BIG NEWS!! (CIC242)

I have been asked to join the Cupcake Inspirations Design Team! Yea! I'm so excited. This is my first challenge in this new role and CIC's first challenge of the year. I hope you will join in. :)

Our sponsor this week is Stamping Scrapping!


Stamping Scrapping is generously offering the Spellbinders Layer Creator Basic by Cindy Echtinaw Designs as our fabulous prize to our random winner! 

Thank you for sponsoring this challenge!

Here is this week's inspiration cupcake and color challenge. 


I was really attracted to the "lights" in the background. I used a kraft cardstock base and my cream layer is embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I used sequins from Lawn Fawn and My Style Stamps to create my own "lights". I covered Macaw DIY Thickers in an un-named gold glitter (from Terri) after attaching them to my card front. The inside is super simple with just a Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment stamped in Stampin' Up's Chocolate Chip ink.


I also made these versions because I liked the card so much. :)

Dear Lizzy Primrose Thickers in gold
