Christmas Kickstart #100 - SPOTS, DOTS & CIRCLES

Hello friends.  It couldn't feel less like Christmas outside (more 90's today in my neck of the woods!), but I couldn't let Jo's 100th challenge over at the Christmas Kickstart blog go by without playing along, especially since it involves SPOTS, DOTS & CIRCLES!! 


I've got a SWEET little card to share using a new to me die from Cottage Cutz called Santa Cupcake that I was enabled to buy after hearing about the BIG sale at The Scrapping Cottage from Leslie...thanks Leslie!!


Doesn't Santa look so CUTE perched on top of that yummy looking chocolate cupcake?!!  I die cut all the pieces from cardstock scraps including the cupcake liner, which came from PTI's Pure Poppy Pattern Pack DSP.  I used a CIRCLE die to make an opening on my background layer that was also embossed with an older Cuttlebug ef with lots of DOTS.


This closeup shows a bit more detail including all the glitter and my SWEET die cut sentiment (The Greetery - Sweet Tooth).  Also added a sub-sentiment that was embossed in white on a black strip (Gina K).  Pretty simple but colorful and pretty cute IMHO!

If you need to get a kickstart on those Christmas cards, this challenge is a great place to start and you can find all the info to play along right HERE.  Congrats on this BIG milestone challenge Jo and a big thank you too for helping us all keep ahead with our Christmas cards!!  :0)

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

OMGosh, he's adorable! I was looking at this one yesterday, considering going back for more. I'm bad. You made this up so cute with the polka dot cup cake liner. It looks so real! Fabulous use of all the spots and dots for Jo's challenge. Love that big "sweet", too! I'm glad to enable you when it's such a steal of a deal. Love this!

I LOve all the dots and spots and have a warm spot in my heart for polka dotted cupcake liners, too! Such a fun Santa cupcake topper, Marcia! But the real kicker is that belt around the cupcake - so fun!

Darling card. That cupcake looks good enough to sample. Would that land me on naughty list?

Adorable little cupcake with that jolly guy in the middle of it! I wonder, is it jelly filled? Adorably cute and what a great swoopy sentiment topper
