Cute Pancakes!

Ever since my grandson was born in January, cute is the name of the game.

When I saw the adorable little pancake stack and spatula from The Divorce Upside stamp set* - part of the new Simon Says Stamp Shine On release - I just knew I wanted them all over something. I decided to make a happy birthday card. Since berries go with pancakes, I chose Spellbinders Wild Berry Colorwheel Cardstock for my accent color.

I took a piece of Spellbinders Chiffon cardstock from my stash and using the Hero Arts Inks Cup o Joe and Espresso (coffee and pancakes!?! does it get any better?) I stamped all over an A2 panel with these two cute, little stamps.

Next, I die cut a piece of Spellbinders Wild Berry cardstock, and the panel I had just stamped with 2 stitched rectangle dies from the Nested Postage Labels and Tag die set from Spellbinders. I layered the three pieces I was left with together and glued them in place.

Then I die cut the Bouncy Happy Birthday die from Simon Says Stamp from the berry cardstock. I cut 2 additional sentiments from the same Chiffon cardstock and glued all three together to give the sentiment some real dimension. I glued this on the top panel, and added some small beige gems around the sentiment for a finishing touch.
