Happy Birthday!

Hi there,

After a successful class on Saturday, I decided to make another Cascade Card for a birthday.

The recipient loves cupcakes, so what better way than to use the Cupcakes Wheel and Create A Cupcake stamp set and matching punch.

This version is larger than the card made on Saturday as I've used a sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock.

Cascade Card - Front


Stamps: Create A Cupcake (Spring Mini Catalogue, P.22), Cupcakes Wheel (P.33).
Cardstock: Regal Rose, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White. DSP - Neutrals.
Inkpad:
Regal Rose, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink, Baja Breeze, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Melon Mambo.

Crazy For Cupcakes

Hi all,

Have been busy making more Crazy For Cupcakes birthday cards in different colourways and have personalised them. I didn't have any matching ribbon for the middle card, so have white embossed the Polka Dot background stamp on a strip of cardstock to make a Polka Dot Ribbon effect to mimic the new Polka Dot Ribbons currently in Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede which I just love!

Crazy For Cupcakes

Morning :)

Hope your weekend was a good one and you managed to see some sunshine :) My weekend was good, busy with the workshop and some crafting.

Thought I'd make some cards using Crazy For Cupcakes seeing as it was out for the workshop and it's a stamp set I have not used in a long time. Made a card or two in different colourways :) Loved the card by Jules, so have taken inspiration from her card that she recently made.

Here's a Crazy For Cupcake Birthday card for my collection:


Here's a close-up of the gorgeous glitter!
