I love sweets and chocolate. So these cupcakes naturally speak to me! I paired them with festive colored papers so I could enter the card into the current challenge at The Paper Shelter. So fun! (Oh… and I wasn’t sure if pastels are bright enough to be considered as “Festive” so I did some google research. And they are! (Check HERE for the link.)  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- The Paper Shelter-(You're My Cuppy Cake)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- “Happy Birthday” Papercrafts Magazine Freebie (no longer available)

·   Inside Sentiment- “Have a Sweet Day” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (One Fine Day)

·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources

·   Ranger Glossy Accents (chocolate frosting. I bent it when adding foam tape. Hence, the "fold"!) 

·   All other items from my stash.

I also love snow… so snow people often show up on my cards. This friendly snow guy stands out (or should I say stands up?!) on an easy-to-make easel card. (PS- As I post this card we are in the middle of a winter storm. Heavy snows are forecast, with up to 5 inches of the white stuff within the next few hours, and the wind is supposed to pick up by mid-afternoon. So, I decided to make it an official snow day. I’ll work a few hours and then use some hours of PTO to spend the rest of the day in my craft room. Yay! Snow days still create as much excitement for me at they did 5-6 decades ago!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- All Dressed Up (Snowy Days) 

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment “Let It Snow…” and Snowflake Stickers- JoAnnes Crafts

·   Inside Sentiment- “Wishing You a Jolly Good Holiday” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Cozy Christmas)

·   Silver photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 Photo Mounting Corners)

·   Easel Card- Instructions found HERE  (I started with a vertical card base to add the height needed!)

·   All other items from my stash.
