Craft Us Crazy Challenge - Cupcakes/Celebration!!

Good Morning! Its Thursday already and that means its time for a new challenge over at

Craft Us Crazy!!

The new challenge theme is......Cupcakes/Celebration!!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is the fab Limited Runs Digi's! The prize is 3 digi images of your choice!

As well as our challenge sponsor we have a monthly sponsor too. This month its.....Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps. 

The top 3 from both March challenges will be put into a draw and the winner will win a $10 gift certificate from this super sponsor! We were also generously given images from Stitchy Bear Digis which you will see on the challenge blog, Here, or on my blog earlier in the week, Here.

So onto my DT card. Limited Runs Digis were so generous to give us all a cupcake image to use for this challenge. I used "One Candle Cupcake". You can find it HERE.

Since it was cupcake as well as celebration theme i decided to make a recipe card. The other image i used here is a Belles and Whistles stamp called "Cupcake". I love this image and couldnt resist using her on my card.

The recipe is for cupcakes and i have printed it onto white card and layered it with Lilac then made a pocket in the inside of my card. My sentiment reads "Celebrate....With Cake"

I hope you can join in with our challenge and just have fun! The creations that we get each week are just amazing. If you can please pop over to the rest of the Design Team s blogs,  they are all so super talented!

Anyway onto the important stuff..its a new challenge over at Craft Us Crazy today!!  Thanks for everyone that made a "Winter" project.

This time the theme this time is..............Nature!!  With it coming into Spring there are lots of ways to interpret this theme.

This challenge is sponsored by CoCoDingo!!

The prize is 4 Digital images of your choice!

...................................

Also for the month of March we are also being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps! 

The prize for this month is $10 Gift Certificate. The top 3 from both challenges this month will be put into a draw and the person who is picked will win this prize! 

Here is my Nature project.......Its a little file card to hold packets of seeds. 

I have used a template that came with a craft magazine (Crafts Beautiful i think) a long time ago. I went through a period of pulling out all those free templates and putting them into a folder and have hardly looked at them since! Now i just keep the whole magazines which are taking up so much space!

Once i had put the file card together i covered it with Wild Rose Studio papers which i had inked with pink. The image is Lilyboo designs, Bunches in the flowers. I have coloured this with promarkers. I did the sentiment on the computer and printed off. I added the chain and garden charms to the sentiment make it look like a bag charm. Its round the ribbon handle which you cant see in the photo, Sorry! The flowers are WOC and all the swirls and leaves are from my Cricut Storybook Cartridge. I added the gems to finish off. 

Heres the inside with packets of seeds in the little pockets. 

I am entering this file card into the following challenges ;

Craft Us Crazy Monthly Sponsor - The Cutting Cafe!

Good morning, its a very early morning as i write this post...cant sleep so thought i would get this card posted.

The Cutting Cafe is one of the amazing monthly sponsors over at Craft Us Crazy. We were very kindly offered a set of printable stamps from The owner, Regina. The Craft Us Crazy DT have been creating all different projects to inspire you during the month of February.

I chose to use the printable set called "This Cake is All Hearts". It was really blown away by what i received, you have so many different options from just the one printable set. If you haven't already then pop over, there is something for every occasion.

I decided to use the large black and white coloured cake. I cut out 2 of the cake shapes and attached at the top so i could make a step card.  The ruffled ribbon on the cake was done by running a stitch along the length and then pull to gather it all up. At the top of the card i cut out 4 hearts at descending sizes, folded them in half and attached then from the fold to create a 3D effect, looks better in real life than it does on the picture. The sentiment came with the set, you get lots of them to choose from too! I added silver gems, pin and heart and key charms to the ribbon to finish it off.

 A big thanks to The Cutting Cafe for providing me with the printable set!

I had lots of fun using this set and thank you for looking!

Remember our "Winter" Challenge is running right now and you have until Wednesday 2nd March.

Hugs,
