Happy Birthday

My card today is for 2 challenges, Lawnscaping Challenge #9-Let's Party, and The Play Date Cafe Challenge #80











I used the cupcake card die from PTI to make my card, using Terracotta Tile and Summer Sunrise card stock.  Decorating the cupcake was the FUN part!  For the bottom, I used PTI's Polka Dot Basics, stamping the open circles in black, and then filling them in with Fresh Snow ink.  For the top of the cupcake, I stamped the flower trio stamp from Lawn Fawn's Sew Lovely stamp set, over and over again to cover the top.  Then I colored in the flowers with a Copic marker.  The banner, birds, and sentiment are from Lawn Fawn's Bannerific and Sophie's Sentiments stamp sets.  I finished the card with some buttons and a bit of lace.




This was so fun to make, and I can see myself making a lot more of these cupcake cards!  The design possibilities are endless :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

  12. I love this! I have always thought of the big cupcake as more of a kids card, but your cupcake is totally for us grown-ups. I love how you made the floral top to the cupcake and those gigantic polka dots on the bottom are perfect. Great job on this one Diane.
