Cupcakes

This week's Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge is a nice twist on my normal style. The Etsy Inspired challenge from Becky Kazan's shop made me think of the Two Peas in A Bucket Wilna Frustenberg free Coffee and Cupcakes kit. The kit is great and I've used pieces of it for some other cards, click here and here. This time I changed the size of one of the pages to provide for the backgrounds (the clouds are printed on vellum). Kristina Werner's Finally Friday challenge is for a birthday card.

Materials: Wilna Frustenberg digital coffee and Cupcakes kit, cream card stock, vellum, Fiskars 2 inch punch, Stampin Up circle punch, Paper Source circle punch, Fiskars rotary scallop cutter, Making Memories Eyelets

French Press Card

I love how my online card addiction takes me to all sorts of cool places for inspiration and challenges. This card is a combination of a number of challenges. I started off at Two Peas in A Bucket and they've got a current challenge that requires you to use one of their free digital kits. I thought that sounded like fun. Being that I have a thing for coffee I downloaded the Coffee Cup Album: Cupcakes and Coffee by Wilna Furstenberg. Then I decided to try out a different blade on my rotary cutter to see if it would look like faux stitching for Jenny's Wee Memories stitching contest. And then I threw it together in a take on this week's Card Patterns sketch. I saw a lovely blurb on By The Cute and Girly about "Something old, something new, sometthing borrowed, something blue" and realized that this card works well. Old is the blade from the cutter (which I never use, but now think is cool), new is the vellum I just got last week, borrowed is the lovely digital image and blue is the card stock and background.
