Hey Cupcake!

The challenge at All That Scraps this week is a sketch.

This is my favourite kind of challenge. I'm also entering this in The Crafty Pad's Challenge #110 Something Yummy For Your Tummy, how perfect is that? I decided to use a stamp I hadn't inked up yet and out came Cupcake Kiki from C.C. Designs. She is actually one of the first stamps I bought! I love the bright colours of this paper, KI Memories Sweet Life. I wasn't going to put a sentiment on the front, but after this picture was taken I added 'Hey Cupcake' from Amy R's Birthday Sentiments, I couldn't resist!! It's a busy card for me, but I like it and I think it's a great card for young girl. I actually have a card for my stash - and it's not much of a stash either!!

After colouring her with my copics I added Rock Candy Distress Stickles to the cupcake, some glassy accents to the baubles in her hair and a little rhinestone to the flower in her hair. And to top it all off, I added the Bella Donuts to the corners! The scallops on the dp were made with the EK Success Corner Rounder Punch, you just have to take off the paper guide and punch across the paper :-)

Inside was finished off with some more dp and the cupcakes and sentiment is from Amy R's Birthday Sentiments.

Make A Wish

So finally after a family get away to Minneapolis for a shopping (I mean hockey) tournament I was able to sit down and get to making a card. I've been having withdrawals!!

I have admired this card from Lucy Abram for a long time and I decided it was time to case it! I used some Stampin Up dp along with various Basic Grey buttons. The candles were coloured using a blender pen and ink. And guess where I found that ribbon?? On one of my purchases, the ribbon was the handle of the bag - so, I decided to use it - it was the perfect colour for what I wanted! My daughter requested that this card (for a friend of hers) was to be simple and not too girly. I think it fits.

One More Valentine.......

I have one more Valentine to share - this was for our friend's daughter. I decided to try a shaped card and since the image was already on the scalloped background I made a scalloped card! She really loved it! I used Cupid Emily again from Sparkle Creations. Told you, I couldn't get enough of this image!! Enjoy!

I'm entering this card in The Crafty Pad's Challenge #108 - Hearts.

Valentine Goodies

I made a couple goodie bags for me nieces today. Just a couple brown paper bags spruced up to be all girly and valentiny! I used a Martha Stewart punch for the top and some Pretty in Pink Taffeta Stampin Up ribbon on one and some glittery red ribbon on the other. The image is Sparkle Creations Cupid Emily which I won a while back and I've used her more than any stamp I own I think!! She is so much fun to colour and so versatile. The dp is Bo Bunny Crazy Love. I added a Prima flower to each with a tiny heart brad and of course some Crystal Stickles and rhinestones for bling. I'm not sure if you can tell but I used some Stampin Up Pretty in Pink ink around the images after cutting and embossing the nestabilites.

I'm entering these in The Crafty Pads Challenge #108 - Hearts and Paper Sundaes Challenge #56 - Pick Your Toppings. I picked Pink and Flowers.

Best Wishes - Last of Three

Alright - mojo stuck with me and I got the third card of the trio finished! I'm so happy with all three and I look forward to trying this set again with some fresher colours! So this time I used Elegant Egglplant ink on the flowers with the Blending Pen again. And then I added a little bit of Dazzling Diamonds.
