Challenge: Anything Goes Using Something New
  

December 31st - January 6th, 2014

     

Last week was "Something Old" and, since this week holds the promise of the new year, we're doing "Something New".  I'm excited because I am in love with cupcakes, but haven't used one of my Paper Smooches cupcake stamps yet.  How did that happen?

  

 

This card includes a paper-pieced cupcake from the Sugar Rush stamp set.  (I've used this set quite a bit -- especially the ice cream cone -- but never this adorable cupcake!)  I double-mounted it with scalloped circles cut from various Bazzill Basics Smoothies pinks.  I cut out a banner from one of those pinks and embossed Happy Birthday with clear EP.  The sentiment is from the Digits stamp set, and the patterned papers are from Doodlebug.

  

So how about it?  Please join us in celebrating the NEW YEAR by using something new to you!  It's a fun challenge -- use a new stamp, new paper, new tool, new technique -- and share it with us!

     

Please make sure your creation post has a link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'. 

   

Thanks for playing along!  We will be announcing the winners on January 10, 2014.
