Hi Crafty Friends,

As you already know I’m guest designing from Pretty Pink Posh this month! And I just couldn’t stop playing with all the new goodies!

1. Know I was going to use the New Big Celebration. Die cut out the Cupcake wrapper, flag, blueberries( Bo6), Stick: MFT Cornflower

Strawberry, sunglasses and two sticks: Lawn Fawn Barn Door.

2. Inside of the sunglasses: Halograpgh Cardstock

3. Firework burst, mini stars, and flame of Firework: Metalic Gold cardstock. The top of the firework is Silver

4. USA and Firework was cut from White and simple coloring with my COPICs. B06,04,02, R29,27,24

5. Top of the cupcake: SSS Cream adding Distress Oxide remaining on my Brown brush. More then likely Antique Linen because I use it a lot for shading. In the topping lines I used E40 to enhance them.

6. Die cut out the small dots for the wrapper from the LF Barn Door.

7. Strawberry Stem is from Hero Hues- Meadow cardstock.

8. Started off with the Half Star Stencil and a panel of Neenah Solar Crest White measuring 4.25 X 5.5 inches Horizontal placing on top of my Waffle Flower grip mat. With Layer A laid on top and used SSS Pawsitively Ink-Cadette and Watermelon. With the remaining ink on the blue brush I went over the panel to tone down the white.

9. Place it in the splatter box I added drops of Juniper Berry and YuleTide Mica Spray. After I shook them removed the spray nozzle and put a Watercoloring brush in so I could do the drops and not spray. After it was dry, which you can hit with a heat gun.

10. Then I added water to the Blue Gold Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. Swirled the brush in it and then Splattered away!

11. Using the previously released Stitched Strips I die cut out from MFT Cornflower, Lawn Fawn- Barn Door, and White cardstock from stash.

12. Die cut out the Largest Eyelet Square Die from White cardstock.

13. Adhere the stars and red dots to the Cupcake wrapper, halographic to the sunglasses with Bearly Arts glue. Attach the fireworks and the USA flag to the sticks. Add 3D foam squares behind the strawberries, Sunglasses,Firework, burst, and blueberries.

14. Adhere the stripes to the middle of the Half Star Panel, then add on top in the center the Eyelet Square. Place the wrapper and topping on Top. With a poking tool lift the topping the slide in the sticks for the flag, burst and firework.

15. White heat emboss Celebrate from Birthday Scripts then use their coordinating Birthday Script dies and ran through my Gemini Junior. Add foam squares to the back.

16. Remove the backings to the foam and adhere in place.

17. Last thing was adding the red Stars with Bearly Arts glue.

Thanks for stopping by,
