All That Glitters Is...

Silver! You betcha! I was inspired by these gorgeous cupcakes to create a card with silver on silver! I'm loving this shimmer without being too sparkly! I hope you'll play along with us at this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!


DEEtails:

This card was so simple to make. I grabbed some Brushed Silver card stock and stamped some Delicate Doilies from SU! with VersaMark ink. Then I added my sentiment from SU!'s Curly Cute set. I heat embossed the doilies and sentiment with silver embossing powder to create the beautiful tone on tone look. Easy Peasy!

Psst! This Cupcake Inspiration might be the perfect inspiration to use some metallic ribbon and play along with my I {Heart} Ribbon Challenge too! I can't wait to see what you create! :)

Winner Wednesday!

Here's the winner of the Red Ribbon Challenge! Congratulations to Mynette and her fabulous holiday card!

Today I'm sharing a fun card that I made featuring a stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog that I haven't been able to use yet. Although this stamp is no longer available through Stampin' Up!, you could substitute the center image with any fun stamp to make this card work for any occasion or theme.

Here are the DEEtails:

I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and punched the top with the Spiral Punch (available on the SU! Clearance Rack) and stamped my image from SU!'s Festive and Fun and colored the letters in with my Stampin' Write Markers (Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Melon Mambo. I die cut a doily with Regal Rose card stock, using the Perfect Pennants die and adhered it to a Pretty in Pink card. Then I used a stapler to attach a small piece of Pretty in Pink Dotted Scallop Ribbon to my "note" and layered it on my card along with a strip of Melon Mambo card stock punched with the Scallop Edge Border punch. I embellished the card with a few Designer Buttons (Rose Red and Pretty in Pink) and a Bitty Button threaded with some Baker's Twine. Hope you like it!
