Cupcake Birthday Card

Good evening everyone! TGIF!! I don't know about you, but I had one heck of a week. Boy was I glad to be able to sneak away into my office tonight. (Even if it was at 11pm!) Of course, this was after our shopping trip to Walmart to get 50 cent Washi. lol

Anyway, so tomorrow (or technically today I guess) is my mother-in-law's birthday. I know, I know, I was cutting it awfully short to just now be making her a card. However, please refer back to the beginning of the post. :)

I was so excited about this card. Not only did I just randomly find the coordinating paper (I'm a paper whore), but I got to use my penny Michael's pearls. Could there be a better ending to the day? I hope you all enjoy this card as much as I have!

Dino-Mite

I sat down last night needing some "mommy time." My four-year-old son had a temper tantrum, and my husband was out of town. Once I got my son calmed down, I was more than ready to make something. So, I sat down at my desk and thought I should make my son his Valentine's Day card.

I searched my library of Cricut cartridges, and I decided to use one of my favorites.... Create-A-Critter. I cut the dinosaur and words I wanted, and after glueing them on decided it just didn't look like a Valentine's Day card. Well, thanks to the help of some wonderful, crafty ladies I know, I now have a birthday card to have on hand. Hope you enjoy!

Homemade Paper
Pop Dots
Stickles
Cardstock - black, bright green, orange, light green, white, yellow, lime green

I used my Cricut Expression to cut the dinosaur from Create-A-Critter. I cut a black shadow and all the pieces for Dino2 at 3 inches. I cut my homemade paper at 4.75x6.75. The Dino Mite saying was cut from Create-A-Critter at 3 inches. The word you're was cut from Alphalicious (you're invited) at 2 inches. The grass was cut at 1 inch from Mickey & Friends. The party hat was cut from Celebrations (hat 4) at 1.5 inches. I used the pop dots to make the dinosaur stand out, and the stickles on the Dino Mite saying.

I just want to say a BIG thank you to my facebook friends for their ideas to help me make this card what it is. :)
