Sweet Cupcake

Hi there

Well, I have had a fun weekend away with friends creating, stamping and even putting a toe into the scrapbooking water (pretty scary when surrounded by fabulous scrapbookers). Well, everyone has to start somewhere don't they. I still have to finish the page, but might share that with you in the future.

Today the card I have for you is based on this week's Mojo Monday Sketch #95 (I finally get to link one on time). This is the first time I have used the Sweet Always Designer Series Paper which really lends itself to the sweet girly look. The card will be for my neice Amelia, who will be having her 3rd birthday soon. I have used the Party Hearty stamp set for the first time as well and know that it will become a favourite. The main image was stamped with Versamark and then white embossed. I have done the same for the centre flower in Close to Cocoa, punched it out and popped it up on a dimensional. The cupcake was coloured with Stampin' Write markers, cut out and Crystal Effects added for a raised shiny topping. I have popped up the top of the cake as well and put some Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the flame. I used my crimper for the first time and really love the soft corrugated effect that mirrors the base of real cupcakes. Keeping the cardstock straight while crimping is a bit of a challenge which Leanne can attest to! Here it is and the details are below.

I am starting my new contract tomorrow, but I will be back during the week with a peak at some of the lovely new products from the Spring Mini Catalogue that commences on 1 August.

Have a great week.

Judy.
