Connie Can Crop's Birthday Bash Blog Hop - Blog Candy

 

Hello Friends -

Welcome to Connie Can Crop's Birthday Bash Blog Hop!

I hope you have had a great week!

Welcome if you have not stopped by the Tool Shed before! Please become a follower and let me know you were here.

This is a one day blog hop.  Please leave a comment to encourage all fabulous crafty friends to continue sharing their ideas and creations.

Since I released this Birthday Wishes Stamp Set for March, it worked out perfectly with this hop!  So leave me a comment and be a follower for your chance to win my BLOG CANDY {a Birthday Wishes Stamp Set}!!  And an extra chance if you follow me here on Face Book.

I was talking to my sister on the phone while I was arranging the card and waiting for the Stickles to dry.  I told her that this card does not look at all like what I had in mind when I started it.  It just evolved into this because of the plaid paper.  In my head it was to be in greens!

And for once I thought to add the Stickles *before* I stuck the image to the card!  You know what I mean . . . you have it all in place and decide to add the Stickles and then there is an air bubble and blah there goes a big glob of Stickles across the image.  I even thought to start the Stickles on a piece of scrap paper too - see I can be smart if I am making a card in the afternoon and not in the middle of the night!

The double pink layers under the cake are the same cardstock, just the flat side and the textured side.

This is a 4.25" x 5.5" card.
