I am back with another project for the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers. The challenge this time is N is for No.
I couldn’t help but bring the snark with the housewives graphics. I made a tiny box card that measures 5 in by 4 inches when flat. All of my images are approx. 2 inches wide.
I am just loving the punch of snark on this tiny card.
If you want to play along with this challenge, check out the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers website here.
I hope you enjoyed my project & thanks for stopping by!
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!

I am back today with my first Halloween project of the season. I have been wanting to make some Halloween projects but hadn’t found much time. However, the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers inspired me to get a move on.
This week’s challenge is H is for Pink Halloween! You can find all their challenges here.
So here we go! I whipped up this adorbs witches boot from Lori Whitlock. I got the file in the Silhouette store.
It’s not nearly as much pink as I normally would have liked but I love this paper. And the little bat ears have just the right amount of pink.
The collection is one of my own, Spooktacular Halloween. I embellished the shoelaces with a little witch’s broom. These are actually little broom sticks I bought for my sister’s Harry Potter baby shower repurposed for the perfect boot charm.
This boot is super cute. I added some ruffled crepe paper, light purple tulle and little bats to the inside. I also have a gold clothespin holding the word Spooky to the boot. That’s it for my embellishments!
I hope you enjoyed my project & thanks so much for stopping by!
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!
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!
Happy Sunday! If you are not following me on Instagram then you may have missed all 30 of my cupcakes. That’s right, I colored cupcakes for all 30 days!!!
And while it was fun and I loved using my alcohol markers (I have a mix of Spectrum Noir, Caliart, Promarker and Copics) as much as I did, I am glad it is over.
Here you can see all of my cupcakes!
Sincerely, Rina – 30 Days of Cupcakes
Right now I am working through all of my projects with these cupcakes. Some are going to be cards and a few I have my eye on for a birthday banner. I’ll continue to share my finished projects here…but it’s going to take me awhile!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Comments Off on 30 Day Coloring Challenge: ALL 30 Days!!
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!

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.
