Here you go…the same delicious cupcake with just a little extra products to make the interest and feel of the card a bit different! Cupcakes sure are a “smile factor” as you just can’t help but smile when you see one!
Emerson and I had a great breakfast together and she adored her card…feel free to leave me a comment and I will pick one person that guesses which card I gave to my 18 year old sweet god daughter! (I will actually send the lucky winner the other card because naturally I gave Emerson hers with her giftie!!!!)
The changes I made today were:
- I added the white doilie (now this is something I rarely do and I admit, I kinda liked it)
- Added Wink of Stella shimmer to the icing (hard to see in the pictures but a great touch)
- Added sequins, just a couple to make it sparkle (again, something I rarely do)
As I said yesterday in my post, sometimes I think that we get a bit nervous when we see a “layered stamping” set. I know that I felt that way as I thought YIKES, THAT LOOKS HARD….but the real truth is – it is NOT….especially when the stamps are marked with a (1), (2), & (3)….this way you can not mess up…just have fun!
There are 24 stamps in this stamp set and naturally you can see that the sentiments are very practical for many fun cards! I know that today I did not use the sentiment framelit words, but you know I am a total “must have them” when I see a word framelit. In this bundle you get the words “wish” and “sweet”!
Before I get to the measurements today, I wanted to give you the color combination I used for the icing and the wrapper. Again, super easy to do because the stamps are labeled with the numbers:
For the icing I used and stamped in this order: (also, this bundle is great to use up scraps). You can see that I went for 3,2,1 and the colors were going from the lightest to the darkest – have FUN using different color combinations!
Stamp #3 ~ Pink Pirouette, Stamp #2 ~ Blushing Bride and then Stamp #1 ~ Flirty Flamingo
For the Wrapper:
Stamp #3~ Sahara Sand, Stamp #2 – Crumb Cake and then Stamp #1 ~ Tip Top Taupe
I say, one adorable and fun card! Here are the dimensions that I used for this card. They are the same from yesterday and I hope that you can see that you can have a blast customizing your own cupcakes in your craft bakery! Have FUN!
- The card base is a 4 1/4″ Square in Thick Whisper White
- The Flirty Flamingo Layer is a 4″ square.
- The Sahara Sand layer is 3 3/4″ and embossed with the super fun Polka Dot Folder.
- The Pink Pirouette Dot paper is a 3″ square and then matted in the Flamingo just a smidge larger, 3 1/8″.
- Scraps were used to create the cup cake and the sentiment. I used the new Classic Label Punch for the sentiment ~ a very handy punch to have in your stash! 🙂
- The custom envelope was made with the envelope punch board and remember, here are the measurement for this size of envelope….they are NOT on the punch board so I would jot them down for a 4 1/4″ card and tape your “cheat sheet” to the bottom. The size is a 7 1/8″ piece of paper and then punch and score ar 3 5/8″ 🙂
One more look at this fun card…pink always seems to be a hit but if you google this bundle and also go to Pinterest, you will see soooooo many great ideas used with this bundle. A timeless bundle to make birthdays special!
Below you will see the supplies that I used for this card! Remember to leave me a comment and let me know how you liked this 2 day post and also guess which card I gave to dear sweet Emerson…I will pick one person that guessed it correctly and send you the card that I have left! Heck, I do not think that you could go wrong with either one!
Have a fabulous day, go make some memories! Hannah gave me a riding lesson on Oscar yesterday and it was super fun. She actually gave me very positive comments so I guess I have been doing a good job with her horse! We are going to go ride again today and then have a “spare rib feast” – a special request from the peeps! We love to grill!
I am positive you gave the stepped up version to Emerson. It is shiny and the extra frills say girlie!!!!! It is a lovely card. Have a fun day riding and barbecuing ribs. We are off to a cousins mini reunion up at the lake!!!! Happy and safe 4th to everyone!
Happy 4th to everyone! Great stepped up version…..doilies are sometimes hard for me to place, too, and I like what you did with yours. I think you gave Emerson Saturday’s card. Enjoy your ribs today, Susan! ??
I agree, it is the stepped up version that you gave to your god-daughter. It just says “sweetness”. I love your 2 day posts and really enjoy your square cards. I am finding you are helping me try more square designs. Have a good Sunday and a great holiday tomorrow.
Love both of these, your designs have helped me think outside the box?.
Love both of your cards ! I couldn’t figure out how you were going to step up this cute card but I absolutely LOVE it ! It is SO feminine and I love the sequins (which I have a very hard time with – they really seem to fly off every which way – static I guess) and the doilie ! – SO cute ! Thank you for sharing this ! Didn’t even consider this stamp/bundle set till I saw your card !
I am leaning toward Saturday’s card as my favorite but they are both great. I think you gave Emerson Saturday’s card. What a great Godmother you are!!!! Happy 4th!
I have friends that I’d never give a card to that didn’t have some bling on it and other friends who don’t like bling at all, so this weekend’s cards are great for seeing how I can change them up! I guess Emerson too. Happy Fourth!
Oops, meant to say I guess Emerson likes bling too.
I’m going to guess that you gave Emerson the “stepped-up version” just for the “girlie” factor!! Both cards are great & I am enjoying making more square cards……especially now that we have the envelope maker!! Have a great 4th & enjoy your BBQ & the peeps!
Both of your cards are full of sweetness. I would need to agree that you gave your god daughter the updated version. It’s feminine and dear just as you describe Emerson to be.
Both cards are super sweet and Emerson is sure to treasure whichever one she got. I think you gave her Sunday’s version, though, because the extra touches scream extra sweetness and sass. I bet Hannah enjoyed teaching you to ride Oscar…I’m sure she’s picked up on your excellent teaching skills. 🙂 We’re enjoying our weekend with family so far and wish the same to everyone else!
Love both of your sweet cupcake cards! I am going to guess you gave Emerson the stepped up version since it has the bling. I just used this set the other day for my 8 year old granddaughter’s birthday card! 🙂
Like the others, either one of these cards would be a great gift in itself, but I’m thinking the stepped up version for a beautiful 18 year old!!! One is never to early to love the ‘bling’ in life!! She is very fortunate to have you as her godmother! A gift in itself!!!
Both of these cards are very pretty in their own way., but I think today’s card went to Emerson. She’s one very lucky girl to have you in her life. Have a great day with your peeps. So how many blueberries did you pick this time?
I love both cards, but I believe Emerson got the stepped up version with doily, sequins, and wink of Stella! Girls love sparkles!?
Without knowing Emerson’s personality, I’m going to guess that you gave her the card with the doilie?
I think you gave her the stepped up version with glitter. I like both of them! Thank you for breaking the colors down. Happy 4th!!
Both cards are very nice, Susan! I Adore that cupcake version and how yummy it looks! I’m guessing you gave Emerson Saturday’s card because it’s more your style and represents who you are. Then again, I don’t know Emerson, and she might be one of these girly girls who adores lace and glitter…Oh, well, my guess is the simpler version~
Darn, I am still wanting that cupcake which I never bought or baked! Like Roberta said Saturday’s was more your style and we don’t know what Emerson likes. But, who can resist that doily? I love both cards but I think today’s outshines the other with the subtle use of the Wink of Stella too. I also like the extra flamingo colored mat on there. The sequins – well, whatever, not my favorite but that is just me. As a kid I loved buying packs of sequins at the dime store and running my fingers through them! Boy, talk about dating myself with “dime store” vs. the dollar stores nowadays!
From super cute to absolutely adorable!
I like the addition of the lacy doily!
