Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #26
.JPG)
Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! Are you all ready for the weekend? I am! It has been a loooong week since returning home from CHA! My friend Jami let me borrow another one of her stamps for this cupcake card. I used the new Cupcake Chef from Inky Antics. Isn't he so cute!? I stamped the chef on Shimmer White cardstock and colored him with Copic markers. The patterned paper is Splendid from the Crate Paper Sweet Branch collection. The sentiment is from Papertrey's Mixed Messages and the rhinestone brads are from Stampin' Up. It just so happens that today I'm also hosting a challenge for the Dare to Get Dirty event in celebration of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen anniversary! It you're a member of the Fan Club, you can check out the challenge here... it's a *sweet* one! If you're not a member of the Fan Club you can check out how to become a member here. You'll receive some great perks and help support a site .png)
that means so much to all of us stampers! Now let me introduce you to the Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! Denise Marzec blogs at The Paper Landscaper and recently joined the Dirty Dozen Design Team. She picked one of my favorite cupcake images to make a sweet creation using this week's sketch. Thanks for sampling the sketch, Denise! Now it's your turn to try the sketch! I'll chose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this weekend to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler next week. Your design and blog will be featured on my blog during Cupcake Friday. One random winner will also be selected from among all the .jpg)
participants to receive 2 Copic markers! You're not required to use cupcakes for the challenge, but if you got 'em why not use 'em!? :) You're welcome to create something other than a card, just stick as closely to the sketch as possible and you'll be eligible for the prize drawing and Featured Cupcake Sampler honors. If you're uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC26 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 26). Leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog post or gallery upload so I can check it out! You must have your cards uploaded by Monday, July 28th at 8am PST to be eligible for the prize drawing. I can't wait to see what you come up with! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!Ana Wohlfahrt: Ink A Stamp

What a cute image. I haven't seen this adorable chef before...gonna have to add him to my list of "cupcake gottahaves". Love how he looks on that awesome paper! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love this little chef image Taylor! I have been looking for this stamp for a while now and when I checked the Eclectic Paperie store they said it was out of stock! Boo! Haha. Someone sent me an image with him a while back and I have been in love ever since! Haha! Anyway, your card is fantastic! I love the dp that you used! Denise's card is wonderful too! Thanks for another great sketch! :D

These are wonderful, Taylor!
Taylor,
I've been here three weeks in a row. I do believe that qualifies me as being hooked. I'm having a ball and really love the ideas. Here's my card for the week: http://www.jeandelaney.typepad.com/
Every week I see the sketch and I'm not immediately sure but I end up loving it and know I'll use it again. Thanks Taylor! Here's mine:

My first Cupcake challenge ever is posted on my blog! Thanks for the inspiration! And the post below that is a case of a card by Julie Ebersole, which was cased off an old card of yours! :)
Love your blog! Not sure why it took me so long to get it in my reader, but it's there now!
Fantastic challenge!! My card can be viewed at
http://chrissyscreativespot.blogspot.com/2008/07/love-your-style-card-award.html
Beautiful cards! Great sketch!
Here's my take:
http://www.theartofinking.com/my_weblog/2008/07/missing-you.html
This is the first card I have ever created for a challenge. It was so much fun, I really must do it again!
I changed the sketch slightly. My image turned out to be a bit bigger than what I thought it would be, so I had to put the sentiment to the sides of the main image, and my bling was placed on the slant of the pp on the top and the bottom of the image.
Please check out my card on my blog.
By the way, love your blog. It's one of my faves.
I have to say Taylor that I had so much fun making this card. I am happy with the turnout of it also. I hope you like it. Thanks for having these challenges. I love to play along then I get the chance.
Here's my card:

Thanks for the fun, Taylor! You're ruining my budget with the need for more cupcake stamps, ya' know! :)
OMGoodness!! I loved this sketch! I had to make two cards! IT was so much fun and I loved the way it works with using different papers and textures :)
Thanks so much Taylor - glad to hear you are ok from the earthquake and hope your little kittty is feeling better.

This is the first time I have played with your sketches but I just had to use this cupcake stencil and your sketch was what I needed!

Hi Taylor,
I am wayyyyyy to later, but thought you might like to see my card anyways. I didnt put the brads on as your sketch specified as they would have been lost on my chosen background papers! lol

Well due to not being home I was not able to post my card in time. I have included it here as I thought you might like to see it anyway.
