There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578

Hello friends!! 

I am just popping in to say that there is still time to play with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578. It is a THEME challenge this round. It is to use PLAID on a project.

The challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 is below:

For my project, instead of a buffalo plaid, I decided to use a piece of American Crafts "Blooming Wild" pattern paper for my project. It had all sorts of fun colors that I could choose to create accents with. I then die cut a rectangle using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackable Dies and adhered it over the pattern paper. 

I added a scalloped frame die cut from light purple cardstock over the white panel. I then used a flower that was all ready stamped and die cut from my stash over the front. 

I used an embossed sentiment strip from my stash that I cut apart and adhered it to my card with foam adhesive. My last step was to adhere some purple gems to the front of my card and it was complete.

Hello Friends!!

There is time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Challenge #578 is a THEME challenge. It is to create a project using PLAID!!!

The Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 Is below.

Instead of a card, I created a gift card holder. I used the Gift Card Bag Holder Die from the Stamp Market for this project. I photographed the bag with the inside pulled out.

I used a Buffalo Plaid stencil in pink on the white background for the pattern. I then die cut the banner with the same Stamp Market die and stamped a sentiment with The Stamp Market Gift Card Greetings Stamps.

The bag was perfect to layer some the **Stylish Oval Hello You Floral Etched Dies by Spellbinders over the top. I cannot wait to give this to someone!!!

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!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Freshly Made Sketches #601

Hello friends!! 

Just popping in with a card for Freshly Made Sketches #601 and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Stamp It. 

I created this card with the Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Stem. 

The stamp in the background is the "Script" background from Hero Arts. 

The stencil is Sweet as Honey from Photo Play and the embossing folder is from Spellbinders.

I also created a second card that was just a tiny bit different from the first card.

I used the same materials, with the exception of the the embossing folder. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant.

I LOVE how these came out and was SO FUN to create. I just played around with stuff I have had for eons and used them!!

 Well that is all from me. Thanks for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS Monday!!

A New Cupcake Inspiration Challenge-Challenge #577

 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.

To see all the details for Challenge #577 and more fun projects by the Design Team, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. I hope you decide to join us for this round!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!
