Snowy Cupcakes

I realize that I’m on a cupcake kick today but there is a reason.  I really wanted to do the challenge last week at Stamps and Smiles but didn’t have time.  As I was adding my link for this weeks challenge, I saw that I could still play along with last weeks challenge.  Since I had this idea in my mind since first seeing the sketch, I knew the card I’d make.  They are also looking for a guest DT so that’s two chances for them to see my cards!

The photo does not do this card justice.  The stamps and sketch are Stamps and Smiles and I water colored them.  I “sugared” the marshmallow fluff tree and the cupcake house icing.  I cut out the snowflakes using the Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge and “sugared” them as well.  I added a big rhinestone to the top of the house and smaller ones along the top and bottom.  I stamped the sentiment with versa mark and embossed it.

I have to make some DT cards that are due while I’m gone. One’s almost done.  I hope to get at least one more project done before I leave for Utah.  I’ll be offline for most of the week!  I just don’t know what I’ll do!!!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow . . .

. . . you’ll find cupcakes! I know it doesn’t go with the tune but I couldn’t help it!!!

If their really were cupcakes over the rainbow I’d definitely be chasing some rainbows!!!

All of the stamps are from Stamps and Smiles, as well as the sketch and I water colored them. This was really a fun card to make and I think it’s fun to look at too!!!

All the cardstock is Bazzil – you gotta love the Bazzil Monochromatic packs. They make it so easy to choose the right shades! I layered and embossed the lightest shade with the Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder and added the medium shade, embossed with the swirls folder, to the bottom. I tied a ribbon around it and added some jewels!

The Paper Play challenge is to to use no DP.

Birthday Cupcake

I ordered these stamps from Stamps and Smiles and they came right before I was leaving for Utah.  I’m glad I got a chance to use her.  I used the sketch from The Fresh Batch.

 

 

 

I also photoed it from the side so you could see the dimension.

 

 

 

I also decorated the inside.

 

 

The Dutch Dare challenge is to use bling (pink jewels on the top left) and the My Time to Craft challenge is to use pink.

The DP is from the DCWV Sweets stack.  This is my first try at using my Prisma colors with gamsol.  Not perfect but good considering it was my first try.  I’ll definitely be trying that technique again.

I might be back with one more.

Blessings,

Christine
