nutmeg creations: A Donut Birthday - Stampin' UP Artisan Blog Hop

Welcome back to the Stampin' UP Global Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!

We are just starting on our June 2015 box from Stampin' UP.

This box was FULL of more BRAND NEW products

from the Stampin' UP 2015-2016 Annual Catalog!!!!!

You do not want to miss any of the projects this week! We are presenting you with some new "birthday" products found on page 5 to 12 in the new catalog! Remember that every Thursday of each week, all 16 of us from all over the world will post on our blogs an inspiring project for you! Be sure to get Google Translate so that you can read in your language all about how they created their projects too. Now on to my birthday project this 2nd week...

I was completely inspired by the donuts pattern in the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack for this birthday theme post! It is so YUMMO! Did you know that the Designer Series Paper Stacks come in 6" x 6" size now? I love it! I also love using these for a background layer on a card! These patterns are so fun too! I made many cards with them all! I used my new favorite stamp set called Layered Letters Alphabet. They are photopolymer so you can line them up on one block or stamp in a row with different inks. They are so versatile! I paired it with the Age Awareness Stamp set saying which completes it perfectly.

Of course, you HAVE to get a donut to give with the card! Naturally, I had to make the presentation of the donut even more yummy with some birthday toppers and a Tea Lace Paper Doily! Here I used the Cherry on Top Designer Washi Tape on a toothpick with a little Basic Black Baker's Twine. Just stamp the letters and cut out in a rectangle then glue dot to toothpick. Simple and yet adorbs!

Don't worry, that donut did not last long! My friend said it was YUMMO!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you!
