Mini Cupcake Treat Holder for TCP Tuesday

Hello everyone! I been MIA the last few days here at the blog, because I dived into digital scrapbooking over the weekend and have finally pulled myself away to catch some air!! I have been fighting the temptation to try it for years thinking scrapbooking should be done by hand. But, there are just so many hours in the day and after realizing I have not scrapped ONE page since my grandson was born - - - 7 MONTHS AGO - - I figured I best get busy attempting it or he would be graduating college before I even got his first birthday pics in the scrapbook!  Anyhoo - back to today's topic......


I was over on the The Cat's Pajamas website being nosey and came across a few things. First thing was a "Tasty Treat Cupcake Holder".  Anyone that knows me at all, knows my favorite food group is cupcakes, so of course I had to open up that link and take a peek to see what it was and how to make it.  Then, I saw that this week's challenge on their blog here, was to create a project that included a cake, candle,  or present image on it. So......of course, I had to make this cute little cupcake holder!

If you look on their website, I pretty much made mine look exactly like their example!  I did not have any of the tools they said to use however, so I had to get creative with what tools I did have, but it worked for me.  And the image is also the same, but it just happened to be perfect for this project and is one of my all time favorites so it just worked out to be a copy, for the most part.  (At least I am admitting it!!)


I think these would be very cute for any type of small treat really, not just mini cupcakes! I am planning on making up a few these for some gifts over the next few weeks for sure!

You Rock!

Well, since we are "snowed in" here in Charleston, SC spending more time in the craft room!  So you "northerners" can get a good laugh at your southern brothers and sisters, I have attached below a photo of our "winter storm" below:

Yep, that was all we got last night!  Of course we do not know how to drive on "icy" roads and since the temperature is still in the 20s here, the town has just about completely shut down.  No complaints here - I am in my craft room, crafting away!




I decided to check out a new sketch challenge today over at CAS(E) this Sketch.   CAS stands for "Clean and Simple" which is pretty much how I roll. :)  Means basically one or two "layers" on your card and simple on the embellishments.   The sketch they provided for this week is this:









I turned the sketch sideways and instead of putting sentiment to the bottom (or to the left) of the image, I added some hard metal eyelets to keep with the "hard metal" feel of my card.  Here is my card:

I can see this card being given to a teenager for a birthday or even on a special day for a "job well done" whether that be for bringing home a good report card, or helping out around the house, or whatever.  Not my normal color combinations or format, but I think it turned out CAS(E).




Card Ingredients:


Cardstock:  Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Whisper White
Images:  Stampin' Up! Extreme Elements, Friends Rock
Ink:  Stampin' Up! Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Close to My Heart Black
Other:  Stampin' Up!  Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets




Happy Crafting!
