Just a Reinder for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #602

Hey Friends!

Just popping in with a card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #602. This round is a THEME challenge-Favorite Foods.

Once again I used Spellbinders Pie dies for my card. Love, love, love these dies.

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge badge for challenge #602:

I started off my card by die cutting fruit, pie and utensils from ink blended cardstock.

I layered it over a dry embossed background background from Tim Holtz.

A Couple of Fall Cards

 Hey Friends!!

I am enjoying some fall weather....FINALLY...and I created a couple of cards to celebrate my favorite time of year. I have had a ton of using some new to me supplies and some from my stash. It was fun to dig through my stuff and find things to use.

My first card was inspired by THREE challenges!!! Inspired By..#302, Tic Tac Toe Challenge #256 and TGIF Challenge #491. 

 

The colors and the leaf were inspired by the leaves in the challenge badge of the Inspired By... photo. I used the first column as inspiration on the Tic Tac Toe graphic-Fall/Embossing/Layers on this card and everyone knows that Fall is Sweater Weather!!!

I used a combination of Spellbinder's, Waffle Flower and MFT products on my card. Some were lying in my stash, some I created for this and my next card. 

I also used the sketch from last week's Freshly Made Sketches Blog because I had wanted to use it last week and never got around to it. 

My next card I could also enter into all three challenges but I would have to do another post and don't feel like it.

Once again, I used a combination of things from my stash-both old and new. The leaves were die cut last year but I never used them on a card. The gold flowers were laying around from a different project and they were used because the card just needed a little something, something when I was almost done.

I used a bunch of different companies on this card-Spellbinders, The Stamp Market, Waffle Flower, Ranger Distress Inks... This was such a fun card to create!

I just love using images that resemble "stamps" on cards. 

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Just a Reminder for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #601

Hi Friends!!

I am popping in with another card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #601. This round is a THEME challenge-Buggy for Bugs.

Once again I used some products from They Greetery for my card. 

The badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #601 is below:

I started off by creating a background for my card using a combination of stamps, stencils and ink blending. 

I used a cover die over the background and used die cut lilacs and stamped bell jar for my arrangement.

The butterfly is I used ink blending that matched the background. Once again, I LOVE how this card came out. It was a blast to make.

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge-#601 Buggy For Bugs

Hey Friends!!!

I am just popping in with a card that I created for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. This round is a THEME challenge-Buggy for Bugs. 

I had fun creating my card using products that I got from The Greetery. Once again I am using stuff that I have had but have not used. 

I created my lilacs using ink smooshing with Distress Ink and then die cutting them out. 

Below is the inspiration badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #601. I did NOT use primary colors or cutesy bugs but a more realistic looking dragonfly.

The background was die cut using a die from Pinkfresh Studio that I placed over a light purple, A2, top folding card.

The dragon fly was die cut and then I used ink blending over it. The sentiment is a stamp from The Greetery.

I have to say that I had so much fun making this card. I LOVE these flower dies.
