Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #366

Welcome to the next Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #366!  This week it is a beautiful summery color scheme!  

And here's my card.

Using the colors for the challenge, I also let the cupcake decorations inspire me but instead of using a flamingo I used this adorable Stork Stuff die!  The white card mat was cut using one of my favorite cover plate dies called Dotted Scallops.  That amazing sentiment is from Latina Crafter called You.  I love that oversized You!  I embossed it on a vellum piece that had been die cut using one of the Stitched Mats: Side Stitched Rectangles dies.

All of the details on this challenge can be found on the Cupcake Inspirations blog!  I hope you'll join us for this week's color challenge!  Have a great day!

Welcome

I have a simple card to share with you today!  I started with a piece of patterned paper (My Mind's Eye On Trend 2) and then used one of the Stitched Mats: Side Stitched Rectangles dies to cut the stitches into the outside of the card.  I attached the new Welcome Word Die to the bottom corner and then added some sequins.  That was it!  Super simple!

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July!  I always LOVE going to see the fireworks!  Last night our little town had their fireworks show and they were spectacular!  They put on a really good show for a small town!  Happy birthday America!

This seemed like an appropriate card to share today!  To create my stitched mat I used the Frantic Stamper Elementals #1 die.  I die cut the USA words & the USA from the Patriotic Icons die set.  I love the dies in this set and the size of them too!  

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #365

Hello everyone!  I have a fun announcement to make today!  I was chosen to be on the Cupcake Inspirations Design Team and today is my first post!  This is a challenge blog that I've admired and participated in.  The challenges vary between theme challenges & color challenges and there are prizes every week for the winner! I'm excited to be working with this team!

Today's challenge features products from Winnie & Walter.

For my card I used the Winnie & Walter In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet stamp set to create the flowers.  I first stamped each flower with ink and then embossed the top, more detailed layer with white.  The sentiment is from The Big, The Bold and You Stamp Set which has lots of fun mix & match sentiments.  I added some sequins and an ombre pattern paper strip at the bottom to finish the card off.

The inspiration photo that we are using this week is a very pretty one!

You can make any card with flowers.  Let the photo be your inspiration starting point...or not.  Any flower card qualifies.  I hope you'll play along!  The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate from Winnie & Walter!  You can find all of the information about the challenge on the Cupcakes Inspirations Blog.

I hope you'll visit the other design team member's blogs and check out their creations too!
