It's Thursday and time for another Create with Connie and Mary challenge. We have a Sketch Challenge for you to try today! Grab your stamps and play along!
I pulled out Build a Cupcake punch that I hadn't used in quite a while as a regular cupcake! I need birthday cards this time of year!
Don't those chocolate with white frosting cupcakes look good on the Sweet Shop Designer Paper? Makes me hungry when I look at it. I duplicated the cupcake with the Build a Cupcake punch by punching the bottom from Early Espresso and running it thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice folder. The top was from Whisper White and I added a Red Glimmer Paper cherry on top. I placed it on a 1 3/4" punched circle of Baja Breeze, then a Whisper White medallion from the Pennant Builder Die. The Poppy Parade pennant in the background is also from that Pennant die. I added some Real Red Taffeta Ribbon tied in a bow with an Espresso Glimmer Brad in the center. The Sweet Shop DSP is layered on Poppy Parade and a base of Baja Breeze. Along the edge of the Poppy Parade pennant, I added three 1/4" Circles of Red Glimmer paper. It is hard to see on the DSP, but it shows up much better in real life!
I realized when I went to post about this, that my greeting somehow fell off before it was photographed. Since I made this card a while ago at the retreat, I have NO idea where it is…and where that little greeting flag went to. So…you'll have to imagine the words on there! lol!

Cute way to use the side-ways pennant as a layer. Going to miss this DSP, didn't get to use it much!
