Pinkfresh monthly challenge


Pinkfresh Studio is my new fav stamp company. I love all the botanical images that have corresponding dies and stencils. There are so many ways to use them. 

I have collected a few over the last year, enough that I decided to join this month's challenge.

 

The challenges are theme and color based. You can do one or the other or both. the theme is leaves and greenery.

My card features "Folk Garden". I used the stamp, stencil, and die. To create some interest I dry embossed the die for the background on my card.

You have all month to play along at Pinkfresh's monthly challenge. Maybe I will see you there!

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!

Enjoy the Ride

 OK, I am taking a bit of poetic license with "Sports" theme at Cupcake inspirations since I have run out of sports theme stamps, I had to go searching through my stash to find something that works.

I came across this set from Art Impressions. I think skate boarding can be considered a sport. And I know shopping can be considered a sport.


You have more week to share your sporty theme creation with us at Cupcake Inspirations! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
