Look! Cupcakes DO grow on trees!
Yeah, we can eat all we want 'cause cupcakes now grow on trees! If only money really did, too! :(
This card is a triple whammy today! I made this for... Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #28, the Our Creative Corner challenge, and I used a very neglected and old Cuttlebug folder for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge that I didn't get done yesterday! Ta dah!
Since the OCC challenge specified no designer paper (*gasp!*) I decided to find some patterned ribbon for color inspiration and decided to go with this American Crafts ribbon since the colors would make yummy-looking cupcakes, too! The cupcakes on my tree are all accented with Stickles, too. I went looking for a Cuttlebug folder to use since again, no designer paper (*gasp!*) and I found this old folder that I haven't used in eons, so I decided to use it for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge to use something old. And of course, the layout/sketch and use of cupcakes are for Taylor's challenge! I also got to use a small piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock since my BFF Anita shared several pieces of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors with me!
I've got some other great projects and cards I worked on today too, but one needs to be photographed in better light, and one needs to get finished up tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Stamps: Limitless Limbs, birthday/circle sentiment from Party Farm Animals (Pink Cat Studio); Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose, Bashful Blue, Lavender Lace (Stampin' Up!) Cryogen white shimmer cardstock (The Paper Cut); Inks: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko), markers (Stampin' Up!); Accessories: ribbon slider die, Bloom Dots embossing folder, Just My Type and Frills embossing borders (Cuttlebug by ProvoCraft), ribbon (American Crafts), Stickles (Ranger).
Tammy, this is fabulous!!! I LOVE your color combo (really love it!), the long and lean card, all the fun embossing, ribbon, image -- I could go on and on -- this is one of those cards I can't stop looking at -- so many details -- so much fun -- great job!!!
