A NEW Challenge-Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #633

Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #633 is a COLOR challenge-Grape, Fig and Beige.

This year Cupcake Inspirations has decided to be a monthly challenge. This gives

everyone more time to create and enter a project. I hope to see you there!!

To start 2026, I decided to try to use supplies that I have bought and have not used.

I bought the 2026 Spellbinder’s Advent Calendar and decided to use day 1’s offering.

Isn’t the little puppy cute? I had fun creating the background with a Crackle Paintembossing folder from Spellbinder's.

Below is the Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge:

 Hello Crafty Friends!!!

I am popping in today with a couple of cards that I created for some challenges. Though the holidays are over, the cards I created are Christmas cards. I didn't have enough to send out to everyone so I am starting earlier this year!!

I am entering this into this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #718, the Jingle Belles Challenge-to use wrapping paper on a card-the plaid paper is Christmas wrapping paper, and CAS on Friday #325.

I used the Snuggle Snowman that I received from Simon Says Stamp. I die cut the hat out of cardstock and wrapping paper. 

The embossing folder is Snowflake Visions. I am not sure who makes it as I forgot to put the company on the front!! The sentiment is from Concord & 9th.

The snowflakes are die cuts from my stash. 

The second card I created using sketch #655 from the Paper Craft Crew.

Once again I used the Simon Says Stamp! Snuggle Snowman as the showcase for my card. 

The pink paper is from PaperTrey Ink that I die cut with a Waffle Flower Additional Pierced Layer Die. 

 The green paper is from an old Doodlebug Design paper pad and the sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp and CZ Design Holiday Typewriter stamp/die set. 

I LOVE how these came out. It was fun to pair old and new supplies. I am really trying to not buy this year but I am already having a hard time because some of the new releases are amazing.

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