Yummy Cool and Colorful Birthday Cupcakes card

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!! Shocker! This small flat card is not for a design team commitment! I wanted to mix together some current challenge themes to take advantage of their competition periods. And I even messed up on one that I had just received a notice about on Wednesday...at least I thought it was this Wednesday and not last week...crazy...

This fun card has mixed the elements for birthday, triangles, and bright summery colors. 

Yummy, cool, and colorful birthday cupcakes card=

Design notes and credits: the lavender paper is backdrop to block the printer scanner light; the mauve/mulled pink flat card base has a matching envelope (Darice); patterned paper, jumbo dots, and stickers were bargain finds at Dollar Tree; the green and yellow cardstock scraps are from Crafter's Choice or Art Skills, another bargain buy at Dollar General; and the purple cardstock scrap is from Neenah bought at Wal-Mart. A yellow marker was added to most of the white areas and white sprinkle dots in on the pink frosted cupcakes because it looked better to get yellow incorporated onto the paper. This is definitely packing some colors!

Shades of Blue Scriptural Encouragement Card

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! I was so happy to have some late night crafty fun about 9 hours and even more so to craft an extra that is not for a DT commitment. I've had 1 card started for several days and just need to get another crafting session in very soon to get that one done. Many more that I need to get started on as well. 

This featured card is on a flat denim blue colored cardstock base that has a matching envelope (Darice) with 2 scrap pieces and a printed Scripture card. I didn't check to see if it was the same size as a business name card or as an ATC. It was received as a gifted extra over a year ago. Three aqua pearl gems and a washi tape version flower petals clustered together for the accents. All chosen for having shades of blue.

2022 June 17 MTTC #484 Theme of Fruit

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! Don't you just love supporting local farmers' markets and/or going to their farms/orchards? Maybe you've got fruit trees, grape vines or raspberry brambles, etc. at your home? This is a sweet theme for My Time To Craft challenge blog for #484. 

#484 starts June 17th and ends June 30th. 

inspiration project #1:

SWEET--the sweet life slimline card=

_________________________________________

A few design and vendor notes for SWEET=

a. Several pieces to make this card were from a kit I put together based on the recipe from The Great Stash Bash challenge blog. (green cardstock base, the market scene journaling card, the alphas, the red foil heart)

b. 2 decorative tapes from different vendors were layered under the lettering

c. the little sweet life text die-cut and the green delicious apple came from Simple Stories Card Kit "Love Grows Here"

d. the market scene journaling card is from Webster Pages; so is the button and twine (different collection)

e. slimline style sizing

********************************************************************

Inspiration project #2= Have a Sweet Summer thinking of you card

The summertime acetate outer frame with an insert panel section left intact are from an old frame and journaling panels set from KI Memories. There's a light pinkish/peach cardstock underneath and a smaller yellow paper panel that had the sentiment printed on it as a Google Doc. The wood die-cuts were bought at Dollar Tree. The pineapple came in that dynamite gold metallic glitter. The watermelon and orange slices were light wood. Marker colors were applied first and then glitter paint pens applied on top. The orange one got a bit thick and looks better in person, especially when you tip the card in different directions and catch the light. Have a sweet summer, crafty friends!!!
