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.

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

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.

Want to join us this round? To see more details about the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587, head on over to the BLOG. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

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

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577

Hey Friends!!! 

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577. This round is a THEME challenge-BEARS.


Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC577.

Once again I used a bear from our sponsor this round, PJ Moore Illustrations. Isn't it so cute?


Once again, I resized the digital stamp and printed it out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. 


I colored it in with Copic Markers and cut it out. I shaded a white, A2 card front and shaded the back in with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then adhered the bear on top. 


I added scraps of pattern paper around the image for some fun detail. I added a sticker label and used stickers as the sentiment. I LOVE how this card came out!!!

 Hello Friends!! 

There is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this week. Challenge #577 is a THEME challenge and it is all about BEARS!!!!

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577.

I created my card with the image our sponsor, PJ Moore Illustrations donated to us. Isn't this so cute?

I started off this card by resizing and printing the digital stamp. I then colored it in with my Copic markers.


I cut down the white card panel and layered it over some scraps of pattern paper that were in my scrap drawer.


I added a sentiment with stickers. I have so many of these tiny stickers from my scrapbook days and I decided I needed to get them out to use. To finish my card off, I added a tiny die cut heart and covered it with clear shimmer pen and Glossy Accents.

There is Still Time to Play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #576

Hello Friends!!

I am just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #576. This week starts a new round and it is a COLOR CHALLENGE. 


Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #576 is all about using the colors TURQUOISE, RED, and YELLOW on a project.


I used digital images from Lucky Birthday Wishes set created by this weeks sponsor, CraftyScrappers.


I combined the digital images of the dog, the birthday hat and the birthday cake in Photoshop for my card. I printed it out on white cardstock and colored the images in with Copic Markers. I then cut the whole image out with scissors.

I used foam adhesive to layer the dog image over an ink blended background and stamped a sentiment using an MFT sentiment stamp at the bottom. I added Glossy Accents over the polka dots in the hat and some Orange Peel Stickles on the candle flame to complete this card.

My waves were created by using an Altenew embossing folder that I shaded with some Salty Ocean Distress Ink and white acrylic paint and then cutting it out. 

I then pieced the waves together around my shark. The sentiment I designed myself.

This card was SO FUN to create!!! I love digging through my supplies to find things to match with digital stamps.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568-Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine

Happy Monday everyone!! 

Today there is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations. For the next two weeks it is all about Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine. 

We have a sponsor this week-PJ Moore Illustrations!!! She generously donated the digital stamp "Let's Paint Elephant" that I used for this weeks card.  


Okay, you are probably going to ask, where is the Mother's Day? Where is the feminine? I do not have anyone to give a Mother's Day card too and I LOVE blue so I decided to create a card for ME!!! I also loved this little elephant as these are one of my favorite animals. 

Again, this image is from PJ Illustrations.

Below is the badge for this weeks challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges

I used Copic markers to color my elephant in. I added the blue paint puddle and some drops myself. I should have done it in the computer but the idea did not come to me until later. 

I stamped a sentiment using a Spellbinder's stamp and the die cut border is an old one from MFT.

For more inspiration from the Design Team and information on Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568, hop on over to the blog. I hope you choose to play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Happy Crafting!!

Happy Birthday 10th CraftyScrappers!

 Hello friends!!

I am just popping in today with a card I created in celebration of CraftyScrappers 10th Birthday. I am on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Design Team and this shop has generously sponsored many of our challenges. Below is the card that I made for this milestone.

I used the CraftyScrappers Limited Addition Birthday Stamp for my project. 

This stamp will be the prize for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge that starts tomorrow. 

To create my card, I printed the stamp out on kraft cardstock. I didn't print it out in solid black but I lightened it up because I wanted to do a combination of Copic coloring and colored pencils.

I love the tooth that kraft cardstock has over just coloring on smooth, white paper. Copics soak in so you have to have a light touch but they do blend together!!! I used colored pencil in a heavy handed way over some areas and just highlighted in others.

I love the little "fur" strokes that the pencil creates over Copics!!!

Well that is all from me today. To see more creations, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog Post. The other DT member were so clever in how they used this digital design!!

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by!!!

There is a NEW Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations!!

 Hey friends!! 

Just popping in with a card that I created for Challenge #564 at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges


For the next two weeks, Cupcake Inspirations Challenge is all about BEES!


The image I used is from our sponsor for this challenge-Pixel Paper Prints!!!


 She generously donated the "Busy Bee's" Digital Stamp Set for us to use for the next two weeks!


I had a TON of fun coloring in this card!! The sentiment was my creation that I printed right on to the front when I printed my images.


Isn't this too cute? Does it get you to want to play with us this week over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #564? Hop on over to the BLOG for details!!

Since this set was so MASSIVE, I have a bonus card for you too! I made a birthday card using some of the bees from the "Busy Bee" set.

I used Copic Markers to color in my bees and a stencil for the background. The sentiment looks a bit off in this photo but it is not IRL.

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS Monday!!
