Virtual Smooches: Birthday Cake Decorations with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here today:) Today we are celebrating.... ME! It's my birthday on Tuesday and this year I wanted to make a special birthday cupcake for Trav (I'd rather have a baked potato!) using PS dies. I was inspired by THIS cake and thought, "I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!" 

I'm not sure if you would consider this an EPIC Pinterest Idea FAIL... I think my cake turned out ok... but it would have been better if I used the Bam Bubble or Hearts dies! Next time:) LOL! 

Here's the video *****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching! THANKS!

2 Videos + a BONUS with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here today:) Because I was a bit behind last week... and NEVER posted my video... I am sharing THREE creations today! 

This first video was from last week. I needed a sympathy card quickly and used THIS card for inspiration. 
Here's the video *****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching! THANKS! 

Paper Smooches stamps: ReflectionsPaper Smooches dies: Loopy Leaf

Next up.... this week's video:) I've continued with my "self challenges" and combined both to make this masculine birthday card using some of my older Echo Park papers. LOVE how this turned out--- Trav just commented that he noticed I added glossy accents to the die cut sentiment after making the video. YES! I did! I forgot to mention that in the video. Good eye, Trav!

1 Card 2 Ways with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here today:) I've created 2 cards with one card design--- and using the Paper Smooches  Feathers dies. ***Trav saw these cards and noticed I had brought back the feather dies! LOL! 

One card is more feminine... and I think the second card is more masculine. But honestly- I think these cards could be for just about anyone:) ANNNNNNNNNND I can enter these in the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes (wk1) challenge because ANYTHING GOES (as long as you use PS stamps/dies:) LOL!)!  
Here's the video *****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching! THANKS!
