Cupcake Challenge, SSS43

Posted by Pixie at 6:14 PM 10 comments


I am entering this MONDAY project for Sweet Shop Sketch Challenge 43:
Cupcake Craft Challenges KEEP IT SIMPLE. And the
The Pink Elephant: Use Ribbon

I hope this is considered Simple. I can't seem to get all the ribbon in the same direction.



Card Size 5 1/2 x 5 1/2
pink damask paper Me & My Big Idea
Anna Griffin Vellum Quotes
Misc. Zebra ribbon
Rich Purple Cardstock


My sister also decided to make a card today. This is not entering any contest. She just wanted to have fun. She is a NEWBIE cardmaker. I think it looks great.



We tried getting to these projects all morning. With it being no school and having my kid and my nephew here it was crazy. I think it took 2 hrs just to get these cards done :)

2nd Xmas Card

Posted by Pixie at 1:34 PM 0 comments
This is my second Christmas Card I'm doing for my daughter's ECE classmates. I absolutely love The Greeting Farm stamps. ADORABLE!


I'm still trying to get a handle on using an X-acto knife, I definitely need a paper slicer because my lines are a big squiggly and not professional looking at all. But hey, who's looking that close anyway right :)

I need to follow sketches because sometimes I just throw papers around and they end up looking kinda weird. Sort of like this one ;)




I used:

The Paper Studio: Pink Armadillo paper pack with glitter.

Joann Limited edition: Peppermint Forest Stack (Snowflake)

Joann Limited edition: Peppermint Forest Stack (circled stars)

The Greeting Farm: Sweeties Stamp Pack

Glitter on Anya Stamp: Diamond Stickles

Ribbon: Craft Essentials in Hot Red

1st Xmas Card...

Posted by Pixie at 11:37 AM 0 comments
I decided to do some Christmas cards this year for my daughters class. I am an extremely newbie card maker. So my cards wont be that great. Which is a good thing because I have to do 18 cards. So I figure my kids last day of school is ON the 18 I can do I card a day, because just doing one card takes me like 5 hours to do :)


This is my first year of actually making hand made cards and actually passing them out. I did do "Happy Thanksgiving" cards and those were really fun to do and I got complimented on them so I was proud of myself so I thought I'd try doing more holiday cards. And christmas cards seem more entertaining since it's nothing but glitter and cute stamps!


This one is my first one. I got this idea from one of ---> PIXIE DUST STUDIO <--- gallery of pictures.



I used:

Hot Pink, Lime Green Cardstock (Don't know the brand, I just bought them from Hobby Lobby

EK Success Corner punch

Martha Stewarts Doily Lace Edge Punch

Digital Stamp: ---> PIXIE DUST STUDIO <--- "Twas the night before"

Colors: Martha Stewart Colored pencil set

Craft Essentials 1/4" in Hot Pink Ribbon

Pink Jewels
