I know that when most of us saw that they were discontinuing the cupcake stamp set from the old catalog, we were sad but we also knew that the SUPER Cupcake builder punch was staying around ….which meant that Stampin' Up! had something up their sleeve!
That something is the super fun stamp set called Cupcake Party and it is just adorable! It is a super fast card to put together as the matching punch makes it a breeze to POP out! I love monochromatic cards and I have a co-worker that is celebrating her birthday today!
I decided to go with a note card size but I cut it myself so I could have a vertical fold! Wanting something "perky and bright" I when with Bermuda Bay and the accent of Soft Sky! (I personally love this color combination together)
The Bermuda Bay is just a smidge smaller than the card base (1/8th" smaller) and then I used the FUN Decorative Dots Embossing Folder with the help of the Big Shot and I let the magic happen with a big crank! These embossing folders are simply the best!
I like to adhere images after I embossed them so they lay super flat and let the image show to its fullest! The white piece is 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" and then I simply had fun stampin' and punchin'…the little confetti's were from the Cupcake Punch…you would be so surprised at how much you use this punch! (I used it a bunch for the confetti for the centers of flowers)
I bet some of you are surprised…I made a bow!!! WOOT-WOOT!!! The Bermuda Bay satin Ribbon seemed like a perfect choice to add that little special touch! A simple glue dot held it in place!
The envelope had a double whammy…sometimes I just cannot resist…a beautiful envelope makes me smile! The Brights Designer Series Paper Stack to the rescue again…..my motto…
When in doubt…pull them out!
Why not – since we have them in all color combinations its a no brainer…these gems are often overlooked but to me…they are TOP on the list in all color palettes!
I know that I have posted before about the great offer Stampin' Up! is offering….taking a "test drive" for just $50.00! Well here is another "Susan Collection" that I have put together that would be a perfect start for your rental car!
Remember, you have nothing to lose and you can turn that car right back in even after you place your 1st order and get a 30% discount (that's more than I get). I adore hobbiest and I would love to have you on my team. To me, being a hobby demonstrator is the best…they are always happy as they just simply love the product and making projects!
Please think about it and then email me….I will be happy to answer any questions you have. It really is a great opportunity and also one that you can walk away from at anytime…you name your own guidelines as to what works for you!
WOWZERS….it is super hot on the East Coast…please take it easy and drink lots of water…if I had my way, I would be sitting in the air-conditioning stampin' all day long!
Until tomorrow….it's a PALS PPA challenge!
Such a cute card ! I will be pulling out that great Cupcake punch this week because I have 4 birthday cards to make ! I like your color combo and I see that Soft Sky is on sale this week . I might have to get it because it is so “Soft” in color . Happy Birthday to someone today !
Beautiful card. Love the colors. I recently bought the cupcake punch but haven’t used it yet, and didn’t even notice the confetti dots! Maybe today. Thanks for the inspiration. Also, I have some great “ribbons” to use too.
🙂
Sweet card! (Envelope too.)
Cute card. Love the color combo and how you did the envelope. Thanks for sharing.
Darn enabler 🙂 Love this card, and had not really looked at that cupcake set too hard yet!
Susan, I love this card and the envelope is adorable. You are so amazing. Love the dots embossing folder. I love the colors and the whole card. You are amazing. Stay cool. Have a great stamping day. Ellen Hinds
Tooo sweet! That envelope is the icing on the ol’ cake – well, cupcake that is! That ribbon definitely looks lush and yummy! Cute little jaunty bow! The confetti touch is another sweet touch. Gee, I wonder what Bermuda Bay would taste like in a cupcake? I still can’t believe I have not purchased that cupcake punch!
