This stamp set has been “on my list” to use for over a month, and I finally got to use it on World Card Making Day as I attended a virtual card making event! We made super cute projects and I think these gate fold birthday Cupcake cards are my favorite!!
Melanie designed this Sweets & Treats birthday card to include the Fresh Freesia gingham pattern (left) from the Pansy Petals designer paper pack. I decided to “go rogue” as we say, and I also pulled out the cute polka dot paper from the Cute Halloween paper stack for my 2nd card! I also added the Cute Stars to each card to add to the festive birthday vibe.
The super adorableness of these cards is the “cupcake liners”… check out how fun this is.. we stamped them onto the designer paper and cut them out so that they would have cute patterns on them!! This is known as paper piecing in the crafting world.
And if cute cupcake liners weren’t enough.. .we added Shimmery Crystal Effects to the frosting!!! Oh My Heavens!!
Have you used Shimmery Crystal Effects? It had been about a year or so since I had used it, and now I think I’ll be adding it to lots of my projects!!
I colored the cake stand and the frosting with my Stampin’ Blends.. taking the colors from the designer paper.
The cake stand and cupcakes are stamped onto a die cut from the Hippo & Friends die set, and the little banner is from the Tasteful Labels Dies.
