Happy 1ST Birthday to Paper Maniac

If you arrived here from Stephanie’s blog,  you are on the right track. If not, go back to the Paper Maniac Store blog so you don’t miss any of the great inspiration.

It is Birthday Time and we are celebrating. I made a couple of things to celebrate.  All products are from
Paper Maniac.

The first a set of invitations.  I made these invitations using the Impressive Obsession card and I paper pieced using the Kaisercraft - Hippy Girl.

 

The second items are thank you tags.  I used the die cuts from the Kaisercraft - Hippy Girl.  They make great tags.

Last but not least is a card using KaiserCraft - Hippy Girl.
I embossed the balloons and used a dauber for coloring the background.

Blooming

Here is a card I made using on of my unity kits of the month.  I cut out the ladybugs to add some interest.  I think I should have used some flower soft for the grass for some texture. I did some paper piecing for the flowers. 

Paper Piecing

I really like paper piecing now that I got my scissors sharp.  I love the Hero Arts butterflies because they lend themselves to the paper piecing.

Here is a closeup of the butterfly. 

I love the hero arts stamps because they have the stamped image on the backside of the stamp.  It makes it easier to stamp Backside of the Stamp Stamp

Stamps:	Hero Arts
Paper_	Basic Grey – Kioshi paper pad

Lollipops

Quick photo.  I am a bit tired this afternoon.  Going to take a nap.  
I am trying to get more comfortable with sponging.

I believe the paper so from Basic Grey and stamp is Unity.
