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.
