There is Still Time to Play Over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges-Challenge #600

Hello Friends!

I am popping in with a reminder for Challenge #600 over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. Challenge #600 is a MILESTONE. The THEME of this round is HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Instead of the challenge running for two weeks, this challenge will run for the whole month of August. There are a TON of prizes, including two being sponsored by me. Hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog for all the information. 

For this challenge, a bunch of sponsors generously donated images for the DT to use to create birthday cards. I created one card for each sponsor on this post. 

My first card I created a card using the digital stamp Feeling Spoilt from All Dressed Up Stamps.

I had so much fun coloring this image in with some Copic Markers and adding a sentiment from my stash.

I added a touch of sparkle to the Martini with Stickles. I totally know who I am going to give this card too.

For my second card, I used the cupcake image from the digital stamp set "Cupcake Kisses" from Crafty Scrappers. She created this set as the prize especially for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #600! 

I colored in the image using Copic Markers. I then added some Glossy Accents over the top of the sprinkles and flower centers.

I adhered the image over some pattern paper and an orange scrap paper border to complete the card.

For my third card, I used a monster stamp from the digital stamp set by Last Minute Manda-More Monsters Under the Bed. 

This monster was one of my favorites from all of my cards. I love the image and had a blast coloring it with Copic markers. 

I die cut the image out and then placed it in a polaroid frame. I then layered it over some yellow pattern paper. The fun sentiment was from my stash. Isn't this card so cute?

My next card was created using one of the drinks from the Mirtillamente digital stamp set Cake and Gifts.

Once again I used Copic Markers to color in the image and added some fun details in with Glossy Accents and Stickles. 

I distressed the edges and layered it over some blue cardstock. This card is simple but LOVE how it came out..

My last card I used the image A Curious Cake from The Paper Shelter for my card. 

I colored the fun cake in using various shades of Copic markers. I added some Blue and Orange Peel Stickles over some of the frosting and in the candles for a little sparkle.

I fussy cut the cake out and used foam adhesive to pop it up over an ink blended background. I added a sentiment from my stash and some gems to complete the card.

For my second card, I used the candle image from the digital stamp set "Cupcake Kisses" from Crafty Scrappers. She created this set as the prize especially for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #600! 

I enlarged the candle and then copied it to make some rows. This originally covered the entire card front BUT my Copic marker burped and I had to cut the panel down. Happy accidents!!

I colored in all the candles using Copic Markers and added some Orange Peel Stickles in each of the candle flames. The sentiment, also from the prize set, was popped up using some foam adhesive.

For my third card, I used a monster stamp from the digital stamp set by Last Minute Manda-More Monsters Under the Bed. 

I had a lot of fun coloring this fun monster in, fussy cutting it out and layering it over some pattern paper scraps. 

The sentiment is from Concord and 9th and was lying about in my "unused" pile. I think this card would be fun to send to someone at any age that needs a pick me up.

My next card was created using one of the drinks from the Mirtillamente digital stamp set Cocktails.

Once again I used Copic Markers to color in the image. The sentiment is from Mirtillamente Happy Birthday No. 2 Sentiment set. 

I used foam adhesive to adhere the stamped panel to some orange pattern paper and a lace border.

Just a Reminder for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587

 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 #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

Once again I used a digital image from our sponsor-All Dressed Up Stamps-to create my card. I had so much fun coloring in the adorable girl and her little pets on the "Time to Read" image.

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587:

I printed out my digital image onto white paper. I then used Copic Markers to color it in.

When my coloring was complete, I fussy cut the digital stamp out and used foam adhesive to adhere it over a white card base that I had covered with some scraps of red and pink pattern paper.

I added a sentiment from my stash and topped off the card with some red rhinestones.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

My card was created with a digital stamp from our sponsor this round- All Dressed Up Stamps. I chose to use All Dressed Up Stamp's the "A Little Note" digital stamp for this project. 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC587.

I chose to print my stamp in black ink onto a kraft cardstock background. Then I colored it in with both Copic Markers and colored pencils. 

I chose to keep the coloring kind of "rustic" looking because I didn't want to shade in the whole piece of "paper" on the typewriter in white. I kind of took how I wanted to color the image in from there. 

I layered the kraft panel over a card base that was layered with a scrap of pattern paper and some pink and red cardstock scraps. The addition of the red rhinestones were the last step.
