Just a Reminder for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #585

Hey friends!! 

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #585. Challenge #585 is a COLOR CHALLENGE this round. It is to use the colors yellow, gray and white on a project. 

Once again, for my project I chose to use Altnew's Zesty Life stamp/stencil/die set. I LOVE lemons-both to eat and to use on my card projects!!!

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge #585.

First I stamped the lemon images all over a white card base in black in. I then used the stencil to shade in different colors of yellow ink and green ink.

I then stamped a separate set of lemons and die cut them out. I added a gray and white striped piece of paper over the card base and added a circle of vellum. I placed the die cut lemons over the front.

I then used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment. I added some clear sequins around the sentiment circle.

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

Cupcake Inspirations #585

 Happy New Year!!! 

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge is back!!! This time around, challenge #585 is a COLOR CHALLENGE. It is to use the colors yellow, gray and white on a project.

I created my card with a stamp/stencil/die set by Altenew called Zesty Life. I combined a bunch of Distress Inks with the stencils for my colors.

The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #585 is below.

I used a scrap of gray and white striped paper behind the lemons. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

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

Merry Christmas and a Card!!

 Hey Friends!!!

I am just popping in with a card I created for a couple of challenges. I am so happy that I have a week off now and will actually have time to do some creating!!

The inspiration for this card was from Freshly Made Sketches #616 and the Just Add Ink Challenge #684.

I used pattern papers from 49 & Market and dies from Spellbinders.

The sentiment is from an ephemera pack from 49 & Market.

The second card I created was inspired by The Card Concept #202.

I used 49 & Market ephemera and papers on this card. The gingham paper was the back of the label on the paper pack!!

I LOVE this paper. I popped up some of the ephemera for a bit of emphasis.

Well that is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by. I wish you all a great Holiday!!!

A Reminder for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #584-Winter Wonderland

Hey Friends!!

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for #584. This round is a THEME challenge-WINTER WONDERLAND. 

For my card this week, I created a scene with die cuts from my stash. 

Sometimes you want to put together a card that is cute but easy. Coloring images and die cutting things ahead of time really helps!

Below is the badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #584:

I started off by masking the edges of a white card panel and doing some ink blending in red in the center.

 

I die cut the panel and layered it over an A2 sized red card base. I cut apart a snowflake frame die from Simon Says Stamp and layered my little bear over the top with some trees from my stash.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #584-Winter Wonderland!!

I decided to use the Poppy Stamps Nordic Whimsy Trees, Nordic Flourishes and Holiday Corgi to create my card.

Isn' that pup CUTE? I love how this came out and know exactly who I am sending this out to this year!! Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #584.

I also chose to use some pattern paper from my stash for the background. I think that is going to be a goal this year for me. I have SO MUCH pattern paper that I could open my own store. I need to start using it.

I used Distress Ink to shade in my trees and the pup. Easy peasy!!!
