Yes, I know! This card is super, super simple. I think I'm going to go back and add some twine around the middle border. I based this card off of the Clean and Simple Sketch #123 from this past week and the colors were inspired by Jay Gee's Nook Challenge #3.
I pulled out some of my glittered paper and used the dies that match this set to cut out the frosting layers. The base of the cupcake was made with some old patterned paper that I had. The polka dots were kind of an off white, so I took a yellow copic and colored them to match the pink & yellow theme. I added a cherry at the top of the cupcake, but I'm not sure it actually looks like a cherry, more like a button with a string sticking out of it, lol!!
The yellow polka dotted piece was made with a Quickutz Embossing Folder. After I embossed the piece, I turned it around so that the embossed side isn't showing and instead you see the impressed side.
COMING UP...

TOO SWEET!!! I love the colors and all the bling on the cupcake. I was in the same boat as you and I too have come to the dark side ...... sorry I have been watching too much starwars with anton :) Just beautiful Jenn!!!
ReplyDeleteI was the same way with the cupcake set! I was so excited for a PTI cupcake set and when I saw the big reveal, it wasn't quite what I wanted. I changed my mind and bought it right before this last release and was happy to see the dies come out. I love your card!
ReplyDeleteI have had that cupcake set for a year now and still have not used it. That is going to change soon though especially now that I have the dies too. Great job on your card. I especially like how you stamped the bottom layer on PP. Love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You sure did change your mind! I thought you were pretty set against it! But sooo cute! I love the glittery paper! So fun!
ReplyDeleteJen - this is a gorgeous card - it's so good I could eat it (LOL!). I've ordered the dies but not the stamp set - think I'm going to have to add that to my next order. Thanks (?!) for enabling! Nx
ReplyDeleteWell now. I'm a changed person after seeing this. I NEED those dies now! I love the cuppie bottom, the impressed dots, and the glittery paper for the tops! Oh yeah, I will be on the hunt for some of that glitter paper now too! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Jen! I find myself weakening on the cupcake set, too. You definitely did a fantastic job on this card. Love the two textures.
ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable card. I just have to say your cards are not only cute, but you photograph them so nicely. I would love to know what kind of set up you use. Every detail of the impressions come out perfectly. I love that cupcake set too and will get it one day. Maybe someday you could do a post and show us your photo tips. I would love it.
ReplyDeleteAwww...that is SO cute! I've never even thought about cupcakes unless I'm eating them, but you made this look so adorable...and necessary. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to cave for the Cupcake collection - it's been on my 'maybe list' forever. Your sweet card is a glittery delight!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very sweet card!!! :)
ReplyDeleteJen - this is seriously THE CUTEST little card! Can you believe I had those dies in my cart on release night and by the time I got to check out..........they'd sold out! lol
ReplyDeleteSo now I sit patiently and wait for the store to get restocked so I can FINALLY order!
Thanks for stopping by my little ol' blog too - really apprecaite that!

ReplyDeleteI love the simple design of this and all of the embossing. And the glittered cardstock just makes that cupcake look scrumptious! Super cute, Jen!
Very cute. I love the button for a cherry on top. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have not got this set Jen, but maybe I should after seeing this sweet little creation. The cupcake is so cute cut with the glittered paper. Thanks so much for joining us at Jay Gee's again :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute Jen! I just love that set, it hits the spot everytime!
ReplyDeleteI did not need to see this post because I have been resisting that set and now the dies!! Love your colors on here too!
ReplyDeleteI love all the different textures and the soft colors! It makes me happy! Great card!
ReplyDeleteCute as a button (pun intended). Love the glittery icing. So sweet indeed.
ReplyDeleteYour cherry button does indeed look like a cherry! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've had this set for ages but have only used it 2 times...sad. But your layers of glittery frosting are making me want to pull it out!
Such a sweet and yummy looking card! Thanks for playing along with us this month ... Ange
ReplyDeleteSo absolutely cute, Jen. Love the cherry on top! ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I sure am behind on visiting your blog! My husband keeps asking why I don't just mark everything as 'read' in my Reader. I keep telling him that I don't want to miss something great! So here I am one month later on this post! Anyway...love this card! The sparkle is perfect!
