Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #35
Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! A few weeks ago I got an email from Shannan asking if I’d like to participate in a Bella Blog Hop. Well, of course I would! You know I love my Bellas! The challenge she issued was to create a Christmas gift using our Bella stamps. Since it also happens to be Cupcake Friday I decided to use Cuppacakeabella for my Christmas gift and matching card. I picked up a pack of Making Memories Christmas paper from Target the other day so that’s where my color inspiration comes from. The image is colored with Copic markers and I drew and cut out a little sprig of holly for the cupcake. I made a coaster box to hold a gift or treat and if CVS had been open at midnight last night I would have had chocolate covered pretzels to put inside! But for now my coaster box remains empty awaiting pretzels. lol. Make sure you check out what the rest of the Bella Blog Hop ladies came up with: Amy Rysavy, Carole Burrage, Debbie Olson, Jen del Muro, Lauren Meader, Michele Boyer, Shannan Teubner, The Bella Blog, and Nicky Manel. Now let me introduce you to the Featured Cupcake Sampler! Frances creates such bright and fun cards for our viewing pleasure on her blog Stamp Owl’s Studio. This week she created an adorable cupcake owl card for the sketch challenge. I love the partially embossed background and all the little details she adds. You can check out all the deets and her other beautiful creations on her blog. Thanks for sampling the sketch this week, Frances! 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 TECC35 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 35). 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 29th 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!
