Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #35 October 1, 2008

Here is my card that I made for Taylor’s cupcake challenge.  You don’t have to use cupcakes to participate in the challenges:)  I decided to go Christmas with this one as I have to get started here soon making holiday cards.

I really like this one!  The simplicity of the Kraft cardstock really makes the Riding Hood Red stand out.  And there are so many possibilities with the center stamped image.

Check out what the rest of the cupcake crew has created with this sketch:

Jami Sibley, Monika Davis, Sherrie Siemens, Ana Wohlfahrt, Vicki Chrisman, and Stephanie Hargis.

Last Fridays featured cupcake sampler was Frances blogging at Stamp Owl’s Studio…make sure you check out her creation…she does amazing work!

Beate’s wsc #59 October 1, 2008

Oh yes!!  I’m really late with everything this week lol.  The list of things “to do” is so long but this is a happy place and I won’t bore you all with that:)

This is my card for Beate’s wsc #59:

I wanted to use Stampin’ Up!’s Pick a Petal stamp set that I’ve neglected to use for quite some time.  Dusted it off and inked it up a little.  I wanted to use all of the same petals but wanted a simple sentiment to flow with the design of the card.  I used part of one of the petals…the one that is a flower outline with the word “smile” in it, just to follow the pattern of a petal used.   Added some white dots to the patterned paper to coordinate with the stamped petals.  To emphasize a circle to the bottom right corner of the card like the sketch, I decided to pierce some holes in a circular pattern to draw your eye to the flower focal point. 

Check out the sites of these extremely talented stampers for more wsc samples:

Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig, and Sharon Harnist.
