Just a Reminder that there is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #615

 Hello Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #615 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors ORANGE, PINK and WHITE.

Once again, I used die cuts flowers (retired) from MFT Stamps. Pink is an unusual color for a sympathy card but I decided I didn't care.

I used a new stamp and some SSS ink to stamp my background onto pink cardstock.

The arch die cut is from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.

My last element that I added was TONS of pink jewels. This is something that I will be giving someone by hand!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #615 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors ORANGE, PINK and WHITE.

I had fun using a combination of die cuts and pattern paper. The orange background is from 49 & Market. The tag is from Reverse Confetti (a store that I loved but is now defunct.)

The flowers are from MFT that I die cut from a mixture of pattern paper and cardstock. 

The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. I know that orange and pink are not a common sympathy color but I don't care. I love how this came out.

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #614-HOW DO YOU RELAX?

 Hello Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #614 is a THEME CHALLENGE-WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX?

I decided that one way I relax is TRAVEL! I had die cut these little suitcases using Honey Bee Stamps Small Suitcase Dies ages ago but never used them. They were perfect to use for this challenge.

I think this is one of my favorite cards that I have created this year!! When I had die cut these suitcases, I went through a TON of scraps from my drawer. I love the fun patterns I was able to find.

There is a NEW CHALLENGE over at the Cupcake Inspiration BLOG-Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #614

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #614 is a THEME challenge-HOW DO YOU RELAX?

I actually created THREE cards for this challenge. The activity that relaxes me the most is getting lost in a good book. Who can ask for more?

The dies I used are called "Book Collection" from Lawn Fawn. I had fun going through my scraps to die cut these books out. The sentiments are from all different sets I own in my stash. 

The flowers are some "extras" from various cards I have created in the past and are from Spellbinders. It was fun to dig through my stash of things to find little things to pair with the books. The background stamp on this card is one from Hero Arts.

This card was made from a TON die cuts that I had left over. I think this one is my favorite of the three. This little book set was so fun to use!!

Once I colored in my image, I fussy cut both the girl and the bird out. I layered it over a die cut rectangle that I had done some ink blending on.

The sentiment is from MFT Stamps. I LOVE how this came out.
