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.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Celebration-Challenge #600

Happy Monday everyone!!!

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.

There is Still Time to play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #580

Hey Friends!!!

Today I am popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #580. This round is a theme challenge. It is all about HALLOWEEN.

Below is the challenge badge for the CIC580.

We have a sponsor this time around. Mirtillamente Craft Shop generously donated my image. I altered Svario: Happy Halloween Black Cat to create my card. 

I had so much fun creating this card!!! The background was made with Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Ink. I also used some Distress Stain and Distress Mica Stain over the top. 

I altered the digital image by getting rid of the cat. I then colored in that witch hat with Copic markers. 

Do you want to join us for this round? Hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog for more information. 

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