Colored Birthday Cake

This weeks challenge at The Friday Mashup was to create a project with cake using the colors Costal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Basic Gray.

Here's my entry:

When I seen the colors for the challenge I automatically thought of the Eastern Elegance DSP. Its perfect for this challenge and since the only stamp set I have that has a cake stamp is the Bring on the Cake set I automatically went to that. However, as you can see, I chose to make a layered cake out of the stamps rather than using the stamp with a cake on it. All in all, I think it came out ok. :)

Bright Christmas

I've decided to join in on the Tis' The Season challenges.

This week is a color challenge:

This is not a traditional Christmas color scheme so it was a bit challenging to even start this card. However, once I started, I just rolled with it. I actually quite like this bright card. :)

Its a bit hard to see in the pic but I used some spray glue and Dazzling Diamonds on the snow on the ground to give it just a bit more sparkle. :)

All items used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise noted.

Masculine Birthday

This weeks challenge at The Paper Players was to create a Masculine Birthday Card. Masculine cards are always a bit hard for me as I have the urge to use a lot of glittery, pretty and girly embellishments. Since I recently purchased the World Map background stamp, I figured this was a perfect time to break it in!

All items used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise noted.

A fall card

Its been so nice to be able to get back into my craft room. Its been long overdue!

This week I created a card that I originally planed to use for The Friday Mashup challenge 123 which is to create a project with a tree or leaves and to use the color orange. However, after looking at some other blog challenges, I've found I can enter this card into a few other challenges as well. So I've also entered it into Latenight Stamper's fall into fall challenge, Inky Impressions Fall/Autumn challenge and Around the World Fall or Spring challenge. I do believe this is the first time I've entered one card into 4 challenges. :)

So.... without further ado, here's my entry:

All items used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise noted.

The Friday Mashup 131

Well, once again its been quite a while since my last blog entry. This time I have a good excuse. My husband and I just purchased our first home! I've been crazy busy with packing, moving, cleaning, unpacking and finding the right spot for all our things. Although its super exciting, its very stressful all at the same time. I'm even posting this blog entry today at a local wifi hot spot as we haven't even gotten our internet hooked up yet lol. Last night was the first time I've been in my craft room since our move. I seen this weeks Friday Mashup challenge last night while I was browsing on my phone lol. I just had to get in my craft room and make something for it.

So this weeks challenge was to use this sketch:

And to mash it up by making it a "spooky" project. With Halloween right around the corner I figured why not make a card for a friend who loves Halloween as much as I do.

So, here's my entry:

 

 



I took a second close up picture as they are hard to see in the first but I felt like the black background of the card just needed a little something so I used Versa Mark to stamp some spiders on.

All items used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise noted.
