Citrus Cupcake card

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a Citrus Cupcake card with you, creating my own colors of background patterned paper.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I started off with some foilable paper from Crafty Meraki, but instead of foiling it, I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks! I used colors that reminded me of grapefruit, oranges, and lemons.

Next, I colored up one of my favorite cupcake stamps with the same colors. Love these colors for Spring and Summer!

I also foiled that Hi hot foil plate sentiment with copper colored foil! I know it’s difficult to tell the foiling and color in these photos…it’s so difficult to capture foil in a picture!

I put it all together with a sentiment from the cupcake stamp set. I just love how it all came together!

I hope you enjoyed this citrus inspired project today! I’ll be back with another card to share soon!

Cupcakes and Ice Cream

Hello…I have a new Hedgehog Hollow Kit for September. It’s filled with donuts and ice cream, mints and cupcakes. Delicious!

I’m sharing a card using the ice cream layering stencil and the cupcake stamp today.

It’s quite a fun card to put together! And so easy, too. I share all the details as well as everything that is included in the September kit in the video below. Or watch it in HD on YouTube.

You’re Still Hot: Quick Birthday Card

Hello! I have a fun birthday card to share today with a new stamp set called “Perfect Match.” This set is a smaller set and is filled with fun sentiments. I especially love the one that says “You’re Still hot, it just comes in flashes now.”

Ha ha ha! That’s the one that I ended up using on my card today. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m sharing some fun resources and TIPS for creating quick birthday cards. For example, if you are in a hurry for a card, try using patterned paper instead of creating your own background.

Also, use larger sentiments or alpha dies to fill up the card.

Can you see the glitter I added to the matches and flames? I love my Stardust Stickles!

Make the Card Challenge #10

Hello! Today I’m participating in the Make the Card Challenge #10. It is a color challenge this time of purple, pink, teal, and lime!

Now, you probably think that I would make an Easter card….and that’s what I thought I would do, too! But I am surprising us ALL with this beautiful cupcake card:

I made a strawberry cupcake (PINK), with a (TEAL) cupcake liner, added some (PURPLE) frosting with a blackberry, and a slice of lime (LIME)! What a bright and fun cupcake, right?

I’m imagining there is a lime filling also. YUM! This could be an Easter cupcake, really…with all those spring colors.

I stamped this beautiful cupcake onto Bristol Smooth cardstock so I could use my Zigs to color it. I love these markers, so easy to blend on this smooth cardstock. I used these colors and a waterbrush to blend them out:

Cupcake: 200 S.Almond Pink, 230 Pale Rose, 026 Light Pink, 027 Dark Pink
Liner: 036 Light Blue, 042 Turquoise Green
Frosting & Blackberry: 803 English Lavender, 080 Violet, 084 Deep Violet, 027 Dark Pink
Lime: 041 Light Green, 045 Pale Green, 047 May Green, 051 Lemon Yellow

To finish it off, I added some Lavender cardstock as the frame and some pink enamel dots!

If you’d like to see just how EASY this is to watercolor, check out my video here:
