Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #545

 Hey Friends!! 

Today I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #545. It is all about GRADUATION! This challenge will run for TWO weeks and I hope you decided to join us!!

I created a very simple card as I have very few graduation supplies. I actually have more than I could find, which sometimes frustrates me. Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #545 badge.

I masked off the center of a white panel and shaded it in with a yellow and orange shade dye ink. I then added a die cut cap from Sugar Pea Designs.

The sentiment is from an old My Favorite Things stamp set and I added some gold gems from my stash. It was a very easy card but I love the results.

That is all from me today!! I hope that you will hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #545 and join us this week!!!

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

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #350

 It is time for another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!!! This week the theme is HALLOWEEN!!!

I created a little wall hanging I sent out to my niece.

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for #350.

I did not use the monsters as my inspiration but rather the colors of orange, purple and black for my creation.

I bought the little frame at Michael's. I painted it with white and die cut  piece of OLD Basic Grey paper in a hexagon for the inside. I used a combination of dies from Sugar Peas Designs (cauldron) an Sizzix (witches legs). The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.

If I had to make this again, I probably would have painted the outside a darker color but I was in a rush to get this done to send out. I need to start my projects earlier!!!

Well, that is all from me today. Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and play with us this week!! We are also teaming up with the Double Trouble Challenges this time. Please put your cards with the following rules:

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

A Day Late and a Dollar Short for a Challenge

Happy Monday!!!

I cannot BELIEVE that this weekend went by so fast!! The summer has flown by and it seems to have never been.

Since I had time, my intention was to flood my blog with card posts this week but alas, my mojo has flown the coop. I did a bit of organizing, some coloring and die cutting of images, hoping that it would come back but it didn't. The results? Only one card made for some challenges.

For my inspiration, I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #400 and the Inspired by Challenge to create this card. Unfortunately, I didn't upload this in time for the sketch challenge. I hate when I do that!!

I started off this card with some SU! Coastal Cabana cardstock and a piece of scrap patterned paper with type on it as my jumping off point. This paper I "believe" is from Scenic Route? I cut off the edge when I was cutting up all my scraps so I am not sure. I wanted to make the typewriter as close as I could to the one in the photo BUT I didn't have the exact shade of cardstock I was looking for.

I then stamped a white,  die cut square with a birthday sentiment from Sweet Pea Designs "You're My Type" stamp set in gray. I then covered it with a bit of Distress Ink to match the background paper.

I then added the matching typewriter die cut over the stamped panel. My last step was to add a Taylored Expressions "Simple Strips" sentiment banner over the square using foam adhesive.

Simple but fun card. And I didn't use any Glossy Accents!!!

I am also going to enter this card into the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: All About Occasions and TGIF Challenge-Embossing Powder.

That is all from me today. I thank you for stopping by!!! Have a GREAT night

A Challenge Card and Some Totally Random Creations

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Just popping in with some cards I created.

This first card was inspired by some challenges.

I created the patterned paper using an Echo Park stencil on white card stock which I stenciled with MFT "Daffodil" and "Blue Breeze" die ink. I then adhered the panel to a light blue, A2, top folding card base.

I then stamped the sentiment using Sugar Peas Designs "Pucker Up" stamp set in black. I adhered a die cut blue banner on top and a white square over that. Next I adhered the lemonade images over the front of the square, using foam adhesive to pop up the glass and the lemon.

I am entering this card into Fusion Challenge Card Sketch and the colors by "Inspired By Hello Spring."

I was inspired by the sketch for the Fusion Challenge and the yellow and blue colors in the Inspired By photo.

My second random card design I made for a friend.

I die cut the Memory Box "Intricate Bee" out of gold glitter paper and mounted over a Memory Box "Honey Comb Stitched Circle Frame" die.

I die cut the thanks using WPlus9's "Basic Greetings" set, colored it in with a Spectrum Clear Sparkle marker and adhered it to the card front. I then covered it with Glossy Accents. I added a crown of embossed gold and tied some gold thread around the top.

My second card has the same card design BUT instead of using gold glitter paper (I ran out) I die cut the bee and embossed it in gold instead. I think I like it better.

Instead of using the WPlus9 greeting I used a die cut Lawn Fawn thanks sentiment.

Well, that is all from me today. I thank you for stopping by!! Have a great day!!

Some Challenge Cards

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a nice day.

It is quite cold here today but the sun is shining. Apparently we are going to have ANOTHER Nor'easter this Wednesday and yet another foot of snow. I cannot wait for March to be over at this rate. I do not want any more days off from work!!

Today I am sharing two cards that I created for some challenges. The first card is for CAS(E) This Sketch #263.

I have been using some of my pile of never opened product and dug out the "Make Mine Lemon Lime" by Spellbinders and the sentiment from Sugar Pea Designs "Pucker Up" stamp set.

I shaded in the lemon and the lemon slice with some "Mustard Seed" and "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress ink. I also covered the online in the slice and the heart with Tonic's Aqua Shimmer Glitter Pens and Glossy Accents.

The strip of patterned paper is from the Recollections "Coastal Village" paper pad that I picked up at Michael's this weekend.

I added some google eyes and a smile to complete the card.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card:

While I was on this fruit theme, I created another simple card for the Fab Friday Challenge, Sketch #133.

I took a little liberty from this sketch and hope it will be accepted. Instead of a square, I used a lime die cut from the Queen and Company "Fruit Basket Kit." I bought this last spring and had never done anything with it so I pulled it out to make some cards.

I actually made a few cards from this kit but will post them at a later date.

I shaded the limes with “Twisted Citron,” “Mowed Lawn,” and “Peeled Paint” Distress Ink.

Well, that is all from me tonight. Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!!
