Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #60

This is my take on the sketch this week for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. Lucky for me I had some precut ovals I bought on eBay as I don't have anything that cuts or punches oval....I know that's hard to believe!!

I used a mix of paper. The pink background is Sweet Blush Perfect Match from Papertrey Ink. Some of the other paper is Basic Grey-Two Scoops. I colored the cupcakes with my copics, added a bit of sparkle with some Spica's and some white from a gel pen. I tried to get a bit creative with the ribbon...it's not as smooth as I wanted but not too bad.

Can you believe I made two different cards for this weeks challenge #59?!? I loved working with this sketch of Taylor's!

Thanks for checking in!

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55

This card is for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55. This was a challenge for me! Don't usually have to cut that many straight lines! :-) At first I thought I didn't like the card at all but then I added the embossed swirly and the ribbon and this really seemed to bring the card together for me. The plain paper is the Perfect Match paper from Papertrey in Aqua Mist. The patterned paper is "Let it Bloom" from Black Market. Ribbon is Ocean Tides from Papertrey. Sentiment is from Hero Arts stamped with Ocean Tides and the Swirly is from Stampabilities embossed in Whiskers Seafoam White. And, as a final touch the little robin eggs!

This week I also decorated a couple of cute photo boxes for wallets for seniors...but I let those go out the door before I took a picture. :-(

Be creative!

TECC #51

Woohoo! I've played 2 weeks in a row! This is for Taylored Expressions Challenge #51 (http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/). I wanted to make a bright, happy card for a birthday!
The stamp is an old one from Hook's Lines & Inkers that I stamped with Stampin' Up Glorious Green and then I colored the image with Copics. I don't remember where I got the ribbon, but I don't think I had ever used it any of it. I used red line tape to attach the ribbon and finished it off with the little flower brads. The orange paper is from Basic Grey's Cupcake pack. The green is just some old paper I had around.

TECC #50

I spent a lot of time trying to find three small things that would go together for this card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge - http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/. I needed a birthday card for my cousin, so by adding a happy birthday to the inside, I am set....which is good as her b'day is tomorrow! Paper is from Black Market, Let it Bloom 6x6 pad. Large cupcake is from a Stampin Up set, "Birthday Best." I colored it with copics and used a combination of stickles and pick glitter for frosting. The small cupcake is from a clear set from Impression Obsession.

TECC43

I made this card for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #43. I kept this pretty simple for lack of time but I still liked how it turned out. Paper is from Memory Box Winter Wonderland Collection. Sentiment from Stampabilities. Snowflake is punched out and I rubbed it on my Versamark pad and embossed it with holographic embossing powder. Snowman on the inchie is from Lockhart, colored with copics and a few touches of glitter pen. Then, I topped it off with the three blue robin eggs.

Now I gotta head to bed and get some sleep!

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #27

I am a House Mouse Stamp Collector to some extent....not a fanatic, but I love the cute little guys! Taylor's Cupcake Challenge http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/ looked like the perfect opportunity to use my "Birthday Cupcake" stamp. The metallic blue paper was from Paper & More. The patterned paper is from Pocket full of Posies collection. House Mouse stamp is Stampa Rosa and Wish is from Inque Boutique "Sugar Shoppe." I punched the scalloped edge circle out with a Stampin' Up punch and the other circle with a Marvy punch. I colored the stamp with my Copics and used a bit of crystal Stickles for sparkle.
