Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #70

Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! Guess what!? I got some new stamps! It’s been too long since I’ve placed an order at my favorite stamp store, Eclectic Paperie. Have you seen their new Our Craft Lounge exclusive set, Hangin’ Loose with Kona? It’s soooo cute… I’ll have a Kona card to show you tomorrow! Today I wanted to use my new Penny Black Party Animals stamp. Do you see the little cupcake in the corner!? So cute! I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. Portions of the image are also highlighted with Crystal Stickles… it just wouldn’t be a proper birthday card without some bling! The cardstock, patterned paper, and ribbon are from the Dazzled Key Ingredients kit released yesterday for the Spring Spectacular event at TE. Make sure you scroll down to read all about our newest Key Ingredients kits and how you can get your hands on them at a spectacularly discounted price! .JPG)
The sentiment and little mini cupcake are from Papertrey’s Limitless Labels and the little star rhinestones are Tiny Twinkles from the Multi-colored shapes collection. And now I’m so excited to introduce you to another Featured Cupcake Sampler! Gwen Snater caught my eye with her beautifully simple birthday card for TECC68. I loved that picket fence border so much I had to run out to Michael’s and buy it for myself! She took a different interpretation of the sketch this week by flipping it vertical. Don’t you just love the color combination and all the wonderful flower details? You can check out all of the details on this card and more of Gwen’s beautiful work on her blog My Crafty Days Off. Thanks for sampling the sketch this week, Gwen! Now it’s your turn to try the sketch! All you need to do is make a card using the sketch below and upload your link using Mr. Linky by Friday, June 5th. I’ll choose the cutest creation from the submissions to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler. Your design and blog will be .jpg)
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!? If you’re uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC70 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 70). I’m also giving away a free Tiny Twinkle to one random winner from among all the people who upload their sketch challenge cards to PaperCraftPlanet using the same TECC70 keyword. So while you’re uploading your card to SCS and your blog, hop over to PCP and enter yourself in the fun there! I always look forward to seeing what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by today!
