Tutti Designs - Cupcake Stand

Hello, my friends!

It's Monday, and I'm back with a new Tutti Designs share!


This week I'm using the fun "Cupcake Stand" die.
You can find it HERE.
This die is a really great size at 4" X 4 1/2".
There are many wonderful creative options for a die like this.

Here's what I made:

Isn't that background paper the perfect match? 
First thing I did was cut the die out of the center of the background paper.
I placed red cardstock behind it, and adhered it to the base.
Then I cut the die again out of yellow cardstock,
and adhered it into place, in the opening of the background. 
I like the red popping through. 

I then added glitter glue frosting, and a few rhinestone cherries.

Finally, I added a red ribbon bow.

Here's a closer look at the lovely detail:

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Crate Paper - Party Day, Recollections - Cardstock;

Bling: Crafts - Mini Rhinesetones;

Glitter Glue - Opal;

Ribbon: Offray.

Tutti Designs Die Used:

New Release at All Dressed Up

Hello, my friend!

Welcome to a New Release post for All Dressed Up!

I'll be here on the 7th of each month to share a fun new image with you! :o)

Today I'm sharing a new image called "Jungle Friends",
which you can find HERE.

What a fun image this is!

I decided to have some simple fun with it.
I printed the image out on green cardstock. 
I die-cut around it with a circle die, and layered it on another circle.

I went through my stash to find a paper that had a jungle feel.

I think this one works nicely.

I adhered the circles to the background paper with foam tape.

 Then I matted the background piece onto another layer of green cardstock

before adding it to a white card base. 

Finally, I added some enamel dots and a ribbon bow.

Other Materials Used:
Papers: DCWV - Textured Cardstock, Basic Grey - Sweet Threads;
Dies: WRMK - Nesting Circle Dies;
 Unknown Enamel Dots;
Ribbon: Offray

Making Memories Crafting Challenge #5

Happy Friday, my friends!

Welcome to a new Challenge at Making Memories Crafting.
Our challenges will run monthly, and begin the first Friday of each month. 

This month the challenge is:

Anything Goes

It's such a popular theme! 
I know you'll all want to enter! :o)

Our generous sponsor this month is:

Sparkle N Sprinkle

For my card I used the lovely "Country Flowers" image.

You can find it right HERE in the shop.

This image comes pre-colored or ready to color.

Since I'm rather pressed for coloring time these days,

I opted to use the pre-colored version.

Isn't it pretty?

I actually printed out two copies. 

I fussy cut the entire image from one,

and then fussy cut some flowers out of the second.

The sentiment is also from the digital set.

I did some simple layering, and added a ribbon bow.

Finally, I added some sparkle with a marker.

Here's a closer look:

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Recollection - Cardstock;

Dies: Tutti Designs - Stitched Nesting Banners;

Ribbon: Offray;

Bling: atyou Spica - Clear.
