Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Donut Delight

Mmmmm, I love me a good donut challenge!  Seriously when I saw all the wonderful donut dies and stamps that have been popping up all over the place in the last year I was so tickled.  I have a history with donuts...and coffee that my oldest and dearest friends will attest to.  My very first job was in a donut shop that was right across the street from where I lived with my parents. I started out part time at 16 years old and worked up to full time, preparing and serving these delicious  treats 5 days a week for 5 years.   In fact I met the love of my life not long after I started working there.  We started dating and he would come in to the Donut shop every day to see me.  Did I sneak him a free donut now and then?.....I'll never tell!  But I will say that we've been sharing a pot of coffee every morning for the last 30+ years and we still sneak a donut in there once in a while. (watching our figures you know).   And now  you know  why I just had to get my hands on some adorable donut goodies for my card making.

I ran across this awesome Donut Delight Challenge over at Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge blog and knew it was right up my alley.  Look at their inspiration photo.  Yummy!

For this card I wanted to take these donut dies and use them in a different way.   I thought they could double as balloons on a birthday card and the sprinkles could take on the illusion of confetti.  This stamp set from Reverse Confetti just happened to have the perfect donut inspired birthday sentiment.

And although I am crazy for dimension on a card I'm still a realist and I try so hard to keep it at a minimum so that the card will travel through the mail.  This one may need a little extra postage.  My bad!  ;)  I added a few extra sprinkles on the inside for fun.

For this card I used the following supplies from:

Reverse Confetti:
Donut You Know stamp set

Lil' Inker Designs:
Eat More Donuts stamp set
Donuts Die set

My Favorite Things:
Stitched Jumbo Fish Tail Banner STAX
Textile Rectangle Frame Die-Namics
In & Out Diagonal Stitched Rectangle STAX
Harlequin stencil

I also used:
Hero Arts Shadow Inks: Tide Pool, Cup O' Joe and Soft Pink
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
natural twine
sequins


Thanks so much for taking a trip back in time with me and playing with Donuts with me!  This inspired me to take on a couple more donut cards for some other challenges out there.  I'll post a couple more today.  Happy Monday!!
