Summer Mood Party Cards with Katherine

Hello everyone, it's Katherine with some really fun cascade cards, perfect for any party.  I've used a mixture of Summer Mood and also the Essential paper collection too.

I used a mixture of the Fly Away and Cupcakes dies, teaming them with Summer Mood and also lots of the colourful essentials papers to make a cascade card, that folds flat for posting but has a really nice dimensional element too.

I drew several circles on the double dot chevron papers choosing rainbow colours, I offset each circle slightly and in the final blue one cut a curve which meant that I could stick the rainbows diagonally across the cards.  I hid the ends of the rainbow in the little pockets that get created by the cascade folds.

Once my rainbows were on I then added lots of clouds and hot air balloons using the Summer Mood papers to add some more colour.  I used the Sentiments stamps for the title.

I love the ease and precision of the die cut pieces, perfectly cut out with tiny bits of intricate detail.

I had lots of fun cutting out cupcakes in various styles and colours, as well as lots of little candles to pack this card with some birthday celebration.  I alternated rows of candles and cakes, and then went back and added more cakes!

I added some sparkle to the top of the cakes with confetti paste and also transferred some of the waste from the cupcake star cake to the swirl cake topping.

I cut out some banners from the Beat the Heat paper and strung them across above my sentiment to create a colourful and packed birthday card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.

Freeze! It's Party Decor!

Whoa! Freeze! You're going to love what we have for you today! Our amazingly talented in-house designer, Pia has been busy creating this magical delight and we just had to share it with you! We think you'll just love this fun party decor!

Let's break it down and start with a look at the stunning castle. The castle was created with chipboard and then covered in our beautiful Altitude collection.

The attention to detail is amazing on this beauty! The roof line detail is impressive! Check out the turrets of the castle.

The stone work look on each turret was created using the Wall to Wall textures stamp; stamping it in embossing ink, then embossed over and shaded with a pencil. Stunning!

And look at this to die for clock tower! The same technique was used to achieve the brick work with our Wall to Wall textures stamp again. The icicles were made with white glue on acetate. Shaping the glue into icicles, then glittering them with loose glitter. When they dry, you just peel off and adhere with glue dots. And don't you just love the cute doors! They open!

The stairs don't miss a detail either! The ice patches are made the same way as the icicles and really give the stairs nice dimension and a very realistic look. The darling girls are from our Little Miss collection and the Snowman from Altitude. 

Every party needs cupcakes! And this party is no exception! Cupcakes are a cute and fun way to add a special touch to all your parties! Using a border punch, paper and a 4 inch foam ball to make the cupcakes, topping each one with Fantasy Snow and lots of glitter before they dried made them beautiful!

You may have guessed this is a princess party and every princess needs a wand and.....

A crown! Paper, a little chipboard and of course jewels make this a sparkling delight for any little princess! These fun party decorations are glittered to the nines to make them sparkle and shine!

Thanks for taking a peak at these gorgeous, magical and fun creations! We hope it added a little inspiration to your Friday!
