Hello everyone Happy Tuesday. Von Marie here with you. It’s my day Today on the Inspired by…Blog and I am loving this weeks challenge-Frozen Treats and Card Sketch. 

Let’s Get Started:

I was so inspired by the colors in the photo like blue, lavender, and white. I saw cupcakes so I went with that and they can be frozen and yummy right? I also loved the sketch it’s so much fun. I stamped some cupcakes with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The cupcakes are from a older stamp set Close To My Heart Cutie Pie. I stamped 9 like the card sketch then colored them in with my OLO alcohol markers.

I then stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set with black ink onto my panel using my stamping platform. My panel was then added to a A2 card base. I added a few snowflakes that I used from a Spellbinders die set DOM July 25 with white cardstock and glued them to my cupcakes. It reminded me of the snowflakes from both the theme and sketch photos. Lastly, I added some glitter glue to some of the snowflakes and to the cupcakes that had a topper. That finishes my card. I had fun making it!

You still have time to join us, challenge will end tomorrow Wednesday. You can add your link to the Inspired By…Challenge Blog by Social Media, Blog, Pinterest..ETC.

Crafty Hugs,

Who doesn’t enjoy a frozen treat from time to time? This cute mouse is certainly delighted with his blackberry buckle, double fudge, mint chip ice cream cone.

I used a wonky circles stencil to create a background similar to the inspiration photo and colored this cute mouse image from Art Impressions with copic markers. I was inspired by the beautiful colors of aqua and lavender and the frozen treats theme. How does the photo or sketch inspire you to use your stash? We would love for you to join us this week! ~MarDi

Loving these challenges and playing along. I have been enjoying the winter colors and creating cute winter themed cards. I was inspired by the colors mostly for this challenge and of course that it was a treat. I used a svg file from Lori Whitlock and her new Echo Park Winter Fun collection.

Hey everyone, Laurel here. I was pretty literal with the inspiration this week. I was inspired by the treats, treats, colors and theme. It gave me a good excuse to use my Cake Pop stamp set from Papertrey Ink. The Sentiment and Die are from The Stamps of Life. I realized, when creating this, I don’t have much purple cardstock, in any shades, I might have to change that.

Now I can’t wait to see how you are inspired and remember to share your creation in our Facebook group, so that everyone can see it!

This week’s Inspired By Challenge is dipped in shimmer and sprinkled with sparkle! ❄️🧁 With dreamy pastels, sugar snowflakes, and cool winter tones, these frozen-inspired treats are as sweet to look at as they are to eat. Will it be the minty blue and lilac palette, the snowflake textures, or the candy-coated details that inspire your creation? Let the photo and sketch guide your frosty project—and don’t forget to tag us when you share your sweet spin on it!

For those of you who are new to our challenge, every week we post our inspiration photo challenge and sketch and hope that you will join us by creating a project for our challenge.

Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colors, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card?

How are you inspired? Create a project and in your post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, and don’t forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge 😊

Hi, it’s MarDi and I’m delighted to share my Winter Knits card with you today. My inspiration came a little from the colors, a little from the sketch, but mostly from the textures.

I used a mashup of products for this bear hug in a mug design. This card is full of texture, whimsy, and color pops from the light strands. Where I live, we don’t have extremely cold temperatures so whenever it gets below 70 degrees, we pull out our knits and wear them as long as we can, which is usually until the afternoon.

The background panel was created with the Cable Knit embossing folder from Sunny Studio Stamps. I used two other embossing folders to create texture for the bear’s sweater – Nordic Holiday from Taylored Expressions, and for the mug – Diamond Plate from Spellbinders.

The mug is from a die set by Frantic Stamper called Cocoa Cup and the rest of the dies are from a Spellbinders set called Festive Friends. The sentiment is from a very old club kit from Hero Arts.

I hope that you’re inspired to join the challenge this week. You have until the end of the day on Wednesday to link your project. Hey, if you’re finishing up with knitting or crocheting mittens, socks, beanie, blanket, or scarf, take a photo and link it up via your blog or social media account. We love to see how you’re inspired.

Big bear hugs,
MarDi

What a great gallery last week. Loved seeing all the snowmen! I am still wishing for snow here – instead we are getting a lot of rain.

This is just so pretty. Love the embossing, the line of snowflakes and the pop of orange! Congratulations Rosemary! Hope you play along this week!
