Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 382

Hello lovelies, Happy Sunday!

It is time for another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

This week's sponsor is 7 Kids College Fund!

Tomorrow is Halloween, I'm so excited!!!

My oldest son will be "glow-in-the-dark skeleton", my twin boy will be a train (he's totally obsessed with trains!), my twin girl told me a month before Halloween that she wants to be Elsa, so my baby girl will be Anna to go with her. 

Anyway, this fun color combo couldn't be more perfect! Not to mention the fun eye balls! 

Here is my take...;-)

EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!

Can I tell you how much I love this card!!? *LOL*

I stamped them all with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored in with Spectrum Noir Markers, then die cut with the matching die sets. 

My witch kitty has a purple hat and dress, and a little ghost kitty has...well, a white sheet over him! *LOL* 

Here we have is Dr.Frankenstein's monster kitty, he is my favorite!

 Coloring him was really really fun! When do you get to color your kitty chartreuse!? ;-)

I added little purple dots with a purple gel pen in all the kitties' eyes.

The spider web background is totally awesome, isn't it!?

The little speech bubbles with little Halloween sayings were heat embossed except "happy", that was hand written with a white gel pen.

I was originally going to make 3 small cards but they look so cute together, don't they!?

Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day4 - Ornamental Newton and Festive Forest Sets + Coordinating Die Sets

Hello lovelies!
Welcome to the final day of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release!
All the new goodies will be available for purchase tomorrow Friday the 28th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!
Today we are sharing 2 stamp sets along with their coordinating die sets!

What a cute image!

Newton is so mischievous and adorable!

This is such a versatile and perfect set for Christmas cards!
Alright, here is my take...;-)

Here we have is a very naughty but super cute kitty!
He couldn't help himself but to jump on one of the shinny ornaments on a tree... Now he is stuck and just dangling helplessly but cute.*Hee Hee* I have a slider behind him so he really does dangle sideway. 

Coloring this cutie was so much fun! I used the Zig Clean Color Brush set, then added some shimmer on the ornament with the Pearlscent watercolor. 
My favorite part of this image? His rear feet with cute pink paws...*giggle*

I knew I wanted him to dangle, but I couldn't come up with the perfect design and it took me a few days to finish this card! I know, so crazy... Then I saw this vellum with pines and BAM! DONE! I love patterned vellum...sigh ;-) 

On to the Festive Forest set.
This is such a fun and versatile set, so many designs just flooded my head and I had to make more than one!

First up is this shinny, sparkly design!
I used the Festive Forest Die set to make a tree window, then adhered the gold naked tree. You can see the inside through the tree window...

Here is my beautiful tree on the inside!
I stamped the scribbled tree image with Gumball Green then heat embossed the word tree with gold. Isn't it just gorgeous!!?
Of course I left enough white space to write a little message and sign ;-)

Second one is more traditional look.
I heat embossed this polka dots tree with Gumball Green emboss powder on the Lucky Limeade cardstock, then filled the dots with gold gel pen. The trunk was also heat embossed then die cut. All it needed was a gold star and the sentiment, which was also heat embossed. Of course a few sequins never hurt ;-)

Last but not least is Charlie Brown's tree! *chuckle*
This is my favorite!!!
His beautiful but sad tree needed to be the total focus of this card, so all I did was water color the background, add some ornaments, and a little sentiment ;-)

Seriously, isn't this such a fun set!?
I very much enjoyed playing with this set, this is a must have!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day3 - Holiday Tweets

Hello Newton lovers!
Welcome to day3 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release!
All the new goodies will be available for purchase this Friday the 28th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!
Today we are sharing this beautiful and adorable stamp set "Holiday Tweets".

I absolutely LOVE this super tweet set!
Here is my take...;-)

Can you hear them singing "Falalalala~"!?

This sweet image was heat embossed with light gold and colored in with Spectrum Noir Markers. An image this cute needed to be framed ;-)

I masked the image with a die cut circle and applied embossing paste over a stencil to give some snow all over the base. 
I then heat embossed the sentiment "tweet tweet Very merry" with Pool Party on vellum,  adhered the die cut on the same piece of vellum and fussy cut the whole thing. 

Here is my second card.
I used the same soft colors on white base.

The image was heat embossed with white, colored in with Spectrum Noir Markers, added this branch, which I borrowed from the What A Hoot Purr-fect Die set, then made a nest with snippets of Jude twine. 
The sentiment was also heat embossed with white along with the pine image on a little tag, and this adorable little ribbon, which is from the Pines & Holly Purr-fect Die set, was added to make it look more festive:-)

This little ornament is from the other image from the same set, it was heat embossed then fussy cut. 
I stamped this little branch with tiny leaves on each corner with gold ink, drew random lines with gold pencil, then of course sprinkled some sequins. 
So tweet! *giggle*

This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day2 - Beautiful Baubles & Coordinating Die +

Hi there lovelies!

Welcome to day2 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release!

All the new goodies will be available for purchase this Friday the 28th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

Today we are sharing these amazing new "Beautiful Baubles" stamp set and coordinating die set, AND the Pines & Holly Die Set!

And here is my take...;-)

I decided to make something simple and elegant with this beautiful set ;-)

I heat embossed one of the gorgeous images with gold six times and die cut them all with the coordinating die. Then I scored on the back of each ornament, folded them in half, and glued them all together. I decided to die cut another ornament and adhered the 3D ornament on it. 

(I'm sorry if you can't see the design on the ornament well, I really tried!)

The gold image is really just gorgeous on this deep navy, I am so sorry it is not showing!

Here we have a pair of beautiful tags I made with the new Pines & Holly Die Set.

I have to tall you, these are very intricate and delicate!

Isn't this just gorgeous!?

pines with a lovely pinecone and a little bow :-)

All I added was a snippet of gold sequin trim.

Here's a little holly, I added a longer snippet of gold sequin trim with some tulle.

This die set is super versatile, there are so many possibilities!

Would you like to win the “Beautiful Baubles” Stamp Set?

This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day1 - Sun Soaked Christmas Set

Hello Newton lovers!

Welcome to day1 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release! Woo hoo!

All the new goodies will be available for purchase this Friday the 28th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

Today we are sharing this super fun stamp set called "Sun Soaked Christmas", are you ready!?

Here is my take...;-)

Oh my goodness!

Isn't he the cutest, most awesome Santa ever!?

Look at him just floating around, letting the wave take him wherever its taking him...

He does actually move like he is riding the wave, isn't it fun!?

He was colored with Zig Clean Color Brush Set and the Pearlescent Watercolor set then fussy cut. His glorious beard was colored with the white gel pen.

This awesome sentiment "Gone to the beach! Love, Santa" was heat embossed with white on vellum, fussy cut, and popped up with clear 3D tape. 

Some clear sequins were sprinkled all over for the finishing touch! 

On my second card, I have this adorable "sandman" :-)

The sentiment is so stinkin' cute!

It was stamped with the Antique Linen Distressed Ink on watercolor paper then colored in with the Zig Clean cut Brush set and SU! reinkers. I stamped her hat again then paper pieced it to give some dimension. 

I applied Versamark ink with the Versamark marker on the sand, then added some glittery gold emboss powder. Isn't it pretty!?

Would you like to win the “Sun Soaked Christmas” Stamp Set?
