Cupcake Ruby for FBW

Here is my promised card for Flutter By Wednesdays! As a reminder, our challenge is open this week but you must remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. Also, we are celebrating Danni's birthday month with a giveaway from some of her favorite sponsors each week.  Danni would also love to see some of her favorite things incorporated on your creations - think pink, sparkle, bright colors and of course butterflies & fairies! Click {HERE} to enter your creation!

I used Cupcake Ruby from our sponsor, Sparkle Creations.  I've had her for quite some time but this is the first time she's seen ink!

I incorporated one of Danni's favorite techniques - paper piecing. Every cupcake needs a fun liner, right? :)

The layout is from last week's SCS card sketch~

Supplies Used:

• Sparkle Creations Cupcake Ruby
• Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps - Birthday Greetings
• My Minds Eye Vanity Fair paper
• Papertrey Ink Stampers Select white cardstock
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
• Copics
• Once Upon a Princess Cuttlebug folder
• Martha Stewart butterfly punch
• Basic Grey Bling It

TFL!

Sweet Treats Emily

Good morning! 

Just a quick card to share this morning.  I made it the other day for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. 

Please ignore Emily's pink outfit lol...I swear it matched some of the pinks in the paper when I colored it!  I was inspired by Karen's card sample for the sketch to use the kraft as a base. I ended up making several more cards using the kraft and this Basic Grey Hopscotch line. The stamp is Sweet Treats Emily that I won from a Sparkle Creations' Blog Hop a few months ago.  That's 2 uninked Sparkle stamps used in one week, yay me!  I just got a few more in the mail yesterday, he he. 

Here is the sketch~

Products Used:
PTI Kraft cardstock
GP cardstock
Misc. cream cardstock
Basic Grey Hopscotch 6x6 pad
Copics
Basic Grey Bloomers

Have a great day!

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #1

I just {heart} Sparkle’s blog and was so excited when she announced the opening of her new stamp company.  I had to get a few of her cuties to play with.

This is Swimming Lucy and I created this card for Challenge #1 at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.

I went to a crop yesterday and challenged myself to try different folds on cards, this one is a joy fold card. I was very surprised at how easy it went to together!  I made 10 cards total which will be posted sporadically as the recipients receive them (and a few are for upcoming PTT challenges!) You can find the joy fold card tutorial on SCS here.

Here is the inside of the card ~
