Birthday cupcake

 

Here's a cupcake with sprinkles for a birthday card. It uses the now retired Create a Cupcake stamp set, along with the Build-a-Cupcake Punch, and a strip of Watercolor Wonder paper.



Create-a-Cupcake card on embossed Big Shot layers...

I thought I was finished posting for today, but then I remembered this card we made at Susie's workshop Friday night. It's Pretty in Pink and uses both the Create a Cupcake stamp set, wit and the Build a Cupcake punch. I ran some Early Espresso card stock through the Scallop Squares Duo die to get the 3" square background, then cut a 2-3/8" square piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. We stamped and punched the cupcake pieces and adhered them with dimensionals.

BIG SHOT NEWS!

Still on the fence about buying the Big Shot? Well, I'm here to push you off! What are you waiting for? If you buy it from me by March 31 (that's Thursday for those of you who may be on Spring Break), you'll be able to choose two items from the Sale-a-Bration Mini Catalog and receive a special gift from me! Just call or email me and I'll get your order placed. Okay, my infomercial is over. Have a great day!

Forget counting candles - it's about how many cupcakes you get...

The inspiration for this card was a photo of chocolate cupcakes with pastel-colored flowers made of sugar. I used cupcakes with vanilla, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, and Early Espresso colors.

My card uses the Framed Tulips embossing folder on the Early Espresso card front (I used a sponge dauber to add some Very Vanilla craft ink on the design so it would stand out a bit more), and a Top Note cut from Nursery Suite dsp with a crochet trim knot on it. I used Create a Cupcake stamps for the words and the sprinkles, and Build-a-Cupcake Punch on textured Pink Pirouette card stock for the cupcake bottoms and flowers, as well as for the vanilla frosting. Those are all stuck on with dimensionals. The pearls and flowers are adhered with mini glue dots. It never fails that once I see the photo I took, I notice something like how the third flower isn't laying flat. I fixed it on the card, but was too lazy to go back upstairs, set up my photo box to take another photo, and upload it!

Create a Cupcake is Something to Celebrate...



I made this card for a make & take at my American Ink team gathering last weekend. It is a Crumb Cake card with a strip of Sunny Garden dsp, Peach Parfait decorative label, and Create a Cupcake stamps ink and then punched out with the cupcake punch. I CASE'd a card by Ilina Crouse. My card uses the Scallop Trim Border Punch, a greeting from Something to Celebrate and Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait and Early Espresso ink pads.
