This isn’t really the card I should be making seeing as I’ve put on weight so far this year with a cold, bronchitis and now my sprained ankle (improving a lot) but perhaps I should look at it as this is the only cupcake I should  be seeing! I used the sketch from CAS on Sundays again but you can only enter once so this one is just for us.

I’d decided that I wanted to use the Cupcake Party set and that drove the selection of the cupcake paper from Have a Cuppa DSP stack. I trimmed it down carefully ensuring that I had enough left over from the 6″ by 6″ piece to line the envelope. Perfect. Since I planned to mat the piece of whisper white on wisteria wonder before putting it on a cherry cobbler card base, I had to cut back the whisper white from my standard 5 1/4 by 4 which ensured that the DSP was absolutely right to the edge of the card stock. I then stamped the sentiment in cherry cobbler along the line of the DSP. Next I played with the Cupcake Party cupcakes and the punch until I decided on an all red cupcake. I glued the cupcake together and then popped it up with dimensionals.

I then matted the whisper white on the wisteria wonder and glued that to the cherry cobbler card base. I got the colour combination from the colour coach ignoring the addition of pink pirouette. I tried to add it in, but it just didn’t work. The envelope is lined as planned with the remainder of the Have a cuppa DSP.

I love symmetry so this is an odd card for me, but I really like this sketch.

We have just a couple of weeks left of Sale-a-bration so remember that for every $50 you spend before April 1st (before taxes and shipping) you get to select a free item. Also, if you’re thinking about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, this is the best time of year because you get $155 of product that you choose for only $99 with free shipping instead of $125 normally. How can you go wrong with this deal? If you want to sign up, just for the $155 of product, that’s fine. If you want to sign up just for the 20-25% discount, that’s fine too. If you want to build a business, that’s fine. But if you sign up, just know that there are no strings attached. You don’t have to buy anything more if you don’t want to. It’s a great deal.

See you tomorrow,
