Cupcake Phillip Birthday

I made this little Cupcake Phillip card to enter a DT Call on YT for Jamie from the Not2Shabby Zibbet store.  She is such a sweetie, and she has a great selection of stamps!  So thought I would post him here and enter a few challenges.  The die cuts are from MFT, and of course Cupcake Phillip is one of the Fairy Tale images from CC Designs.
Here's a Close-up of the little Banner:
Do you  set resolutions or goals for yourself in the new year?  I hope to get my craft room organized once and for all (I know, wishful thinking that even if I get it organized it will actually stay that way!).  I also need to get healthy.  I hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year!

The challenges I'm entering:
Cute Card Thursday #249 - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Here Come the Boys - #42 - Anything Goes
The Pink Elephant Challenge #180 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CIP - Family Christmas Wishes

Hello there Creative Inspirations Paint fans!  I hope that you're all enjoying this holiday season in whatever way you choose to celebrate!

This sweet little gal is from Whimsie Doodles, such a cute image!  I've colored her in Copics and went over the pink with Creative Inspirations Paint in the Pink Highlights, and the white under the 'fur' in Winter Frost.  I've cut a paper doily in half and sprayed it with glimmer mist, the flowers are IAR, and the pretty crocheted piece behind the largest flower was done by my Mom.
Here is the Creative Inspirations Paint used:

CIP - Reindeer in Paint and Glitter

Hi CIP fans!  I have a trio of cards to share with you today.  These fun little reindeer die cuts are from a die that I've had for a while, and I've used some wonderful Creative Inspirations Paint in Copper to paint them.  Their hooves and antlers are painted in Chocolate, and the antlers have been glittered with Resplendence Angel Dust by Creative Inspirations Paint.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of Garnet paint to the collar, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations (Siam and Clear) Bling to their noses and collars as well.

CIP - Sky Blue Sleigh

Hello CI Paint fans! 

For today's project I've painted a wooden sleigh with Creative Inspirations Paint, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations bling (SS30 Clear and SS34 Clear).  I started off by using the Sky Blue paint, and added a layer of the Blue Ice paint over it.  Love that bit of shimmery white it has added.  The runners/blades are painted in Antique Silver.  The sleigh is filled with bits and pieces of pine, silver, and white.

Christmas Trees from TAWS

I've been busy working away at Mom's Christmas card list, so over the next few days I will try to get the completed ones posted.  Most of these are the cards that have to be mailed, so they are fairly flat to make that easier for her (and less expensive because they sure do add up when you make them 5.5 x 5.5).

I've used a cute freebie from The Alley Ways Stamps.  It's a trio of Christmas trees that I've cut apart and placed on a die cut and paper doily before adhering them to the card front.  I've colored them with Copics and added a touch of glitter pen to each (gold on one, silver on the other).
The Challenges I'm entering are:
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - #184 - Christmas
Cute Card Thursday - #246 - Red and Green
Paper Playtime Challenge - #90 - Christmas Colors
Fussy and Fancy Challenge - #77 - I Love Christmas
The Pink Elephant Challenge - #178 - Photo Inspiration
OOZAK Challenge - #9 - Anything Goes + Red
ColourQ Challenge - #167 - Palette Challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
