Stamping 411 – Cute by the Inch

August 6, 2010 By Connie | 6 Comments

Another week and time for Stamping 411's sketch challenge #SSC163! I sat down to work on my card and thought some designer paper would be awesome in the big block area of the sketch…but which one? So, I ruffled thru my Designer Paper Sampler and saw this one from Play Date! Perfect!

And here is what I ended up with!

I pulled my colors from the Play Date Designer Paper and used Tempting Turquoise for the base of the card. I ran the front thru the Big Shot with Finial Press Impressions Folder. I layered the 3×4 piece of Designer Paper on Espresso Cardstock, then placed on the front of the card. I wrapped Real Red Taffeta Ribbon around the So Saffron cardstock strip, then adhered to the bottom of the card. I stamped Eat Cake from the Level 2 Hostess Set, Cute by the Inch, in Real Red on Whisper White, punched it with the 1 3/8 Circle punch, then layered it on the Large Oval Punch. I added a Rhinestone Jewel to the frosting of the cupcake for a little bling! I think this will be a fun birthday card for my little nephew (ummm, great-nephew!)
