Cupcake Celebration

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

The design was inspired by the challenges at CAS Colours & Sketches, Cupcake Inspirations, and Double Trouble.

When I saw the photo from Cupcake Inspirations, my only thought was a cupcake card! I followed the recipe from Double Trouble - at least 3 colors, 2 embellishments, and 1 stamped image. Now I'm hungry for a chocolate cupcake!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

One Sheet Wonder Cards!

Hello and welcome back! As promised, I've got the results of my one sheet wonder adventure for you today. There are lots of different designs out there, but the one I found gets 14 cards from 1 sheet of DSP! Here is the cutting pattern.

And here is the design showing the placement of the elements on the cards. I placed some of mine differently.

I was hoping to photograph them as a group but had to make a couple and mail them before all of the cards were complete. So here are separate pictures of all 14 cards (not in order - see captions).

Card #6

I used Whisper White Thick Cardstock for all card bases and the retired Magnolia Lane DSP for the panels. All DSP panels are layered on Early Espresso cardstock cut 1/8" larger on both dimensions. Sentiments are stamped in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White cardstock, with some layered on Petal Pink cardstock. The extra flowers were fussy cut from another sheet of the DSP. I also added the retired Petal Pink variegated ribbon on a couple of the cards. Card #13 got the special coloring treatment with the large die-cut magnolia colored with Stampin' Blends.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Card of the Day - Celebrate!

Hello and welcome back! I've got a birthday card for you today - actually it's for my daughter-in-law and my niece!

I found my inspiration today at three different challenges - the tic tac toe challenge at Retro Rubber, the sketch at Case This Sketch, and the colors at As You See It.

I used the elements in the right hand column of the tic tac toe board by die-cutting the labels for the birthday sentiment (from Hello Cupcake, a 2019 Sale-A-Bration set), and adding a strip of Lovely Lipstick foil paper and Daffodil Delight ribbon for the bright colors. The DSP is from Painted Seasons, also a 2019 Sale-A-Bration item, and brings in the Call Me Clover color. A mat of Soft Suede under the DSP adds the last color requirement. A little bling is always a good thing, so I colored a couple of basic rhinestones with the Light Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends marker before adding them to the card front. The inside sentiment (not shown) is from Curly Cute and is stamped in Call Me Clover, and the flower on the envelope is from Painted Seasons and stamped in Lovely Lipstick.

Here's a better shot of the foil paper strip.

Hello Cupcake!

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is a birthday card that I CASEd from Lisa Hardie. I didn't have any creative mojo today, but I need to get some cards out this week! 

I loved this color combo and really didn't change anything except the ribbon. I also used a smaller piece of DSP so that I could get more cuts out of one sheet of paper. I admit I'm a hoarder when it comes to pretty paper, so I'm a bit stingy. :)

Just like Lisa, I also added some Clear Wink of Stella to the frosting but it's so hard to photograph that. Maybe you can see it...

...or maybe not. :(

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
