Is this not CUTE?
I was so happy with it! It was for Alexa’s friends birthday party-her name is Allyson. She just turned 9, and I thought Alexa’s set would be PERFECT!!!!!
The colors were inspired by the wrapping paper and bag I purchased at Target-they were Orchid and Gable Green.
I wanted to add some more color and a little interest.
I remembered this StranoRibbon I had (one of my fav. stripped ones called Hazel) . I LOVE how its attached, and gives it some added interest.
It also helped me expand my color pallet. I always find if you stick with 2 main colors, then add some coordinating patterned paper or ribbon, will easily help guide you to subtly add some other great coordinating colors, without over-doing it.
Alexa’s set is perfect for ANY fun and funky combo 😀
The sentiment is a sneak peek at a UPCOMING-New Release by Lizzie Anne (sorry but it was VITAL to the perfect touch for this card, so TRY to forget you saw it yet! It will be a must have BTW!) that coordinated and added just the right words and size needed.
I also used a flower punch by EK Success (just like the SU! one), and the bloom dots embossing folder-which I also LOVE.
I had to add an initial too-so used my cuttlebug Red Tag Alpha, and some dazzling diamonds. Gotta have some BLING!!!!!
Well, thats it for today. Tomorrow I get to take Amber and some classmate’s of her to the Circus!!! I cannot wait.
Of, course now that I learned to pre-post I will have some eye candy for you before I go.
I have some happy mail that Im hoping will greet me when I get home 😀
Enjoy the day-

I learn a new trick everyday from your beautiful art. Thanks for sharing.
This is soo cute! You know you have TOO many stamps when you clean up your stamping space and find a set you havent even mounted!LOL! I bought Alexas set LAST year and ran out of EZ mount and put it back until I ordered some more. I found the set yesterday!
It turned out great!! I love it.
How nice!! Love everything about it,especially the cutout flowers and then you added the bling! Cool!!
Super cute Lauren. I love that sentiment too. Hmmm, looks like it’ll be a vital part of my collection too.
This is so awesome! I love the “A” with some sparkle. So how was the circus? Exactly how many preschoolers did you take? You’re an adventurous girl.
This is so cute! I love the punched flowers to reveal the bling, and glitterfied monogram!
