Cupcake Fun

Good Morning!

We had a weekend full of birthdays and graduations, so I made a few cards to celebrate!  I've been on bed rest for almost a week, so making cards is just about all I can do when I'm not in bed :(  I made today's card for my 10 year old cousin....

This card uses our cupcake punch and corresponding stamp set, Create a Cupcake.  We made a card similar to this at our shoebox swap and I loved it.  The cupcake on the left is embossed with our melon scented embossing powder (although you can't tell or smell in the picture).  I used embossing folders and our paper crimper tool.  I just got it in my last order and I love it!  This item, unfortunately, is on the retired list, so get yours before May 31st at my online store!

Items used in this card:

Stamp Set -- Create a Cupcake (121915 Wood, 121982 Clear)

Card Stock -- Melon Mambo, Shimmery White, Whisper White, Pacific Point, Real Red, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry
