Cheery Happy Birthday Card

Hi, I made a little card today that I wanted to share with you! I used 2 fabulous

products on this card that I will share links to also :)
Here is the card:

Unfortunately as usual I am behind the times in using 1 of my cut files and the puppy is no longer available

but Melissa at KaDoodle Bug Designs has so many more adorable files available

so be sure to check out her shop. Here is the link:

KaDoodle Bug Designs

The base of the card itself is available in the Silhouette Store. and is a layered Scalloped card.

On the top scallop I threaded 3 Girl Jam ribbon in Cherry Lipstick.

This ribbon is amazing and I can't get enough of it!! Here is a link to 3 Girl Jam:

3 Girl Jam

The cut file I loved as is and didn't add my usual bling. I did faux stitch it with a white gel pen and did the same to the card base. This card was so easy to do with the awesome cut file and fab ribbon!!! The paper is BoBunny Double Dot

You should have come from Pinque Peacock if you didn't please start there.
Now before we get to the Great hop prize here is the picture of my Hop project!

I chose to do a wedding layout that is just waiting for my nieces wedding picture.
I of course started with my Pinque Peacock!!!

 We have 2 Fabric Splendid Swirls one in Black with the red polka dots and 1 pure white! Then we have that cute polka dot fabric Covered Button and then we pull it all together with a fabulous
Beaded Stick Pin. Now who couldn't build a project around all of this fabulous product!!!
Then I found this great wedding dress print and cut from Jessica weible illustrations. It was a freebie but is still available on her site!! The trims I used are loose trims I had on hand and I have no idea which companies they may be from. The small roses and the flourish are Prima. The ribbon around the waist of the gown is 3 girl jam. The 3 girl jam ribbon is so easy to work with I love it!
I embossed the gown and photo mat with a Cricut Cuttle Bug Folder it is a Anna Griffin design that is called Poppy. It is a large folder and I love it. I inked the edges of the gown with a black ink pad then again in silver. Now this is our little secret because I told the Queen Peacock that no stickles were involved... totally forgot I used it on the hanger... What can I say there has to be a crazy stickles girl in every group right :)
Well I think I covered everything now you need to follow all the rules outlined below to win this uber exciting prize package! Next up is the Fabulous MARY

Beauty with Pinque Peacock

Hi everyone! Today is my day to post for Pinque Peacock..

Today I have a Scrapbook page for you. I scrapped my Nieces Senior picture.

She graduated this year and will be going off to college this next school year. So I wanted this page to be full of beautiful things to match this incredible young ladies beauty. She is beautiful inside and out.

So I grabbed my boxes of Pinque! Here is the first sneak peek.

 One of the reasons I love Pinque Peacock is because it is so versatile. I used a beautiful Beaded Stick Pin and a small piece of netting and made the dragonfly on the upper right of this pic. Did you know you can order the Elegant Florals with or without a center? I normally purchase mine with out the center embellishment because then I can add my own to change the whole look of the flower! You can see the pretty yellow and white elegant floral and that pretty Pink one.. Well I added a blingy victorian type center to it. Now look at that amazing  Hot Pink and Cream Elegant Loop De Loop Flower. It is perfect with that Large Rhinestone Center. I wanted Elegant and I got it with Pinque peacock.

Here is the next close up:

I also love the Unique Made to Order Buttons the pretty blue one in the lower right is a 1.5 inch and then I added the black heart embellishment to it. They also come in a 3/4 inch. You can get them as a flat back or as a standard back Button. The matching ribbon is from 3 girl jam and I love the stuff it is amazing to work with.

Now here is the full picture of my project

Be sure to visit Pinque Peacock for beautiful unique embellishments!

Jessica even does special orders :)

Thank-you for stopping in today!!

Now on to my Birthday Card:)
Here is my card closed:

Now here it is open

This was my first time ever Easel card! Learning the fold was easy but trying to figure out what to do with it after that was the challenge.  I started with a pale orange shimmer cardstock from A Muse Studio. Then added the lily cardstock to the base.

I added the birthday die cut then used the Happy sliders and added them to the deep red thin ribbon.

On top I used 2 Prima Butterfly drops. The ribbon I had on hand. I tied the bow using the 3 girl jam bow maker! I love that thing.

The flowers I made with McGill punches Ink and stickles. I then added the Dream Tag and the clear flourish to the back.
Here is a link to the tutorial on how to make the lillies! Shelley Toney has great tutorials

So that is my project in a nut shell. Thank-you for stopping by.
