Cupcake Versatility

With just under a month to go before the 2011 Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue ends, here is another card which I made to show you yet again how versatile the Build a Cupcake punch is. Not only does it coordinate beautifully with the Create a Cupcake stamp set, I've shown you how to make purses too. Here's a another idea but without the coordinating stamps.

 cardessence tips

• rub SS ink pad on both sides of the Square Lattice embossing folder before embossing the CC card stock and choose which side you prefer; trim to ice cream cone shape;
• apply Dazzling Diamonds to card stock only after die cutting eg. die cut the numbers 4 and 0 before applying the DD;
• to achieve a non-standard embossed Framed Tulips card layer, check out Sharon Field's step by step tutorial HERE;
• use markers to colour the cherries that were punched out from the Build a Cupcake punch;
• in this card, I applied Crystal Effects to the heart image and the cherries and shimmer mist to both the WW mats.
