Stamping 411 Challenges Times 2

What a fun day of stampin' ~ we went out for dinner with friends to celebrate Dean's Birthday, what a great day! Two times the fun for the day and then Two challenges in one!
Stamping 411 Sketch and then the Color Inspiration, so is this called Double Dipping!



So this actually ends up being a little sneak peek for my up coming Birthday Stack Class ~ so Darlene....shhhhh. She is one of my faithful friends and checks up on me often! Love you my friend! 

 I Shimmer misted each of my Cupcake Toppers and then I added CE to each of the cherries (loving that look....quess I've been using CE a lot lately, can't seem to get away from it)!


Here is one of the birthday cards that we will be creating...not sure why I didn't order the stamps to go with my new punch (which I love...you really need this one ladies) ~


Pulled out my Crimper, which I haven't used in quite sometime, but along with the new Cupcake Punch, this is a must and I'm sure it won't be feeling lonely any longer! 
I carried on the crimped effect on the inside of my card.


I used each of the colors from the Inspiration 148 on my envelope ~ you can never have too many birthday cakes!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed your time here ~ have a wonderful day!

    I missed being here for a couple of days as I was at the Wonderful Wedding Show for the weekend.
    Wow look at you go, 2 challenges in 1 - good for you. I love these yummy looking cupcakes and you are right--- the crimper is a must for these cupcakes. I like how you carried it to the inside of the card too. Beautiful card, my friend. BTW --- I won't tell ;)

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
