Time again for Stamping 411 sketch challenge! Another fun one this week! Here is the sketch:
And here is my card using Stampin' Up!'s new Create a Cupcake stamp set and Build a Cupcake punch! I love both these new products in the Occasions Mini!
I started with a base of Pink Pirouette and layered on the Real Red Patterns Designer Paper, using the Scallop Edge Punch along the bottom. I added a strip of the FABULOUS Glimmer Paper above the scallop and wrapped some Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon around and tied a knot.
For the focal image, I stamped two cupcake bottoms in Early Espresso and added a Real Red stamped bow. The frosting is Real Red with Early Espresso sprinkles. I punched them with the Build a Cupcake punch and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals on Whisper White cardstock. I punched the cherry from Red Glimmer Paper, too. I layered the Whisper White on Early Espresso cardstock.
Finally, I added a trio of the flower Itty Bitty punches from Red Glimmer paper and a Rhinestone Jewel in the center of each. I also stamped Happy Birthday from Create a Cupcake with Early Espresso in the upper right corner. I'd love to get a birthday card like this…how about you?
Check out what the rest of the Design Operators did this week over on Stamping 411!
Wonderful, Connie — love the little glitter flowers with the pearls! Fabulous job, as always! Blessings, Gretchen
So-o-o-o cute! I love the buttons….I would not have thought to do the buttons like that. Awesome Connie!
Love what you did with the sketch, that glitter paper looks awesome on your card, excellent work.
This is just stunning!! I really love what you did with the cupcake punch.. Because I'm a little anal about crafting… it bugs me (just a little, okay alot) that the stamp set doesnt have scallops on the bottom of the frosting.. I love the way your frosting is above the line of the cupcake.. Does that make sense? I totally get it.. 😀 This just rocks… 😀
Such an adorable card! I love the way you used the glitter paper. I think I may have to CASE this to see how stunning it is in real life!
Absolutely adorable! You already know how much I love the cupcakes….so your card is right up my alley. The glitter paper rocks!!!
Cute, Cute, Cute Connie–love the pearl in in the middle!
Adorable Connie! Love how the cupcakes look like they are dancing!
Your colours, images and layout works perfectly, I particularly like the way the scalloped border echoes the top of the cupcakes.
Love the red sparkle with these fabulous cupcakes!!
This is too fun!! Love those cupcakes!!
I love your use of the glimmer paper – just got my cupcake set yesterday – I know I will get a lot of use from that set.
Some friends came over the other night and we made this card – it's adorable and even cuter in real life! I'm going to be posting it on my blog and will create a link back to your blog unless you have any objections. Let me know if you do and I will remove it. Thanks for your wonderful inspiration!
