Sneak Peek Cupcakes

6a00e54f95df928834011570598297970c-501  
What is it about cupcakes that is so charming for birthday cards?  Stampin's Up!'s The More the Merrier stamp set (Hostess Level 3, available July 1) offers a row of five sweet cupcakes, darling lined up or separated as individual elements.  My color inspiration is from Splitcoast Stamper's Color Challenge CC224 (Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Summer Sun).
  • I added VersaMarker directly to the rubber of three of the five cupcakes (one at a time) in the cupcake row stamp.  Each was stamped and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  They were cropped into 1 1/4" squares of Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango.
  • The squares were layered over 1 3/8" squares in contrasting colors. TIP:  Having both these square punches means perfect layers in seconds.
  • The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, a set of 24 versatile phrases, new for the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog, available July 1. 
  • I used a Boho Blossom Punch and 1/4" Circle Punch to produce the layered flower accent for the sentiment.
  • The four squares were layered on a single piece of Whisper White and matted on Summer Sun card stock.
  • Pacific Point 5/8" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (Now 25% Off) dresses up the base.  Click here to see the current list of the Stampin' Up! Last Chance Accessories (scheduled to retire June 30) & Sale.
  • I mixed and matched more Boho Blossom Flowers and 1/4" Circle centers along the bottom.
  • The 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Whisper White card base is scored at the top.  I cropped the bottom corners with a Corner Rounder Punch.  TIP:  Whisper White keeps things looking crisp when using a vibrant color palette.
