It's Been Awhile

Hey there friends! Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted on here...sometimes life just gets in the way of things. It has been a crazy past few weeks and I am exhausted. But I did promise more cupcake projects...these are some of my favorite cards I have made over the past few months for the card ministry I am involved in at my church and since they all have cupcakes on them, I thought I would share them! :)

I absolutely adore this one! It was my first time playing with the fabulous Copic markers. They are amazing. They blend super-well and make coloring a breeze. Just make sure you use dye ink (NOT solvent) when stamping and coloring with these markers.The stamp is from Hero Arts. I also added some fabulous paper from American Crafts and added the brown piece that I embossed with my Cuttlebug. Divine isn't it?

Another super simple card to share. I made this card with the leftovers from one of my Disney layouts. I absolutely love the color combo on here as well! :)

This one I copied almost exactly out of a card magazine. I had all the background papers, but I used different diecuts than were in the card. My friend and I had a good laugh over this one because I had all the materials to make the card...that is how much stuff I truly do have.

And finally another sweet simple card that I made with a cupcake stamp, one of my favorite Cuttlebug embossing folders and some KI Memories birthday paper. Isn't it too cute?

Don't forget about my Birthday challenge! It ends tomorrow.
