Another Darling Birthday Girl/Card Idea

This is little Brooklyn, she just turned 3 the end of August!  She was just a baby when we drove through Utah, so we have watched her grow up through pictures rather than being there face to face which is really hard.  Brooklyn is really smart, she knows how to take pictures on their tablet and post them to Facebook!!!  She idolizes her sister Kali, and usually when you see one of them - you see the other one right behind, except when Kali is in school that is!   The best thing I love about this little beauty - is her smile!!!  I am glad her mommy has such a great person to watch the kids while she works, their grandma - Megan's mom!!!   At least I know the kids are loved, and not just watched by some stranger!  No longer the "baby" of the family, Brooklyn has a little brother that just turned one!  You can see Karson and his Thomas the Train present and his birthday card I made tomorrow!!!  The dolls for the girls - totally picked out by my husband...me, I would have picked out something else, yet HE did a perfect job - according to Megan!  Kali had been wanting one of these dolls for a long time, so I am glad Del was the one who could make her day!  Brooklyn sat and brushed her dolls hair for a long time Megan told us!  So I am really glad he did such a great job or instinctively picked out the perfect thing for the kids!!!    
For Brooklyn's card, I used the Paper Shapers Cupcake punch, and created 3 cupcakes since she turned 3!!!  I used the same "Happy Birthday" stamp as I did on Kali's card, and love how it turned out as a whole! This is the type of card where you can layer different colors of paper to create a "cupcake" looking embellishment!

Supplies:
Paper Shapers Cupcake punch
Card base 
Scrap paper for the background and cupcakes
Happy Birthday stamp
Black ink
Black embossing powder (optional)
Adhesive of your choice
Fine tip scissors 

Directions:
Step one:  Cut the background paper to fit the card base.  Using your adhesive - add it to the card.  
Step two:  Stamp your birthday greeting on a scrap piece of white cardstock, embossing if you choose to (but not necessary).  Add it to the card background.  
Step three:  Create the cupcakes using different colors of scrap papers...I used 4 different colors here...  White for the whole cupcake - and then just the top half in 3 different colors - the dark pink polka dot for the "frosting", and then basic pink for the candle, with yellow for the flame!!!
