IM341 – Layers of Beauty

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a yummy cupcake!  Wouldn’t you like to see that on your plate for your birthday?

 

LAYERS OF BEAUTY

I’m actually shocked on how much I pull out my Layers of Beauty Stamp Set!  This time I only used a portion of the large image for the rose on the top of my cupcake and I colored it with Stampin’ Blends!  I was even more surprised that I have NO current cupcake images in all the stamp sets I own!  I need to look into that!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper was added on top.
  • The circle from Spotlight on Nature Dies was cut from Smoky Slate cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • I used the rosette maker Round We Go Die for the cupcake liner; a portion was cut from Unbounded Beauty DSP and the sides were angled.  It was added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The cupcake was hand-cut from Very Vanilla cardstock and added behind the top of the cupcake liner.
  • The smallest rose from Layers of Beauty was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Petunia Pop and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the top of the cupcake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Three of the leaf clusters were cut with the Layers of Beauty Die from Soft Sea Foam cardstock and added around the sides of the cupcake liner and behind the flower.
  • Hello from Unbounded Love Stamp Set was stamped on Soft Sea Foam cardstock with Memento Black Ink and cut with the Layers of Beauty tag die.
  • Two pink Shiny Sequins were added to the liner to finish it off.

Birthday Cheer again

By | 2 Comments

Here’s another card done with the Birthday Cheer Stamp set…no Framelits!  The Framelits are on the low inventory list, so I wanted to show some cards that didn’t use the Detailed Birthday Framelits.  In Create with Connie and Mary’s latest Birthday Cheer Collection, two of the cards use only stamps…and the 3D project could easily be adapted without them, too!

This card has a fun peek-a-boo opening!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Flirty Flamingo cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded, the fold is on the left.
  • A circle was cut out towards the right side of the front panel.
  • Just the front was embossed with the Dot to Dot Textured Embossing Folder.
  • A 2-1/8 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White was stamped with the Birthday Cheer greeting in Memento Black Ink and the “for you” colored over with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend.
  • The confetti from Birthday Cheer was stamped with Pineapple Punch Ink around the greeting.
  • The bottom of the banner was cut with a flag end.
  • The 1/8″ Flirty Flamingo Ribbon in the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack was wrapped around the Whisper White banner and tied in a bow.  The banner was added to the left side of the front base card.

  • Inside the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White was stamped in the corners with the Confetti stamp and Flirty Flamingo Ink.
  • The greeting from Birthday Cheer was stamped with Memento Black so it is hidden by the front.
  • The cupcake from Birthday Cheer was stamped thru the opening to center it, then colored with Flirty Flamingo and Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends.  Crumb Cake Blends was used for the ground shadow.
  • The Bitty Blooms flower punch was punched from Pineapple Punch cardstock, crumpled, then added to the top of the cupcake with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • A Rhinestone Jewel is in the center of the flower for a little bling!
