Birthday Treat

What does every birthday need beside candles?  Cake or a cupcake.  Today the popular thing is the gourmet cupcakes such an Oreo or peanut butter.   Sad to say no gourmet here, but I think it still looks pretty delicious.  We have a few cupcake stamps. So do you know which one this came from?  Sprinkles of Life.

This is a challenge card today for Global Design Project.  The requirement was something sweet.  So I could have used Cool Treats but decided a cupcake instead.  However, I felt it needed to be dressed up a little bit.  So I decided to frame it. You know you don’t need fancy circles?  Plain colored circles will make the cupcake stand out, but I added a lace doily to make it special.  This card design is one I like to call it a concept card. That means you can use whatever paper and color you want.  To see the wonderful ideas on Global Design Project click here http://www.global-design-project.com/

Tips and Tricks

Color Combination:  I am using a retiring color that I like. However, this design can be used with any color you want.

 

  • Watermelon Wonder (retiring)
  • Soft Suede
  • Early Espresso

Stamp Set:   These stamp sets are not retiring.  You will find it in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.

  • Sprinkle of Life (139971)
  • Birthday Blossoms  words (139471)

Ink:  I used the Watermelon Wonder because it tied with the paper. So find your paper then tie it with your ink.

  • Watermelon Wonder (retiring)
  • Soft Suede
  • Early Espresso

Paper:  My base is always Whisper White because it makes it easy to stamp inside and be seen.

  • Whisper White
  • Watermelon Wonder (retiring)
  • Crumb Cake or Soft Suede
  • Mint Macaron (retiring) suggestion Crushed Curry

Designer Series Paper:  Find a pattern you like, but make sure it is not too busy to distract from the cupcake.

  • Envelope Striped Paper (retired), but other styles/colors available until May 31st. May suggest Fruit Stand has a Watermelon Wonder striped paper.

Embellishment:  Embellishment is a product that is used once.  Ex. ribbon, doily, etc.  It is an accent piece.

  • Lace Doily

Accessories:   An accessory helps to make the project.

 

  • Tree Builder Punch
  • Trimmer

Note: For the banner, I simply cut the ends myself.
