Time for a NEW Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #534-Snow People

 Happy Monday everyone!! 

I don't know about you but at this time of year, I feel like I am on a never ending treadmill. So many things to do but not enough time to complete everything you want to do! 

That said, this card for the new Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #534 was done at the last minute and I LOVE how it came out!!! 

This week the challenge is a theme challenge-Snow People.

I used a mixture of old and new products on this card. The snowman is *Jack Frost from Elizabeth Craft Designs. He is one of my new winter products that I bought this year.

I combined him with some snowflakes from my stash and the new Sophie Snowflake from SSS. 

I stamped the Typed Christmas sentiment from Hello Bluebird with Berrylicious ink from Pinkfresh Studio. 


The background paper is from my scrap stash. It was originally a 12 by 12 Christmas paper and it worked perfectly for this card!!!

I hope that you like my card and have time to join us this week at Cupcake Inspirations. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

I want to 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!!!
