Birthday card for Niece

My little niece is turning eight today! In honor of her birthday, I made her a card. I might have overdone it a bit on all the tools that I used to make it, but I had a lot of fun doing it and used more tools than I thought was humanly possible.



The Happy birthday brad. I used the iTop brad maker w/ a 23mm brad, cut out the happy birthday paper using the 23mm paper punch, and affixed it to my card using the tabs in the back.

This is the tag that pulls out of the pocket in the back of the card. I used Versamark Ink and Positively Pink Ink then heat embossed it. I realize now that I should've used a different color ink because it's really very pale. I then punch a hole through the white card stock and the ribbon and attached the butterfly brad.

I cut this cupcake using the Celebrations cartridge from Cricut. Once cut, I popped the blue icing up with pop dots. I then affixed iRock bling to the cupcake, making it shiny. I love the iRock tool, it's so cool that you don't have to mess around with glue!

This is the completely card. All different kinds of paper used!
