Day 11 Cupcake: Awesome Friend Birthday Card

| 30 Day Coloring Challenge, Birthday Card, Sincerely,Rina

Hello Friends!

Today I have another Birthday card to share with you that I made from the cupcakes I colored from the 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

If you are looking for cupcakes 5- 10, they don’t have cards yet! I jumped straight to cupcake 11.

For this birthday card I made a Swing Easel Card. I used the Colorado Craft Company, Sweet Friend Cupcake stamp for this card, in case you’ve missed some of my other posts.

For the sentiment I used the My Favorite Things, Sassy Pants Best Friends stamp. The paper I used is a Maggie Holmes paper collection that doesn’t seem to have a collection name? It’s an older collection though.

I added some sequins and a bow for some simple embellishing.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mason Jar Box Card

| Birthday Card, Box Card, Silhouette, Sincerely,Rina

Hi Friends!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We spent time outside beautifying our yard…meaning I forgot to water my plants and they were desperately in need of water! LOL. My grandmother had a green thumb, I am hoping to get there someday, my struggle is over watering and under watering.

But I don’t have a crafting struggle!!! I am back to today with a Mason Jar Box Card that I made a birthday card.

Most of the design is from the Silhouette Design Store – Mason Jar Bouquet Box Card. I did add extra paper flowers that I had in my stash. I think they are flowers from Cricut Design Space.

I also add a tiny tag holder and stamped Happy Birthday on it. This is where I added space for a message.

I added some pearl accents, twine and a leaf ribbon for decoration. I also stitched the front of the jar with my sewing machine.

I hope you enjoyed my project and thanks for stopping by!

Day 6: 30 Day Coloring Challenge

| 30 Day Coloring Challenge, Birthday Card, Colorado Craft Company, My Favorite Things, Sincerely,Rina

Hi Friends!

Today I have my Day 6 cupcake project to share with you. You may be wondering, where is Day 5? Well, I actually haven’t finished that card yet! It’s in progress so will be coming soon.

I found that even though I colored the cupcakes in a certain order that my projects may be happening out of order!

Instead of cutting out my cupcake, this time I just colored the background with a blue caliart alcohol marker to make a super quick birthday card. Then I added some glossy accents to the strawberry, wink of stella and sequins!

I finished up with a blue rectangle with a vellum overlay for the sentiment.

As a reminder, I used the Colorado Craft Company Big & Bold: Sweet Friend Cupcake for all 30 days of the coloring challenge and I paired it with sentiments from My Favorite Things Sugar-Coated Sentiments clear stamp set. I think this two stamps pair perfectly!

I hope you enjoyed my project & thanks for stopping by!

Day 4: 30 Day Coloring Challenge & ALL Coloring up to Day 12!!

| 30 Day Coloring Challenge, Birthday Card, Colorado Craft Company, My Favorite Things, Sincerely,Rina

Hi Friends,

One more blog post today. This one has both my Day 4 coloring and completed card and ALL my coloring up to day 12.

First up, here is my day 4 card.

I love this little card! It measures 4 1/2 x 4. This is still the same stamp from Colorado Craft Company/My Sweet Friend but this time I stamped the bottom only and then drew the rest of the cupcake on the top.

I think this sentiment goes perfectly with this little cupcake or really muffin…lol. I also used a We R Memory Keepers star embossing folder to create the background.

Now here are all my cupcakes from Day 5 to today, Day 12!!! Cards will be coming soon!

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

Day 8

Day 9

Day 10 & Day 11

For Day 10 & 11, I used the exact same colors. When I compare my chocolate frosting to Day 2, I am amazed at the difference. I really like how both Day 10 & 11 came out. Sometimes I think the strawberry looks better on 10 and the frosting looks better on 11 but then I swap. I don’t really know which I like better! But I can tell my coloring got better.

Day 12

And here we are at Day 12! I really liked the chocolate frosting so I decided to go back to yellow for some lemon frosting and really focused on shading. What do you think?

I think my strawberry and even the cupcake liner are way better on this last version also.

I have 18 more cupcakes to go! I cannot wait to see how my coloring looks by Day 30.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Day 2: 30 Day Coloring Challenge- My Sweet Friend Cupcake Card

| 30 Day Coloring Challenge, Birthday Card, Caliart, Colorado Craft Company, My Favorite Things, Sincerely,Rina

Hi Friends,

I am finally back with my Day 2 finished card! I had posted the coloring of this cupcake with my Day 3 coloring & card but hadn’t finished the card but here it is.

It is a Double Z fold Card. This is my 3rd card with the My Sweet Friend Cupcake stamp from Colorado Craft Company.

It measures 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 when closed and when open it measures 5 1/2 x 11.

I used my Spectrum Noir and Caliart markers to color my image and then I added some Glossy Accents to give my strawberry a little sheen. I also added some tiny purple hearts with a stencil.

The inside of the card says “This Card is Sprinkled with Love” with space for a handwritten message and on the opposite side it says “Hello, Cupcake”. Both sentiments are from the MFT Sugar-Coated Sentiments stamp.

I also used the 2nd half of my Day 1 coloring to make a 2nd card.

It is a bit slimmer than the Day 1 card at 3 1/2 x 5. I decorated it the same way though with sequins and my stamped sentiment on Vellum.

My next blog post will have my Day 4 coloring & card and ALL my coloring up to day 12. Making the cards is taking a bit longer but I am definitely keeping up with coloring.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Craft Your Passion/ Design Team Post- Princess in a Castle Birthday Card

| Birthday Card, Close To My Heart, craft your passion, Heart Broken Designs, Julia Spiri, Princess In A Castle

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing my Design Team Post for Craft Your Passion. This week’s sponsor is Julia Spiri and the image I used was Princess in a Castle.

This was the cutest image to color up and my baby niece is turning two and she loves getting mail so this card along with a unicorn stuffed animal is headed to her.


This is an A2 sized card (4 x 5 1/2 inches). The paper I used was DCWV, The Preppy Princess Stack. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart and is C1631- Birthday Princess Occasions stamp. 



I colored up the image with my CTMH watercolor pencils and my Spectrum Noirs. I added embellishment with Stickles and Jelly Roll Pens. I also added light pink tulle and some ribbon at the bottom and pop dotted the image and the sentiment for extra dimension.




You can get the CTMH products I used here:


It’s not to late to link up to the CYP challenge, you can do that here:



I hope you enjoyed my project & thanks for stopping by!
