Welcome to the Dusty Durango Path of the Royal Blog Tour. You are currently located at Stop Number 2.
Hi - welcome to my blog! I'm so glad to be a stop on this great Blog Tour - I hope you enjoy what you've been seeing so far! I'm so happy to feature the stamp set Party Hearty with you on this stop!
I love making birthday cards and since we just recently had a birthday in our house it was sooo fun to play with this stamp set for the blog tour. My birthday girls favorite color is Pink so I started with that and then just let the creativity flow!
Card uses: Cardstock- Regal Rose, Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White; Ink-Old Olive, Real Red, Regal Rose; Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Clips Assortment, Silver Brads
For my next work of heart I just HAD to use some glitter... I love love love Glitter in case you didnt know..... it's just such a great embellishment and is honestly pretty inexpensive! Besides, who doesn't like something shiny in their life right?!
I use Dazzling Diamonds glitter mixed in with Crystal Effects to "frost" my cupcakes on this one! They look so YUMMY in person! It's hard to tell in my photo (and I just couldn't get a good angle) but the cupcakes circles are raised up with Stampin Dimensionals too so they practically jump into your mouth!
Supplies used: Cardstock: Regal Rose, Real Red, Old Olive, Summer Sun, Whisper White; Inks: Summer Sun, Regal Rose, Olive Olive, Creamy Caramel; Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Paper Piercer & Mat Set, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, Stampin Dimensionals
Here is a close up of those yummy cupcakes and paper piercing....
And as a bonus - here is the PERFECT goody treat bag!
This great treat bag uses our Sizzix Curly Label Movers & Shapers Die for the Big Shot
I saw this treat bag shared by a fellow demonstrator and just HAD to use her idea to create a treat bag using Party Hearty (hers was made for wedding favors and was totally elegant looking)!
