Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #33
Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! I’m so glad it’s Friday… and it’s been just one week after the release of my new line of rubber stamps! If you placed an order from TE in the last week, your order has been shipped and you should be receiving it soon if you haven’t already! I can’t wait to see what you come up with using your new cupcake stamps! When I saw Debbie’s Olson’s adorable “Who’s Your Mummy” card I instantly thought of using the vampire and a “Fangs so Much” sentiment. The vampire is from the Trick or Sweet set and I colored it with Copic markers and covered his cape with Black Ice Glitter. Then I cut him out and popped him up over a Spellbinders oval cutout. The red layer is stamped with the bats from Frightful Night and the polka dots were stamped using Cornish Heritage Farm’s Polka Dot Backgrounder. I used the new JustRite Brayton Font and Harmony Rectagular Stamper for the sentiment. All of the new JustRite products are scheduled to arrive at TE next week! Now let me introduce you to the Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! Lori caught my eye last week with her beautiful Western Hello card. She decided to pull out her new TE Frightful Night set for the sketch this week. Lori adds so many wonderful details to her cards… I love the pierced corner, the scalloped border, the little ribbon detail! You can check out all the deets on her blog: Make A Difference. Thanks for sampling the sketch this week, Lori! Now it’s your turn to try the sketch! I’ll chose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this weekend to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler next week. Your design and blog will be featured on my blog during Cupcake Friday. You’re not required to use cupcakes for the challenge, but if you got ’em why not use ’em!? You’re welcome to create something other than a card, just stick as closely to the sketch as possible and you’ll be eligible for the Featured Cupcake Sampler honors. If you’re uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC33 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 33). Leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog post or gallery upload so I can check it out! You must have your cards uploaded by Monday, September 15th at 8am PST to be eligible for the featured cupcake sampler. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
And you definitely don’t want to miss the wonderful inspiration from the Cupcake Crew this week!
