Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!

Happy Sunday everyone and I hope your weekend is going great! We went out for Chinese food last night and boy was it good......maybe extra good because I didn't have to cook!

Every Sunday on the Hope Stamps Eternal blog there is a Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and we would love it if you would play along with us! A new cupcake photo is up today and it is so pretty....just look at those yummy cupcakes!! Smiley from millan.net



I was inspired by the bright colours in those gorgeous cupcakes and so I managed to work in some of that Lime Rickey paper that I am not so crazy about lol!

Don't get me wrong, I love the
Lime Rickey, but this particular piece had me stumped!





My blog friend, Heather, had used it last week in this gorgeous creation, and so I was bound that I could work it into one of my cards this week. Lo and behold, I did it!!

I had wonderful parcel from Gina K Designs arrive at my door the other day and this delicious stamp set, Sweetest Blessings, was part of it. What a perfect set for today's challenge!

There is a lot of texture on my card all thanks to the Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing folder and my ancient crimper that I lug out once in a blue moon.


The cupcake icing is embossed with the Swirls Cuttlebug folder and then I added some Doodlebug glitter and some
Crystal Stickles on top of that! And look at those gorgeous brads - more glitter!

I used the Fiskar's Threading Water punch, which I have always called treading water punch, because really, who threads water?? Smiley from millan.net

I didn't put any butterflies on my card today, but wouldn't that Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch have been just too perfect??!!

  7. OMGosh, I KNOW! WHY do they call that punch "threading water???" Really! I've never understood that, and I throw that darn thing in the trash at least once a week because it always sticks on me! LOL

    CUTE card, Bonnie! I love how bright it is! Did you crimp your scalloped circle? I LOVE how that looks! Must remember to try that! TFS!
