Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day!! Thanks for participating in my cupcake day challenge last week. It was fun looking at all of your beautiful creations! Hopefully you’ll find some time this weekend to play today’s cupcake challenge too! The cupcake image on this card is from Lockhart Stamp Company. I stamped it in Palette Noir and colored it with Copic markers. Each of the cupcakes is adorned with a teeny heart rhinestone from A Muse. The pink piece was stamped with a retired Stampin’ Up background Simple Stripes and the brown scalloped border is from Stampendous. The sentiment is My Favorite Things. Until I started typing this I didn’t realize how many different manufacturers I combined into one creation. I love it when that happens! The image and scalloped border were both cut out and embossed using Spellbinder’s dies. That brings me to a question… I feel like a complete idiot, but in all my experimenting with my Cuttlebug I have finally found something that broke my ‘C’ plate. Has anyone else broken a ‘C’ plate? It’s the thick one! It snapped in two spots which makes it really hard to use my Spellbinder’s dies. I’ve looked at Michael’s and they don’t carry ‘C’ plate replacements… I bet they figured nobody would break it. But I have managed to do what

nobody else could! LOL! So if you know where I can find one please leave a comment or send me an email. Soooo… are you wondering what’s the challenge?? You might recognize the color combination on this card from last week’s cupcake card. I enjoyed the color combination so much that I decided to issue a color challenge this week. This combination is so bright & fun and would make great birthday cards, Valentine’s Day cards, and of course… cupcake cards! The most closely matching Stampin’ Up colors are Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink, and Chocolate Chip. Cupcakes are not required for the challenge, but if you got ’em why not use ’em!? ๐ If you’re uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC2 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 2). If you post on your blog, leave a link in the comments so I can check it out! There won’t be any prizes… just thought this would be a fun thing to do on Friday’s! Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
