Grumpy bird

Hey all! Today at Cupcake Inspirations we are letting you know you still have time to "put a bird on it"!




My card features a very old stamps from Inkadinkado. I think they are no longer in business. But the grumpy cardinal in this set just makes me laugh! And the sentiment is perfect with him or her.


You have one more week to put you best bird forward  at Cupcake Inspirations!

Live life in the meow!


There is a new challenge posted over at one of my new favorite challenges- The Library Challenge. If you are a reader this is a great challenge for you, but even if you aren't the book covers are so inspiring!


This week the challenge is based on the book "The Rainbow" by D.H. Lawrence. D.H. wrote very racybooks for the times. If you don't recognize "The Rainbow", you might know "Lady Chatterly's Lover" one of Lawrence most famous books.


What struck me about this cover was the bold primary colors and how they played off of each other. I decided to use the same colors and the layout. I am definately a cat person, so I pulled out an incredibly old stamp set from Inkadinkado. It was a give away at a Michael's opening. I go for this set time after time. We all have sets like that. What's yours?


To jazz it up I had to add some gems to the flowers on my kitties. The sentiment is from  a brand new set at Newton's Nook called "Cat-itude".

Go check out The Library Challenge.

Old Bird


Birds, now there is a bit of stretch when it comes to a guy card huh? But that is what the challenge is at the Male Room this week.



 I love birds and watch them from my studio windows. I have a million bird stamps, but when it came to this challenge, I had to go to the bin of stamps rarely used anymore to find just the perfect stamp. I picked up this set from one of those big box craft stores- Inkadinkado "bird assortment". The birds are so much fun and there are some great sayings to go along with the images.


 I used watercolor paper as my card base and did a light blue wash and then sponged light blue with a screen stencil. I stamped the branch with a brown ink and colored the leaves with copics. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the terrifically grumpy cardinal and popped him up on the card. Add the perfect sentiment and this fun guy card was done. I am saving this for my brother's birthday.

Please play along at the Male Room and show us your best guy bird cards!

Happy New Year!




Happy New Year everyone!  The challenge sketch twist at Try Stampin' on Tuesday is "sparkle it up". Well duh?!!? Isn't New Years all about the sparkle?!!? The party chick stamp is a very old Inkadinkado stamp. It sure was perfect for this challenge. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see all the glitter and bling on it. 




 I had such fun with this sketch that I made two cards. Hubby will get the house mouse card as he just loves cute cards with cute little critters on them. 

Wishing everyone a healthy, creative and blessed 2014!
