Guest Designer for Cupcake Inspirations #358

Hi Everyone,

I have a surprise for you today - I am your Cupcake Inspirations Surprise Sweetie!!!
I am sure you know this delightful challenge - they have the sweetest inspiration photos! And its no different for this challenge.



The sponsor for the challenge is Create a Smile - a German stamp company, which has fabulous sets. I actually bought a few a while ago and then never used them, tsk, tsk, tsk... But now I had a real reason to pull them out! The background I made with Brushos, the bird and balloons are colored with Copics. Some Washi tape and the heat embossed sentiment. I mounted the bird and balloons with foam tape. Added an enamel dot.

Here is the sweet Cupcake Inspiration photo:

On this photo you see that one of the Washi tapes has silver stripes, but it looks grey from head on. But the silver adds a nice touch.


Linking up with:
Seize the Birthday - anything birthday
Create a Smile customer April link-up
Time Out - celebration with optional die or fuzzy cutting 
(did the latter for my birthday card, which I think should qualify for celebration )


Grab Our Badge!

Happy Stamping!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...

We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...
