Playing with (Pink) Poison

I recently got two sets from Pink Poison stamps and I’m having fun trying them out. The cupcake images looked great, so I had to add them to my collection. And, I’m a big fan of bunnies (back from my childhood days), so I had to have the Lucky Bunnies set, too. It’s so cute!

I used Taylor's Cupcake Challenge sketch for this bright card using, of course, cupcakes. When I first saw this sketch, I was a little intimidated by all of the circles, but I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.

I stamped the small cupcake image on a piece of white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. I embellished it with some Stickles, too.

I wanted to make a cheerful looking birthday card so I paired the colored cupcake image with bright, bold patterned papers from a My Mind's Eye paper pack. I mixed spots and stripes for a fun look. My Nestabilities circle dies made cutting out all of the circles quick and easy.

I added the sentiment in bold brown ink directly on the largest patterned circle, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position it to fit on the circle. I used two bright green brads (what other use would I find for brads so bright?!!) to draw attention to the sentiment.

Materials Used:
Cupcake stamp set (Pink Poison Stamps); white cardstock (Xerox); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic Ciao); Yellow and Cotton Candy Stickles (Ranger); Lemon Tart Summer Sunrise, and Sweet Blush cardstock, Sweet Blush stitched grosgrain ribbon (Papertrey Ink); patterned paper (My Mind's Eye); circle and scalloped circle dies (Nestabilities); Chocolate Chip Classic ink, dimensionals (Stampin' Up!); green brads (Making Memories);

Here’s my first card using the Lucky Bunnies set. Here, I colored the rabbit image with Copic markers and embellished the flower with some Spica glitter pen and a self-adhesive rhinestone.

I paired the rabbit image with a piece of floral paper from Memory Box. I layered this panel on a Pink Pirouette cardfront. Where the panel meets the cardstock is covered with a strip of wide pink grosgrain ribbon. I placed the colored image in the center of the ribbon, overlapping the patterned panel. I added a pair of pink self-adhesive rhinestones to frame the image.

For this one, I wanted a card that I could use for a child’s birthday card, and not too girlie in case I decided to give it to a little boy. That’s what drove my red and blue color scheme. Again, I colored the rabbit image with Copic markers. I stamped the balloon a second time on a scrap of cardstock, colored the image and trimmed around it, then attached it to the image panel with a dimensional.

I created a striped panel for the cardfront using scraps of solid and patterned papers. I layered the matted rabbit image over this panel using dimensionals. The upper right corner of the image looked a little too empty, so I added a bright blue photo corner, embellished with dimensionals, to finish the card.
