Freshly Made Sketch #86; Cupcake Birthday Card

Image
I'll admit it, I am hooked! I love doing a challenge card. It motivates me and helps me to get those creative juices going. I had a birthday card stamp camp on Saturday and the sketch for this week was just what I needed.  I combined some current products with some that are leaving soon. The SU paper stacks are retiring, I will miss them so much. I have at least two stacks in every color family. I use them on all of my cards. And then there is my Bashful Blue, it has been a tried and true color for every occasion......and the Curly Cute stamp set....wahhhhh! Ok, well enough lamenting here is the card I came up with. Supplies stamp set : curly cute ink : chocolate chip paper : sahara sand, whisper white, and rich razzleberry card stock; chocolate chip, bashful blue and calypso coral designer prints dsp; silver glimmer paper accessories : white taffeta ribbon, scallop edge punch, cupcake builder punch, and chevron embossing folder And here is the sketch tha

Here is a card I made recently as a swap card. It features the Epic day designer series paper, I do really like that paper :). The stamp set is from the NEW My Paper Pumpkin monthly kit. I get these once a month in an adorable little box. Each month you get a different kit and mini stamp set. The first month comes with this cute stamp set (the Hey There and the splotches), supplies to make 4 cards (not shown) and a clear mount block. You can sign up to receive them regularly, stop at any time or pick and choose which sets you would like to receive. It is a lot of fun and the cards have really come in handy. They only take a couple minutes to complete, perfect for beginners and those with little time to stamp. If you are interested in learning more about the monthly kit just click on this link, MY Paper Pumpkin , to get started.

Freshly Made Sketch & New Products

     I needed to get my creative juices flowing so I went in search of a new sketch. I stumbled across this blog Freshly Made Sketches , their sketches are right up my alley, I love their clean and simple style. Usually, I just jot down the sketch and go along my merry way. But this time I decided to actually play along.      I also happened to get my box of NEW Stampin' Up! goodies this week so I have incorporated those as well. Being a SU! demo I get to order a few items from the upcoming idea book and catalog. So I ordered a set of the new In Colors and a couple of the new colors being introduced.      Well, here is the Freshly Made Sketch #84, FMS84, and my first ever challenge version of it. I used three new colors Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar and the re-introduced Soft Sky. The fluffy flower is made from the Creped Filter Paper, just $2.95 a package. I punched them and colored them with my ink pad. Supplies : stamp set: Label Love (2013-2014 catalog) ink: pri
