punch which is just awesome! The apple/cherry and teeny flower and the cupcake top on the card above are punched out from the punch. Sprin...
