There is still time to play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553-SAFARI ANIMALS

Hello friends!!

Just popping into remind you that there is still time to play with this fortnights Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553. It is a THEME challenge this time around. It is all about making a creation with SAFARI ANIMALS.

Below is the badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #553 (CIC553).

This week I used four images and a sentiment from the Peek-A-Boo Digital Stamp set that was generously donated by our sponsor www.craftyscrappers.in. 

Once again, all the adorable animals were colored in with Copic Markers. I then die cut the panel with dies from Avery Elle.

I  mounted it over an A2 top folding card front that was stenciled with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. The addition of the orange twine bow was a last minute element that I think the card needed.

That is all from me today. I hope that you will come on over and join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge with a creation of your own!!!

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

A NEW Kat Scrappiness Shop Release!!

 **Affiliate Links are used in this post at no extra cost to you

Hello friends!! 

Today I am on the blog with a NEW RELEASE from the Kat Scrappiness Shop!! The cutest Halloween and Thanksgiving products are being released!! Below is a preview of a couple of projects I created for the release.

My first card features the NEW Kat Scrappiness Spooky Boo and Witches Brew dies. I also used the Kat Scrappiness Creepy and Kooky 6x6 paper and the Boo-Who? sequin mix on my card. 

Instead of using the caldron as a shaker, I drew "bubbles" inside with Copic Markers. I then used some Glossy Accents to make some of the bubbles shine. I added the ghost and sequins from the Boo-Who? sequin mix.

The Spooky Boo sentiment was die cut from the Creepy and Kooky paper and Neenah Solar White cardstock.

My second card I combined the NEW Kat Scrappiness Mail Storm Coverplate Die, Gobble Gobble 6x6 Pattern Paper Pad and the Simple Sentiments stamps and dies to create my card.

I die cut the Mail Storm Coverplate Die from Neenah Solar White  cardstock and colored in some of the envelopes with Copic Markers, choosing colors from the Gobble Gobble pattern paper that is in back of the die. 

I filled my shaker card with some Kat Scrappiness Autumn Pumpkin Sprinkles and Yellow Confetti Sprinkles. I added a few pearls around the sentiment from the Orange Creamsicle Pearl Mix. 

As part of this new Kat Scrappiness Shop release, I have two more card creations in today's Kat Scrappiness INSTAGRAM HOP!!

New Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #553-Safari Animals

 Hey Friends!! I hope everyone is doing well. 

I am exhausted today. I have been getting up M-F at 4:00 am to go to the gym before work. I have been doing it for THREE WEEKS so far and feel so energized when I am there. However, the downside is that by Friday night, I am so tired that I usually go to bed early and don't want to do anything on the weekends!!! I am hoping that as my body becomes more used to it that I adjust.

Now for why I am really here!!! Today there is a NEW challenge up at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. It is a THEME challenge of Safari Animals!! 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC553:

My adorable giraffe is an image that has been generously donated by our sponsor this week www.craftyscrappers.in. 

The giraffe and sentiment is part of the Peek-A-Boo set of adorable Safari Animals.

I used a stencil with Mustard Seed Distress Ink for the background and colored in the image with Copic Markers. I thought matting the image with pattern papers would give it a bit more emphasis. The pearls are from Kat Scrappiness Inc.

That is all from me today. I hope that you will come on over and join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge with a creation of your own!!!

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