Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #PCC331: Hello Cupcake

Good morning!  It's my birthday week so the salute to birthday treats continues, today I used thePaper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe challenge to make this yummy (and calorie free card) as a perfect farewell to Sale-a-bration!  I decided to go across in the center with this card using Metallic, Monochromatic, and Stitched Rectangular Dies (quickly becoming a new favorite!)

I started with Whisper White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Call Me Clover cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Subtles Dynanic Embossing Folder before adding a piece of Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper that I cut out with the Stitched Rectangular Framelits (I ran it through the Big Shot twice to get the stitching on all for sides given the size of my DSP.


For the main stamped image I used the Hello Cupcake stamp set and stamped the cupcake base in Smoky Slate ink on Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped the frosting for the cupcake also on Whisper White using Call Me Clover ink (full strength for one layer and stamped off once for the lighter layer) and then cut them out with the Big Shot and Call Me Cupcakes Framelits.  I used the same stamp set and framelits to cut out the little cupcake pick as well and then used the Stitched Rectangular Framelits to edge the cardstock before matting it with Champagne Foil Paper.

To finish off the card I used a greeting from the More than Words stamp set and after cutting it out with the same framelits sponged around the edge and attached it with dimensionals.  A few Metallic Rhinestones are the perfect sprinkles to finish off the card!

I know this card has all the things that would help me celebrate my special day!  Make sure to check out the other design team cards for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #307: Hello Cupcake

Good Morning!  It's the start of the new week and we're anxiously awaiting arrival of a little snow (honestly Aidan is much more excited than we are, haha!)  Today over on the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog we have a fun new inspiration challenge which is perfect since I've been busy working on Valentine's projects, love is in the air!  When I saw the cupcakes in the pictures I immediately jumped to the new Hello Cupcake stamp set (and so excited it's a Sale-a-bration freebie!)

I started with Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the cardbase and then added Basic Black cardstock as a mat for the All My Love Designer Series Paper and then added a strip of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to add this pop of black.



Next I stamped the cupcake on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Gray, Flirty Flamingo, and Lovely Lipstick ink.  I decided to use a piece of the beautiful Lovely Lipstick Foil Paper (another SAB Freebie!) as a mat for the cupcake. 

To finish off the card I stamped the greeting in Basic Black ink on Flirty Flamingo cardstock and cut it out with the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits and attached it with dimensionals.

This cupcake looks good enough to eat, and would be a perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day (just saying hubby, lol!)  Make sure to check out the other design team cards for inspiration and then we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create.

SSINKspiration 2019 Sale-a-bration Favorite Stamp Set: Hello Cupcake

Good morning!  How are you enjoying the extended holiday festivities?  I love this week since we're all off and get to just relax (and I try to get a few things done around the house).  Despite placing my preorder for the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalog at the beginning of the month I haven't had a chance to play with any of my goodies until this week.  Today the SSINKspiration team is sharing projects using our favorite stamp set from this years Sale-a-bration brochure.  There are so many great products this week but given my love of sweets, and cupcakes in particular it should be no surprise that the Hello Cupcake stamp set is one of my favorites!

For this card I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and embossed with the Big Shot and Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder before adding a strip of Early Espresso Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper package.  For the ribbon I used Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer Ribbon (but honestly I thought it was flirty flamingo, haha!)

For the main stamped image I used Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo, and Berry Burst to stamp the cupcake images (and since they're photopolymer lining up was a breeze).  I used the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out both the cupcake and the greeting.  I sponged around the edge of the greeting with Early Espresso ink and then attached the greeting circle with dimensionals.

This cupcake looks good enough to eat, I love it!
