JustRite Cupcake Bite

Today some of the Baker’s Dozen Design Team are bringing special projects using JustRite stamps, available at Taylored Expressions! I love reading non-stamping blogs too, since another one of my favorite things to do is eat (and along those lines, cook & bake occasionally). Have you ever checked out Cakespy artist Jessie Oleson’s blog who is the illustrator of all things Cuppie for Taylor?? Well, months ago I discovered Bakerella’s blog from a link on there who first put Cuppie in edible form for Jessie. I fell in love with the little cupcake bites (see for complete instructions) and knew one day I was going to make some – the day arrived!

The cupcake bite was pretty easy to make but assembling it was a tad more time consuming. However the reactions I got from John, his co-workers and our cousins who tried them, was priceless! They were hmmmming and ahhhhinggg all over the place, it was hilarious! It wasn’t until long after I made them I tried one, because all the sugary goodness was making me a little nauseous although I do love sweets, I kind of need to be in the mood to enjoy them!

I used the SCS pattern for the Round Top Box to house my cupcake bite, which was perfect for just one! I used my Cupcake Key Ingredients, which are temporarily sold out right now but keep checking back, they will return!

The JustRite products I used for the circle on the top of the box are Celebration Demi Phrases and the 2” Stamper with Bonus 15 pt font set that I was able to personalize with *CUPCAKE BITE YUM* on the bottom. In the center, I stamped one of the cupcakes from For the Love of Cupcakes set. Fun, huh?? The ribbon I used on the bottom is one of my favorite ribbons in the store Rose Satin, which is a perfect match for the Prism cardstock Blush Red Light.

Here is a list of all the ladies who have JustRite projects to share with you today, be sure to check them out and have a ‘SWEET’ Day!

More Birthday Blessings to share (and more)

As promised, I have more birthday blessings to share with you!  I love celebrating more than just a birth ‘day’ I like to celebrate my birth ‘month’ continuing with lunches, dinners, etc. with friends and family—it’s been that way for many years and I am grateful for it!  The above gift is from Melanie, she made me the adorable trio of lockers with purses using her Just so Sporty Accessories and Retro Boutique.  She treated me to a great breakfast at Galaxy Cafe and shopping at Embellish Salon where I got the cute headband and earrings (don’t you love the bags they put my stuff in?)  She made me feel special! 

This sweet birthday card is from Charmaine – she is so thoughtful!  She used the new For the Love of Cupcakes set by Taylored Expressions, I think she knows I love cupcakes!!

This bright & cheerful card came from Charmaine as well last month and I am late in sharing it.  She sent it not long after I got laid off from my job to encourage me and I look at it often adorning my stamp area. 

And last but not least, I got this gem of a card/gift from Barb Schram.  I adored the little candle cozy's she made around the holidays and I am the blessed recipient of one!  She sent this to me to brighten my day and let me know since she read of my lay off from my job, I’ve been in her thoughts and prayers.  Isn’t that sweet? 

Thank you, ladies!!  You are blessings to me!!

Bright Summer Grunge Crinkled Blooms

Here are two cards I made using Thursday’s Ways to Use it challenge on SCS {WT222} which was to make your own crinkled flowers {tutorial here}.  I thought it would be fun to use my new Gina K. digital papers Bright Summer Grunge for my blooms.  On the left card, I used Marvy flower punches and on the other card, I tore my papers in a circle and put foam tape randomly around the layers for dimension {see below}.

I made a ‘frame’ for my card on the left, after seeing one somewhere on a blog – and for the life of me cannot remember to give credit, sorry!  On both cards I used olive grosgrain ribbon for the leaves and stems and I made my own ‘grass’ using Ribbon Stripes, which was torn & layered. 

Hope you have a great day – be back tomorrow with more birthday blessings to share!! 

TECC72: A Time for Everything…

 

Happy Cupcake Friday y’all!  I have a sad and happy card Occasion to share with you today; that way they balance each other out.  Like the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:2, there is

A Time for Everything
a time to be born and a time to die…

Back in March, Lee Murphy, her DH and DS visited us and introduced us to a fun hobby!!  I wanted to save info on this hobby for a special post and I’ll go into more details some other time, but for now I’ll tell you it’s something that has made John and I get outdoors and exercise!  It’s also brought some fun people into our lives and one of those people, Andrew died unexpectedly last Monday, much to the shock of a lot of people {he was only 45 and was married for 22 years and has 3 children, ages 18, 14 and 11}.  We visited the family at their home (which happens to be in our neighborhood) the night of the memorial service.  Next week, we plan to take a meal to them and the above card is for them as well.  Since these are outdoorsy people, I made my card quite masculine and earthy with Granola paper by Basic Grey.  I also used the new Lasting Impressions set Faith & Hope for my focal image. 

Now for the Happy Occasion!  It’s Taylor’s Birthday today and this is the card I made for her to celebrate!  Have you read the exciting news on her blog?  I am thrilled for her!!  For the card I made her, I used just the Beary Special Accessories to show you how versatile they can be and even used alone!   But of course, considering how much fun I am having with both the sets I would highly recommend both sets to increase your stamping mileage you get from them!  I used papers from the Freebird Collection by My Mind’s Eye on my card and colored everything with prismacolor pencils, blended with odorless mineral spirits. 

Here is Taylor’s sketch for you to try out - how about a sweet Spring Treat? Taylor is giving away a FREE Tiny Twinkles to one random winner from among all the people who upload their sketch challenge cards to Paper CraftPlanet using the same TECC72 keyword. So hop on over and upload your card at PaperCraftPlanet and you could be the winner of some cute twinkle bling! It’s as easy as that!!! Be sure to leave a comment on Taylor’s blog and leave a link to your blog post or gallery upload using the Mr. Linky service so she can check it out! RememberTaylor changed the deadline for your submissions! You're always welcome to play with any of these sketches at any time, but now you'll have a week to make a card and link your creation on her blog in order to be eligible for the Featured Cupcake Sampler have them linked by Friday, June 19th at 10am CST for consideration of the week’s Featured Cupcake Sampler.

Giraffe For Baby

 

Here is my card for today’s StampTV sketch challenge.  I made this for one of my friends baby to be (they were married last June); remembering half way through I made a circle card for their wedding too!  I used Hip Hop Accessories because I wanted to match the cute giraffe hooded towel they registered for and be sure my giraffe fit on my circle.  I used Ribbon Stripes for the polka dots on the card base, pink taffeta ribbon by SU! and a celery safety pin and my finishing touch was a few clear rhinestones for accents.

Here’s a picture of the cute hooded towel & matching washcloths. 
Below is my sketch if you’d like to play along on StampTV!  You have one week to make a card (doesn’t have to be round, but if you make it standard size, just stick to the center circles) and get your name in a drawing to win a Gina K. stamp set valued at $24.95 or less.  You don’t have to use Gina K. stamps, but if you do, you get your name in the drawing twice!   I do hope you’ll play – if you haven’t checked out StampTV yet – it’s a fun {free} place to learn, chat and more!! 

See ya tomorrow for Cupcake Friday!!

Polished Stone Hot Air Balloon

It’s Wednesday and Gina K. has a new video technique at StampTV to share with you!  This week it is Polished Stone and by accident she kicked it up a notch by bleaching her image after heat embossing.  I attempted to do that on my card, but there wasn’t as much of a dramatic result.  If you look closely at my card, you can see I have a lot of flecks of black embossing powder on my balloon, I’m not sure why that happened since I used a static rub.  Oh well, I think it gives the balloon a rugged, weathered look so I went with it.  

I used my Eclectic Summer StampTV kit but added a few elements from the first kit like the mustard layers and brads.  The horizontal panel that I stamped my sentiment on is some of the new FREE digital papers called Summer Fabrics, I used the Gauze and sponged some mustard ink on it, making sure my daubers made circles to mimic the polished stone.  I also used today’s sketch challenge on SCS {232} but kept my card clean & simple! 

Tomorrow morning I will have my StampTV sketch to share with you, as it’s my week to host!  ’See’ ya then!

Beary Special stuff!!

I have a Beary Special project on the Stamp a Sweet Impression blog today, please go check it out & leave me some stampin’ love!! 

Thank You StampTV Challenge-Style

Here is a card I made for 2 current StampTV Challenges hosted this week by 2 of our Center Stage Spotlight Designers!  The sketch {STVSC15} is by Melissa Shultz (I made mine standard size) and the color challenge {STVSC16} is by Carolina Buchting to use rocket red, chocolate kiss and white!   When you play the challenges there, you can win free stamp sets so why not try?  If you use Gina K. sets you increase your chances of winning!! 

I used the new Eclectic Summer StampTV kit flower and sentiment for my card and kept my card clean and simple by minimizing my coloring-just the flower centers and added crystal lacquer for some shine.  I thought the addition of the flourish was just the right touch since I did not have enough room for my 3 embellishment under my sentiment as on the sketch. 

Thanks for these great challenges, ladies!  

CAS17 & 18: Pretty Bear

I managed to miss last week’s Clean & Simple Challenge so I figured I would combine it with this week’s so I can stay current. It’s the only challenge at SCS I have been committed to so I may as well follow-through!

For last week’s challenge {CAS17}, we were to draw inspiration from beach totes/towels and I used the little bear hooded towel below so I could use my newly released Giving Tree sets Whimsical Wishes Beary Special & Beary Special accessories, by Taylored Expressions!

For this week’s challenge {CAS18}, we are to use pinks/corals, kraft & one other color cardstock. I chose to use pattern paper, prism cardstock colors & embellishments from the April Key Ingredient Subscription kit by Taylored Expressions, because it fit the feel I set out to achieve for my pretty bear!

I colored my bear with prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits and placed a paper-pieced bow by the bear’s ear to make her pretty! I can’t help but smile when I look at this bear!

Remember, a portion of the sale of each of these sets goes to a worthy cause, The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) a health-care community dedicated to improving the health of children. Their mission is to provide the best in family-centered, compassionate care, to lead in scientific and clinical advancement, and to prepare the next generation of leaders in child health. The hospital is located in Canada, but is known around the world for its innovation and leadership in research. You can read more about their much needed and very effective work by visiting their website. I just knew when I first saw this set it was going to become my favorite and you will see another reason why soon when I have a special Stamp a Sweet Impression project to share with you!

TECC71: For the Love of Cupcakes and Faith & Hope - TE Release Day!

Happy Cupcake Friday, Y’all! I hope you have a great cup ‘o joe or whatever your poison may be because this is going to be a BIG post!!

Did you see the sneak peeks from Taylor & half the Baker’s Dozen DT yesterday with the new sweet cupcake set?! I am so over the cupcake about it even though I have MANY cupcake sets – a cupcake lover can NEVER have too many cupcake options!! Here is my peek of the new set For the Love of Cupcakes with plenty of sugary goodness in the form of big and little cupcakes, accessories and more!! I just love Taylor’s sketch today but have to admit turning my bottom layer to the right was hard, as my first instinct is to tilt to the left but I truly like how my card turned out!! I made a cute matching notepad-cupcakes, of course and I wish I had bought more of these when I found them at the Target $1 spot months ago!

Inside view of the notepad and close up of the stack o’ cupcakes! They are topped with various colors of stickles and liquid pearls bought at Taylored Expressions! I used the Cupcake Key Ingredients on my project, I just adore them!

The contents of the key ingredients are so delectable: Prism cardstock colors Suede Brown Medium, Razzleberry Medium & Light, Frosted Yellow, Nautical Blue Light, neutral cardstock Choice Snow White, Doodlebug patterned paper and 5 yummy yards of ribbon, 4 coordinating confections brads (one used on the bottom of the sentiment on notepad cover), and ½ oz. of Cyclamen glitter (used on the outer edge of my cupcake stand).

Here is Taylor’s sketch for you to try out - how about a sweet Spring Treat? Taylor is giving away a FREE Tiny Twinkles to one random winner from among all the people who upload their sketch challenge cards to Paper CraftPlanet using the same TECC71 keyword. So hop on over and upload your card at PaperCraftPlanet and you could be the winner of some cute twinkle bling! It’s as easy as that!!!

Today we have Barb Foster as our Featured Cupcake Sampler!!

My next sample is the die cut cupcake cards you can get for FREE if you purchase the below ‘For the Love of Cupcakes Bundle'” of course, they come plain and you can decorate them all up as you like! I kept mine pretty simple, adding a small band of Eva Basic Grey designer paper to the top of the cupcake liner, prima flowers with coordinating brads in the middle as well as the nicely coordinated Lemonade Twill ribbon in the TE store. I also used some of the die cut stickers you get in the bundle to decorate the inside of the cupcake. These would be great to include in a gift bag for a birthday present or to present a gift card for a sweet friend!

One more surprise – told you this release would be BIG!
Faith and Hope is the first set in our new Lasting Impressions collection that will be released today, a wonderful collection of inspirational & quotes and encouraging Bible verses for those enduring tough times.

I used the Perfect Package-small for the encouragement gift I made. They're made from super sturdy covered chipboard with a white matte finish. The box has a magnetic closure and it easily folds flat for storage with a tug on the ribbon tab. It makes packaging a little gift so classic & easy. I used the May 20th Key Ingredients to adorn my box lid and the contents inside as well as the Labels 4 Nestabilities dies, which coordinates so nicely with the delicate and beautiful fonts and flourishes in this set.

The notecards I made are 3 inches and I had a great time mixing and matching all the designer papers in this key ingredients kit. I even had a mini r.s.v.p. pen to place inside, slipping in a small piece of patterned paper inside the barrel. I also made a jumbo paper clip with a scallop circle, making it double-sided for 2 different looks.

More notecards – total of 6, I probably could have fit a few more.

Lastly, I made a double-sided bookmark with magnetic closure which is my favorite!

Here is a view of the back side of the jumbo paperclip.

Thanks for sticking with me the whole way; I hope you enjoyed all my samples and have fun on the rest of your journey with Taylor & the Baker’s Dozen Design Team. I’m sure you will have even more fun SHOPPING for your new stamping goodies in the store!!

Taylored Expressions Summertime Cuppie Peek Day 2

 

I’m so excited to bring you samples of Summertime Cuppies {my name} in the stamp set Beach Bum that will be released this Friday, June 5 at 10:00 a.m. CST in the Taylored Expressions store.  On my first card, I used the cuppie surrounded by sharks in the ocean since this was my DH’s favorite image in the set.  I used my d’vine swirls cuttlebug folder to make my waves in the ocean and left my cuppie colorless in his face, obviously if you were surrounded by sharks, I’m sure the color would leave from your face too!  I used the bottom section of my long Tags 5 Nestability dies for my sentiment.

On this next card, I used the sunning cuppie on the fun paper-pieced chaise lounge as well as the palm tree and suntan lotion. I used fellow design team Jen Del Muro’s sketch for you to try from Saturday for my card. 

On both cards, I used the Beach Bum Key ingredients: a great collection of Prism cardstock colors, Classic Purple, Intense Kiwi, Nautical Blue Light, Blush Red Medium, Sunflowers Medium along with Choice Buttercream cardstock and the FUN Summer patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Snorkel Collection.  There is also 5 yards of ribbon, coordinating Snorkel cardstock stickers, which I used on this card {Soakin’ Up the Sun!} and a package of bright smooth bling, which I used on my first cuppie card {cherry on top}.  The shaped palm tree brad  I used on this card is not part of the Key Ingredients, but is part of the Beach Bum Bundle which is outlined below.  I also used my fun deckle edge nestability dies for this image, it’s so fun to have some visual interest instead of straight lines sometimes!

Be sure to check out the Summery Cuppie Goodness the design team have to share with you today!  Half the design team is previewing another sweet set called For the Love of Cupcakes, I will share samples of that set tomorrow so be sure to come back!

Thanks for visiting today!!

Taylored Expressions Sweet Release Peek Day 1

I am beyond thrilled to share samples using the most adorable  new Whimsical Wishes set by Taylored Expressions!   A portion of the sales of these 2 sets will be donated to a very worthy charity, Sick Kids as part of the TE Giving Tree charitable program, which is near & dear to illustrator Nancy McKinney’s heart as her family has benefited from this organization.  Please visit Nancy’s blog today for more information on how her son Henri’s story. 

I bet I’m not alone in thinking the stamping community could use another teddy bear set!  I remember being excited about SU!’s favorite teddy bear so many years ago and had fun with it, but with only one teddy bear, I found myself somewhat limited in my creations.  Not anymore, because with the Beary Special set and Beary Special accessories, you will have countless ways to create cards, scrapbook pages, gift items, etc. with many stuffed animals, not just teddy bears!!  I won’t say anymore but I’m sure you will sneak peeks at the other design team members blogs & see more than what I have to share! 

On my first card, you will see I used the teddy bear inside the backpack image and I paper-pieced my backpack, see?  Already having fun with it!  I wanted to make a girly card to send to my adorable niece and found the perfect sized miniature bear to tuck inside the fun pink, grey & black mini backpack {which I found when on the hunt for another camera bag and snagged for only $1.36 at Hobby Lobby – score!}  I replaced the ribbon around the teddy’s neck with ribbon I used on my card, which, along with the cute pink felt button, you can get at Taylored Expressions.

This next card uses the sweet little monkey in the set, as well as some of the Beary Special Accessories to make this a sweet monkey spreading some birthday cheer!!  I used fellow design team member Karen Giron’s Sweet Sunday Sketch 15 for my card, which I thought would showcase my Basic Grey Cupcake papers & brads perfectly!  This card is so cheerful to me! 

My last card, because I couldn’t just pick one to show you, they are all my favorites, uses a sitting bear and I gave him a few special details like patches, anyone ever have any special stuffed animals that needed patching growing up?  I did, but it was a monkey (I’ll save that story for when I share my patchwork monkey card).  I also gave this teddy a cute paper-pieced cap.  I used the Father’s Day key ingredients on this card since I was making it boy!  I used the big button from the embellishments in the key ingredients, and slapped a paper circle on it to match. 

A few reminders for you and I’ll be done!  In order to save costs on manufacturing and be able to donate even more to charity, these sets do not come die cut like Taylored Expressions stamps normally do.  But if you have some scissors, you can trim them from the sheet of rubber pretty easily. 

As always, you will find more details on Taylor’s blog.  These sets will be available Friday morning June 5^th at 10:00 am CST. 

I will leave you with another picture from our trip to CA of our nephew since I plan to send him the patchwork teddy card.  I can’t believe how he’s changed over the months - it amazes me.  I just love this picture, it reminds me how quickly Joseph took to his Nino John, always climbing up on him to relax or be held, you can see how much he adores him here.  Great, fun memories! 

 

If you stuck with me through his whole post, thanks!  I know I was long winded! 

Be sure to hop on over to Taylor’s blog as well as the Baker’s Dozen for more peeks of these adorable charitable giving sets!

Pretty Butterfly & Flowers

I’m running a week behind in posting my challenges completed last week on my blog but then again, there’s not really a deadline for SCS and StampTV challenges for me so it’s all good!  

My first card is for last Monday’s Clean and Simple Challenge {CAS16}  to make over a different card of yours.  I chose to make over this one using my new Eclectic Summer stamptv set butterfly and fun Bright Summer Grunge digital papers.  I also made the cool button embellishment to match  my papers by punching the double circle punch by SU! and then my 3/4” circle punch and embossing it with clear embossing powder, then I tied some white taffeta ribbon through it.

This next card is for last week’s StampTV technique challenge issued by Gina K to paper-piece and SCS sketch {SC230} which was pretty crazy busy with layers but I like how my card turned out.  However, I wish that I had put my Basic Grey Lime Rickey striped paper on the left and the circles on the right, it would have balance out my card better.  Oh well, too late now.   All supplies used on this card can be found in the StampTV Eclectic Summer kit except the small Spellbinders Nestability tags 5 the sentiment is stamped on and white cotton thread it’s hanging on.

As a follow-up to Gina’s video I shared yesterday, here is the announcement of the Center Stage Spotlight Team for June!! Join me in welcoming them!!

I’ll be back tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. for the Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks you do not want to miss – it’s our biggest release yet!! 

StampTV’s June 3D Challenge and EXCITING NEWS!!

 

Here is this month’s 3D Challenge I posted over at StampTV for you to play along with for a chance to win a free stamp set by Gina K. Designs valued at $24.95 or less!

This month, my 3D challenge was inspired by my sweet friend Carolina, who loves to make all sorts of alterable items, especially when they involve recycling!!  I wanted to make a fun package of goodies  & recycle something from my craft room instead of making something from scratch so I found a Heidi Swapp Ghost Shapes Flower package (I forgot to take the picture of it before altering, so I grabbed one from the web that is similar).  Next, I ventured to the pantry to find something fun to put inside – I found water bottle drink packages that would go along with the summery theme I had in mind and they fit perfectly inside the front bubble on the package!  My theme was to use some of my new stamps (Ribbon Stripes and the one free with three Lazy Days of Summer), an oldie but goodie set You are My Sunshine and fun Bright Summer Grunge digital papers designed by Emily Giovanni. SCORE! I love it when a project comes together so well!

I hope you will have a chance this month to play along – as usual, you have until 11:59 p.m. CST on the last day of the month to upload your creation at StampTV!   

And now for the exciting news!  Check out the video from Gina K. below!!  She is always on the cutting edge of great ideas & so generous to recognize great talent/loyalty and reward it! 

Have a great day and see ya real soon!
