Not Old

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. Today I am showcasing a set designed by Becca Cruger called A Snarky Birthday To You which I combined with the Curly Labels/Tags Nesting Dies. Here it is my snarky DT piece ...



The one was an easy one to make, pretty straight forward, stamping, watercolouring and fuzzy cutting. Throw in a couple of die-cut labels, a piece of decorative tape and metal embellishment and your card is finished.

My card will be entered at:

Craft Stamper Take It Make It January - Anything Goes

Less Is More - Water, watercoloured my balloons



I am keeping it short and sweet today. For more inspiration, pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see the beautiful projects my teamies created and whilst there you can leave a comment for your chance to win a gift certificate redeemable at their store.

Enjoy the start to the new year!

Cupcake & Butterfly

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am celebrating with the Sweeties from the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. They are celebrating their 400th challenge, and they are celebrating big. The idea is to make a birthday card using one of their past challenges as inspiration.

I didn't stray very far into the past taking my inspiration from challenge #397.

I simply loved the chocolate butterflies or did it simply have to do with working with some of STAMPlorations' new dies? BTW STAMPlorations is one of the sponsors hence my GDT spot as part of the STAMP team.

Well, I picked up the Flutter Zen 2 Layering Die, the Sketched Cupcake and the A Snarky Birthday To You sets plus Coffee Archival, Strawberry Slush and Bermuda Bay inks to create this watercolour beauty.

If you fancy joining the celebrations, pop over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog for some more cupcake inspiration and to link up your make.

That's it from me for today. I shall be back in tomorrow with more of my makes.

Have a lovely week!
