Snappy Stampin' w/ Arielle

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." ~ Isaiah 55: 8-11

TIME TO PARTY / TECC52SH...

My 4th card is based on Stephanie's sketch for Taylored Expression's Sketch Anniversary Celabration.

For this card I used my curly label punch for the cupcake/sentiment from the stamp set Time to Party, both by Stampin' Up! I stamped the cupcake top in Riding Hood Red onto So Saffron & paper pieced it on the image that I had stamped in Pumpkin Pie. I ran my Pumpkin Pie cardstock through my Big Shot

using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The top of the card is Washington Apple DSP.

Bye for now~

A HAPPY HEART (wrapped in ribbons) / TECC52VC...

An awesome 3rd sketch for Taylor's Challenge brought to us by Vicki!

I went a little crazy with the ribbon, but I really LOVE ribbon! I thought the lines in Vicki's sketch could best be respresented by ribbon...

The stamps are by Stampin' Up! ~ I used A Happy Heart & Crazy for Cupcakes. I paper-pieced the little cupcakes to put onto the tic-tac-toe board. The colors used are Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, and Barvo Burgundy.

STITCHED SHERBERT-Y CUPCAKE / TECC52TV...

This is one of nine cards I'll be doing this week for Taylored Expression's celebration of a Year of Cupcake Challenges! YAY! Yes, I know 9 cards is a tall order when you work full time & have a teething 7 1/2 month old at home & a husband that works nights... BUT THAT'S WHY IT'S A CHALLENGE, RIGHT?
Anyway, I used Stampin' Up!'s Party Hearty stamp set for this card. The DSP is also Stampin' Up!, Tangerine Tango Patterns. I inked the cupcake in Only Orange & Gable Green and the candle in Tangerine Tango & Apricot Appeal... then I shaded them in the same colors of SU! Watercolor Crayon. I added some faux stitching with a Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen, punched out the DSP with a Martha Stewart scalloped border punch, and added a couple Making Memories cute little button brads.

One down and 8 to go!

ALL THAT & A GIANT CUPCAKE / TECC52DB...

Sketch #2 for TECC's One Year Celebration, courtesy of Donna. What a terrific sketch~ I love it!

I pulled out my retired Stampin' Up! set, She's All That, man how I wish it were still available in the catty! It was in a mini-catalog last year and it's so funky! I used stickles and a rhinestone for the cupake, which was punched (Martha Stewart cupcake punch). I also used SU!'s 1-1/4 inch square punch for the squares along the outside of the image, punched from Urban Garden DSP, also SU!. The colors are Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy & Kiwi Kiss. I also used my Nestabilites for the scalloped frame around the image!

Thanks for looking!
