TE Blast From The Past Blog Hop!

Welcome to your next stop on Taylored Expressions' Blast From The Past Blog Hop!  I'm always thrilled to pull out my sweet TE stamps and here's my project using one of my favorite stamps from the early days -- For The Love of Cupcakes, combined with Taylored Expressions' Sketch Challenge #113.

 

We have a big celebration AND graduation coming up for a special niece all in one party and I thought this BIG (6-inch!) card could handle both celebrations!  The large front-and-center cupcakes were stamped onto Inchie Arts Ivory Inchie + Squares and colored with these Copic markers:

 

Each large cupcake Inchie was edged in a different coordinating color of Copic marker.  The smaller cupcakes in the focal image were cut out and popped up on foam tape on top of the cake plate.  The background of the focal image was left in the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die and Copic Y21 used to airbrush the background.

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop and celebrate YOUR weekend!

Kid Time!

Today's JustRite's Friday Challenge is to make something for kids and here's what I came up with:

 

Refrigerator magnet clips for each of my girls' school papers!  The darling animal images were colored with Copics and the clips measure 1.75" x 2".  You can find all the details over at the JustRite Inspiration blog today.  Enter your own creation for the chance to win some Spelbinders dies!

Father's Love Frame

 

Today in the CLASSroom, I'll show you how to custom make this framed photo and Father's Love poem -- complete with Copic airbrushed hand of my daughter!  No worries -- my daugter's hand wasn't airbrushed and I hope you'll come see what I used to produce it!
