Happy National Vanilla Cupcake Day...

Let's celebrate National Vanilla Cupcake Day with a CALORIE-FREE cupcake that is SUPER CUTE!
...
We have the CUTEST new Thin Cut that can be found in the Core Catalog...Cupcake Card Thin Cut...AND since it's in the Core Catalog, that means it's around for longer than 2 months (hoping it won't sell out and it will make it all the way around the calendar until August 2022)...

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a closeup of that Mocha Glitter Paper I used for the frosting and the Shimmer Trim I used for the sprinkles (if you're wondering an easy way to do that, my process video can be found below)...
--------------------------------------------------------
Don't you just LOVE all the dimension in the cupcake wrapper - I used the Mix-Ins (Nov-Dec) and the light side of Papaya Cardstock for the 'ridges'...let me tell you - our NEW Adhesive Sheets made this SUPER EASY to adhere down (watch my YouTube video below to see how it's done)...
----------------------------------------------------------------
And of course, I had to finish off the inside with more sentiments from the For All Occasions stamp set...


Thank you for stopping by!

I hope you'll go enjoy the "real thing" today - after all, you have an EXCUSE!

Creativity in Motion Blog Hop...

Thank you for visiting my blog on a FRIDAY NIGHT!

We have a special treat for you tonight...I'm joining some other CTMH Consultants in bringing you the Creativity in Motion Special!

If you've come from Miss Carrie's Blog, you're on the right track! Keep on hopping around until you get back to where you started! If you're starting here, WELCOME!!!

Here is a FUN Birthday card I made with some NEW Birthday Borders & Thin Cuts (I elongated the thin cut to make it fit this standard size card) stamps and the NEW Sundance Cardstock! I created the ombre look on the candles using Canary, Flamingo, Raspberry and Lagoon Exclusive Ink...I LOVE the orange and the purple that the ombre created!

Everyday Moments Cricut Collection Video Series - C...

I am moving right along with my Everyday Moments Video Series featuring the NEW Cricut Collection from CTMH!

Here is a look at the project for the Letter C using the Celebrate Layout key. I took a two-page layout and made a 6x6 mini-album with an handmade cover.

As always, I included my Design Space file for you in the description of my YouTube video below. As long as you have the Everyday Moments Cricut Collection, you can use the file to recreate this project...all the sizing is done for you!

Don't forget to check out ALL the videos in the series, as I added some tassels to the cover of my 6x6 album after I posted the video. You'll want to watch how to make these CUTE little embellishments using images that comes with the Celebrate Layout key.

Making a birthday shaker card just got easier!

Birthday Bash with H2H...

Welcome to this week's H2H Challenge featuring anything and everything BIRTHDAY!!!


I have a good friend who had a birthday last week and I totally missed out on giving her a card so I made this quick card to give to her this week!

I love the colors...the stars...and of course the CELEBRATE sentiment from this month's SOTM, Color Your Life...the stars came from the soon-to-be-retired Stargazer...

--------------------------------------------
Here's a close-up of the stars (stamped in Raspberry, Pixie, Blossom & Bashful)...I added dots using my Journaling Pen and some Bashful Pearls for some embellishment. The word "celebrate" is stamped in Pewter Ink and fussy cut using my Micro-Tip Scissors...

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you'll stop on over at the H2H Blog and play along with us this week...only "rules" are that you have to use at least one CTMH Product and it needs to fit our BIRTHDAY BASH theme!

The PPPR girls and I shared some October Inspiration yesterday over on Facebook so I wanted to extend the Halloween theme with a cute birthday card using the hop's FREEBIE (it's still available TODAY for free then you'll be able to purchase it in the store on Monday).

Isn't he ADORABLE...in a spooky kinda way...lol

#BESTBIRTHDAYEVER...

Happy Tuesday y'all!!!!

I had some time to play with NEW product from CTMH the other day and I made this CUTE birthday card for a very good friend...she LOVES purple so it was only fitting that I used some NEW Fundamental papers and the NEW Wise Guy Birthday stamp set to create a card for her.

Here a look...

 ------------------------------------
Notice that bit of shimmer on the polka dots??? That's our NEW Clear Shimmer Brush...it adds just enough sparkle without over-doing it....
------------------------------------------
For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment that comes with this stamp set and it's very fitting since my friend is VERY intelligent...just like me (hehehehehehehe)...

Thanks for stopping by!

****DON'T FORGET**** When you buy 3 Fundamental Packs (Adventure, Whimsy & Enchantment), you get to choose A FREE Uptown OR Rustic Home Fundamental!!! CHECK IT OUT HERE!!! This deal ends at the END OF AUGUST so hurry and get yours!

Here's a look at the Fundamental Pack I used...

You are one COOL KID...

Happy SUNDAY, everyone!!! I hope you're weekend has been GREAT and for all my USA fans, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

It's my turn to share a little PPPR Goodness with you and I chose a Summer Treat that doubles as a cash/gift card holder!

Here's a look at my card...the overall size of the card is 8-1/2 x 3...
-----------------------------------------

And...here's where it gets COOL...lol
------------------------------
The top layers slide off to reveal a pocket big enough to fit some COLD hard cash or a gift card! Trim down the Card Base (brownish color) so the top layer pocket will fit nicely over.
----------------------------------------
And...it wouldn't be complete with a pun-ny saying!
--------------------------------
Cut two of the white layers and make a pocket!


Thanks for stopping by...head over to the PPPR Blog and leave me some love there if you'd like!

Don't forget to grap the Popsicle Fever file to make your own SUMMERY treat!

Balloon Animals - February SOTM Blog Hop...

February is HERE!!! And...that means that CTMH has a NEW Stamp of the Month to share with you!






We have over 40 Consultants participating this month and we're ready to show you some artwork that will inspire you! If you've come from Lauren's Blog, you're on the right track...keep on hopping 'till you get back to where you started!

When I first saw this stamp set, I had a layout in mind BUT I decided to do a card instead!

--------------------------------------------
This card uses a bunch of stuff that was on my craft table or within a short distance...Regatta, Glacier & Whisper Ink and some Fundamental Cardstock...don't you just LOVE that glossy pattern (the other side has the same pattern but in white)! I used my Scallop Border Punch to create a little border piece.


Thanks for stopping by!

Your next stop is Carol's Blog...head on over and see what she's created and don't forget to leave some love along the way!

Urban & Sketchy Cheese Card...

The title leaves little to be desired but there's so much going on in this somewhat simple card, I wanted my title to indicate such...lol.

We have a new sketch for you guys to try over at Feeling Sketchy so I broke out some Urban Paper from CTMH and created this masculine card...
----------------------------------------------------------------
What I {{{love}}} most about embellishments is that you can throw a bunch together from different companies, sources and lines and make them look good!
----------------------------------------------
This sentiment is part of the an EXCLUSIVE Hostess Stamp Set you can purchase by Hosting a Home Gathering or online PARTY....it's ADORABLE!

Thanks for stopping by!

You can head over to the Feeling Sketchy Blog to see the other DT Members' artwork as well as check out the sketch and PLAY ALONG!
