Create a Cupcake Valentine's Card

And no frosting or a single calorie in sight!  Let me explain -   

As I've already said I really like purple so thought I would have another go at LESS IS MORE which is predominantly purple week. 

On my desk was the Create A Cupcake stamp set and the fabby Cupcake Builder Punch.  You can get both of these in the new Spring Mini Catalogue.  I love it when stamp sets have co-ordinating punches.  However you'll notice that I haven't built a cupcake after all.  Although I'm sure it would also make a fantastic Valentine's card.  

Instead I noticed that the cupcake topping stamp looks a lot like a cloud and it all went from there.  I used the punch to punch out a post it mask and sponged Concord Crush around it.  I placed this onto a matt of Elegant Eggplant. This was in turn mounted onto Whisper White and attached to the Perfect Plum card base.  The hearts are also from Create a Cupcake and were stamped in Blushing Bride then cut out with some glitter added.  One heart was popped up on a Dimensional. 

I'm so excited to tell you about how I made the sentiment.  It's also from Create A Cupcake but I only stamped part of it.  The full sentiment is "There's something fabulous about your birthday (must be you!)".  For the front I only used There's something fabulous by colouring directly onto the stamp using my Concord Crush Stampin' Write Marker pen. It was then punched out with the Modern Label Punch and popped up on dimensionals. 

I then got to wondering how it would look as a one layer.  So here's the result.  Same as before but only 3 clouds and this time I sponged with Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum as well as the Concord Crush.  The hearts were stamped with Blushing Bride onto the same card stock and cut out.  I covered these hearts with Glossy Accents and sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  

Here's a picture of how I finished the sentiment inside.

So that's it for me tonight.  Next time your looking at your stamp sets see if you find something else you can do with them.  Hope your week is going well and thanks for coming over.  I really appreciate your visit. x
