Inspired by…Cupcakes

Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge…this time with a sweet photo and theme…


Cupcakes! I kept the colors and theme, but changed to a birthday cake using The Greetery’s “Take the Cake” set…


I also used “BotaniCuts: Strawberries,” and the “Take the Cake: Banner die ” and “Take the Cake: Stand die ” along with “Frosted Frames” to cut the border. My cake is blending a bit too much into the background, haha, but when I remembered this paper, this idea popped into my head!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pastel Celebration

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge with a recipe for a pastel celebration…


I made an Easy Pop Up Shadow Box card using a tutorial by Stamptastic Designs on YouTube!

This card collapses to fit in a standard A2 envelope. I used The Greetery’s Bunny Hop, BotsniCuts: Carrots, Springtime, and Drifring Hills. My sentiment is heat embossed in gold, and also a panel on the back with Happy Easter as my celebration. 

Used lots of die cuts including the bunny and circular window. I used one tiny bow on the big carrot! Such a fun challenge.

Inspired by …Spirals

For this week’s Inspired by Challenge… this sweet spiral of hearts! 

I cut several heart wreaths from different papers with my Cricut Joy to make a layered wreath.


I used the provided sketch, as well. I added a sentiment from The Greetery’s “Opposites Attract.” 


The background is made with the “Herringbone Parquet” die, also from The Greetery.  Such a fun photo this week!
