Birthday Card Class Samples

I am teaching 3 classes in January. The first one is the Pocketful of Memories. The other 2 are card classes.

Here are 2 of the 5 cards I will be teaching in my Happy Birthday card class. For the first one I used a few different stamp sets. I believe the tree branches and leaves are from a Hero Arts set I have, the bird and nest are from Crafty Secrets set called Fairyland. For the background I used cuttlebug embossing folder Forest Branches. The image has been colored in with watercolor pencils. My friend Marie sent me a sample picture of an easel card the other day, and I decided to try one for the class. I love this cupcake from my new cricut solutions cartridge Home Decor. The bazzill card stock is Artesian Pool & French Vanilla. The patterned paper is by October Afternoon ( I just love their new lines). I put some of the sookwang double sided tape on my paper before I cut out the frosting for the cupcake. After I cut it out I removed the backing and added blue fun flock to make the frosting fuzzy. The cupcake is popped up with 3d dots.
