I used Kenny K's Thumbs Up Kid digital stamp for this card. I colored him up using my Prismacolor pencils. I fussy cut him out and mounted him on a star I cut from my Shapeabilities star dies. On the star points, I added Your Next Stamp's Gumdrops in Sterling Silver Glitter. You can't see the glitter because it was such an overcast day but it adds just a little bit of fun sparkle.

Very simple card because boys like it that way. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

This cutie is a PolkaDoodles image called Winston Bear - Heartfelt. I colored him up using my Prismacolor pencils. I used my Shapeabilities heart dies for the embellishment and then covered it in Christmas Red Stickles. The card stock mat is from a pack of colored papers that I got from the Target craft section. The card base is Neenah Desert Storm.

The sentiment is from a WPlus9 set called Fresh Cut Florals. I inked it up in Versafine Black Onyx ink. The sentiment is cut out with my Stampin' Up die set.

I meant this for a friend of mine but my middle child saw it and wants to take it to her teacher who will be out tomorrow. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

It's time for another challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations!! 

I hope you'll come over and join us. 

We are sponsored this week by 2 Cute Ink !

2 Cute Ink is generously providing a prize of 2 digis to our randomly chosen winner.

Thanks so much for sponsoring our challenge, 2 Cute Ink!

Each challenge, we give you an inspiration cupcake and you make a card or other craft project that is inspired by the cupcake.  

Here is this week's cupcake.

I used this cute image that was a freebie when 2 Cute Ink was celebrating their 500 FB likes, I think. :) I don't remember exactly what we were celebrating but we were celebrating all the same! 

I used my Nestabilities circle and scalloped circles dies for my main image. 

The card stock is an unknown green from my stash (Green Galore, maybe?) and Real Red. I embossed the green panel with my Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder. The card base is Basic Black. Added some twine around the panels and then dicided it needed a little bling. The rhinestones are from the Target dollar spot.  

On the inside, I layered more of the card stock and used my Stampin' Up 'Celebrate' set in Real Red ink. This will probably end up a birthday card but it doesn't have to be. 

Thank you for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
