Create a Cupcake; Lap of Luxury

This adorable set, Create a Cupcake, from the new Occasions Mini Catalog 2011 has a coordinating punch aptly named the Build a Cupcake Punch!  How clever is that!  You can stamp then punch and there's no tedious cutting out!!  Gotta' love that, right!?

I used the Lap of Luxury Designer Paper for the first time and really like the color scheme of Pretty in Pink, Concord Crush, Basic Grey and Very Vanilla.  The Basic Grey background was embossed with the new Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  I love how it makes such a lovely frame, leaving space for stamping and decorating!  I treated it with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz before adding the other elements of the card.

 

 The cupcake in Concord and Pink was layered onto Very Vanilla Scallop Rectangle diecut background which was sponged with pink then adhered over two squares of the Lap of Luxury DSP.  A Basic Rhinestone at the tip of the candle adds some bling as do two tiny Pearls on the squares.  Diagonal ribbons of pink grosgrain ribbon complete the card.

Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted.  The holidays, the weather, other issues.., life, you know!  I do now have a number of things to post so be watching!

Thanks for visiting!
