Happy Thursday!  It’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  What a beautiful SPRING color combination we have for you this week!  I know…I can’t WAIT for Spring to get here again!

HELLO CUPCAKE

I thought these colors were SO yummy that they needed a YUMMY stamp to go with them.  How about a cupcake!  lol!  Love this free SAB set, Hello Cupcake!

This is a fun layout that I’ve used before on a Valentine card for an Occasions Catalog swap!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
• A 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Daffodil Delight Gingham 6×6 DSP is added to the bottom of the Whisper White, with a 1 x 5 piece of Balmy Blue cardstock added on the right side.
• A 1/4 x 4-1/4 strip of Granny Apple Green goes across the front towards the bottom.
• The cupcake base from Hello Cupcake was stamped with Balmy Blue, the cupcake with Daffodil Delight and the frosting with Lemon Lime Twist (anyone else HATE to see this color go away???) on scrap Whisper White cardstock, then hand cut.  (Did you know we now have the Framelits to go with the set?  Only available to purchase in March!)
• The flower was stamped with Daffodil Delight and hand-cut, then added to the cupcake base.
• Rhinestones were added as sprinkles on the frosting and one in the center of the flower for a lot of bling!

OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!

This is going to be short and sweet!  A nasty flu bug hit me New Year’s Day and I can hardly sit upright for very long!  Today we are back with a new Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Sketch Challenge!

I decided to use the sweet new Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Hello Cupcake for mine:  Today is the FIRST DAY of Sale-A-Bration!!!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 3-1/4 x 5 piece of Pineapple Punch cardstock was added to the left side.
• A 3 x 4-1/2 piece of How Sweet It Is Designer Paper was added towards the right side on top.
• A 3/4 x 5-1/2 strip of the striped How Sweet It Is DSP is added on top down the center.
• A 3/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock is next to it according to the sketch.
• The base of the cupcake is stamped with Coastal Cabana, the cake portion with Pineapple Punch and the frosting with Melon Mambo Inks, then cut with the largest Stitched Shape Oval.
• Some Glitter Dots were added to the frosting for a little sparkle and the oval popped up on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting was stamped with Gorgeous Grape on scrap Whisper White and punched with the 1-1/4 Circle Punch, then added to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Quick and easy!  OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Then play along with us!
