DCBC Shares

It's time for the DCBC sketch challenge and I have two shares for you today. But first, here is the sketch.

And as promised, here is my creation using a couple SAB sets, So Happy For You and Punch Bunch. The colors are Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

The second share I have to you uses some of the SAB DSP and a set from the Occasions Mini, Eat Chocolate. As I have previously mentioned, I'm part of this group and we have monthly challenges and/or kits. March was my month to present the kit and April will be when we present our creations. This is one of my creations. The kit that I provided, was one piece of the SAB DSP, 1 sticker sheet, Whisper White grossgrain ribbon, a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, and the stamp set Eat Chocolate. The colors are Early Expresso, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out our homepage to add your own creation.

Eat Chocolate and a Quick Tutorial

Here is a card that I made using Eat Chocolate. The colors are Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, and Early Expresso. It is a CASE of a swap I received.

I originally was going to make it as one of my swaps for the Minneapolis Regionals, but I ran out of time with all the favors I had to made. At first, I thought I was crazy for attempting to cut out all those cupcakes, but I came up with a little trick to cut them out fast. So as promised yesterday, here is how I did it.

First I colored the cupcakes as desired and stamped. Since I was only using Pretty in Pink and Early Expresso here, I inked the image up in Pretty in Pink and then took my Early Expresso and colored over the portions that I wanted Early Expresso. Note, this would not work for the cupcakes I showed yesterday. I  then took my 1/2" circle punch and punched out each cupcake, making sure the top of the cupcake lined up with the punch. I hope you can see this is the picture below. Apparently I'm not very good at taking pictures of myself trying to work, sorry about the blurriness.

Then, I took my paper snips and made three straight cuts. One along each side and one along the bottom.

And you then have your cupcake all cut out and can adhere to your project as desired.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you found that quick tutorial helpful.

Sketch Frenzy Friday

Hi everyone! And happy Friday! That's right, it's time for Sketch Frenzy Friday and I have a creation for you! First, here is the sketch.

I have to tell you that I did have a tough time with this. But here is what I came up with, using some of the SAB paper and accents and Eat Chocolate. The colors are Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight.

Thanks for stopping by and your next stop is the homepage where you can add your own creation. Tomorrow I will have a little tutorial on how I cut out the little cupcakes along the bottom off the card too. You don't want to miss out!
