Cupcake Inspired

Hi! I’m happy to be here with a bold Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 394 inspired card.

Here’s my card using a STAMPlorations digital stamp.

I colored the cupcakes with a variety of red markers and a silver glass pen.

I have a discount code for you. Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share.

Use COUPON code

STAMPGIRLMELISSA

and receive 20% OFF at STAMPlorations! I also made a homemade stamp that I created using CUTplorations Clustered Hearts die and some fun foam.

I masked off the digi and then stamped with my homemade heart stamp. Finally, I colored in the hearts and fussy cut the panel attaching the panel to the black card base with foam tape.

If you’d like to know how I made the stamp please go here to see the process that I used to make another stamp with a CUTplorations die and some fun foam.

I decided to leave this card sentiment-less for now. 🙂 Cupcakes and hearts? What more is there to say?

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Here’s the coupon code again. There’s no expiration date.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Guest Designer

Hi! I’m happy to be here for STAMPlorations as a guest designer for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

Oooooo, don’t these look yummy!

I printed the “You’re so sweet…..All you need is a cupcake.”

Then I fussy cut the sentiment and added some red outlines.

I colored the cupcakes with silver, black and red glitter glue.

LOVE TAGplorations – Day 2 – February 9, Thursday

Hi! I’m here for the 2nd day of the LOVE TAGplorations event.  The event will last for 7 days, with the final day being Valentine’s Day. The STAMPlorations Girls will be showcasing love-themed or Valentine’s Day tags or projects which include tags. You can play along too! 

Here’s my very traditional Valentine’s Day tag:

I made my tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.

Then, I die cut 2 stencils using the CUTplorations XOXO Word Die and the Hugs Word Die. I sponged red ink through my homemade stencils.

I love making my own stencils with CUTplorations word dies. Here’s a photo from a previous project.

I have a fun discount code for you! Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share.

Use COUPON code STAMPGIRLMELISSA

upon checkout and

receive 20% OFF at STAMPlorations.

I used the lovely CUTplorations Clustered Hearts Die

and added the negative pieces of the die cut to embellish the bottom part of the tag.

Check out the bottom of this post for the details of the 20% off coupon.

I added some red and white twine. I decided that my tag needed to wear some

itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie scarlet polka-dot washi-ni,

so I added a bit of that.

😉

I had a lot of fun making this tag and I hope that you enjoyed seeing it. Please make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,
Melissa
