Week 2 of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #534-Snow People

Hello everyone!! I hope that this post finds you all well. 

I am popping in today with a card to remind you of the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #534.

The theme is to create a card with Snow People.

I tried to make my card as simple as possible. I used a mix of new and old supplies. I used the Honey Bee Stamps Pierced Snowflake Die on a red card base as my starting point.

I die cut a white rectangle using my pierced rectangles from The Greetery and die cut a square out of that. I stamped a sentiment from Mama Elephant's Jingle Greetings on my rectangle and adhered it to my card.

I used a combo of Prized Ribbon and Peeled Paint Distress Stain on the tiny square and used foam adhesive to adhere it in a diagonal over the rectangle opening. I added a die cut tree and a Mama Elephant stamped snowman to complete my card.

I hope that this card inspires you to come on over and play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!! Pop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Blog to see what the other DT members created!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!

Week Two of the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #533

 Hello Crafty Friends!!

 Today I am popping in with a card that I created for week two of the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #533. 

This challenge was to use the colors red, white and cream on a card. 

I actually added some gold and green as well because I thought that it needed it.

I started off by using a circle stencil and blending Festive Berries for the red background and then a Stamperia "Alchemy" stencil over it in Fired Brick Distress Ink.

The trees are Tall Pine Trees from the Frantic Stamper Inc. The snowflakes are from my stash that I cut out awhile ago. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Snow Globe Sentiments. I use these sentiments a TON and I think need to make a bunch ahead of time.

I hope that you hop on over and play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #533-A Color Challenge

Hello my friends!! I hope that you are all well and have recovered from the Thanksgiving festivities. We hosted this year and it was so nice to be back to a semi-normal celebration. 

I have to be honest that I almost forgot to post my card for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Between last minute cleaning, cooking and having my daughter home from college, the weekend was all about family. 

This week I have to call in to see if I have Federal Jury Duty. I am on the fence as to how I feel about it all. I think being on a jury would be interesting but it is a lot of time out of work. If I don't get picked this time, I can be picked again within two month time frame.

On to my card!! This is my creation for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #533-a color challenge. 

The challenge was to use red, cream and white on a card. This was really hard as I would not usually use cream and white together!!

I pulled it together by creating my my Blooming Poinsettias from Poppy Stamps in these three colors. My cream is more vanilla but I am okay with that.

I used a scrap for the Concord and 9th "joy" sentiment. I adhered it over a piece of paper from a retired Authentique 6 by 6 paper pad. I have SO MUCH paper in my Christmas stash that I cannot buy anymore!!

I tried to die cut each piece of the poinsettia using a different shade of the cardstock. Each piece was from my scrap drawer. I love how this came out!!!

I now challenge YOU to create a card using these colors. Hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog to enter. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!
