Snow Much Fun with Cupcake Inspirations

 Hi crafty friends!!

Happy 2023!!

I honestly can't believe we are a week into a new year!

One great thing about the start of this new year is that I am happy to announce that I am a new design team member for Cupcake Inspirations Challenges!

I have loved the Cupcake Inspirations challenge blog for quite awhile now and am thrilled to be a Sweetie! 🧁 

Here is a look at the inspiration cupcake for the first challenge of 2023 (CIC #560)

and here is what I was inspired to make:

I had so much fun making this card!

I created an A2 card base from some white card stock and covered it with a piece of tiny polka dotted patterned paper. I stamped out my images from the Ready Set Snow stamp set from MFT using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored, I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out & set them aside. I used a scallop rectangle die to cut a piece of blue patterned paper & a piece of white cardstock. I cut some hills out of the white scallop rectangle that I cut out, stamped my greeting and layered my hills onto my blue background. I then added my images, tucking the houses and trees behind the hills and popping the snowboarders up with foam tape. I splattered some acrylic paint to create some snow and wrapped some sheer ribbon around the top before popping my image panel up with foam tape to my card front. I think this turned out so incredibly cute!!

--Polar Bear: C6, C1, C0, C00, R00, BG45, BG53, B00, B000--
