Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #537-Valentine Hearts

 Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a FABULOUS day.

It is time for a new Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. The next two weeks it is to create a card using Valentine hearts.


This week the Design Team is using digital stamps by Digi Doodle Designs


I was generously gifted Digi Daisy and Darby Dalmatian digital stamp to use on my card. Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge #537.


I started off my card by printing out my image and coloring it in with colored pencils. I then die cut it and layered it onto an A2 card front that I had adhered a piece of red cardstock that I had die cut using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Heart Coverplate and a die by The Greetery.


I finished it off with a retired greeting from My Favorite Things.


I hope that you will join us this week for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #537. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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

The February 2022 Release from Kat Scrappiness

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

Hello everyone!! Today I am on the blog to show some cards I created for the new Kat Scrappiness Release. It is a Birthday theme and I had SO MUCH FUN playing with the new products.


For my first card I combined the Balloon Coverplate, some birthday hats from the Birthday Essentials Dies that were die cut from the new Birthday Essentials 6" by 8" pattern paper. 


The sentiment is the new Make a Wish w/Shadow Die. I covered it with some Glossy Accents.


I added some Sparkling Clear Confetti for a "faux" shaker look.


For my second card, I created a background using a brayer and then made a flat shaker out of it with some Rainbow Dot Sprinkles and White AB Solid Confetti Mix.


I added a cake I created with some Distress Ink and the new Birthday Essentials Die set.


The sentiment was die cut using the new Happy Birthday w/Shadow Die.


I used some Glossy Accents and some Rainbow Dot Sprinkles to decorate my cake.

I LOVE this new release and had a BLAST making these cards. There is an Instagram Hop going on. Please hop on over to the Kat Scrappiness Instagram to begin the hop. Leave a comment on all the project posts and you will be entered to win a $25 gift certificate. 

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS Saturday and STAY WARM!!

Reminder for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a nice weekend. 

Today I am here on the blog with a reminder that it is week #2 for the Cupcake Inspiration #536

The challenge is to use the colors pink and mint on at card. Below is the challenge badge for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536.

I used another digital image from our sponsor, Paper Nest Dolls. She generously gifted this the Design Team to create a card.


I colored in Cupcake Avery with Copic Markers and then cut her out with scissors. Isn't she adorable? 


I layered her over an embossed pink panel and added some sentiments that I printed out on the computer. 


I then added some sequins around the sentiments.

I hope that you will join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #536 and create a card. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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

A Farewell to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and a New Craft

Hello Friends!! 

Today I am on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog with my final card being a DT member of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  I have resigned to have more time to do some other crafts that I am interested in. I want to thank Michele for taking her chance on me and letting me be a member of her Design Team.

For my last card I created a get well card for a friend that just had surgery.

To see how I created this card, please hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog.

As for what I have been working on? I am now sewing Barbie clothes and making miniatures! Yes, it might be a bit strange to some of you but I am so excited to be doing this again. When I was in high school, I made clothes and my grandmother would sell them for me. I have been experimenting with sewing again so that eventually I might open a shop to sell someday. Below are a few things I have created in my journey for perfection.

 
I created this jacket using a cotton fabric and lined it with a polka dot lining.

I created the outfit under it with some fancy fabric and some trim.

I created some white pants, as well, with a black top.


I made a coat to go with it. I love this fabric and it was rough.


I will be redoing this jacket again!!

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!!!

 Happy Monday everyone!! Today I am here with another challenge from The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. This week it is a THEME CHALLENGE. It was to use Mint and Pink on our card.

Below is the Challenge Badge for #536.


We have a sponsor with use this week. Paper Nest Dolls generously sent an image for us to use on our card. There will be a random drawing for a prize of three images of the winners choice.


This image is called Avery with Hearts. I colored her in with a combination of Copic Markers and colored pencils. I then combined two sentiments to create my sentiment block.


I die cut the image out and layered it over scraps of pattern paper. 

I hope that you this inspires you to come on over and play with us this week at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!
