I almost passed up purchasing the Hero Arts Happy Birthday Cupcakes Cling Stamp set because I own the Hero Arts Big Cupcake Cling Stamp. But I liked the font and the stitching around the "Happy Birthday to You" text in the Happy Birthday Cupcakes Cling Stamp set so now those stamps are a part of my collection.
As soon as I walked in the door with my new stamps I sat down at this work table and started to create. Most of the papers I used on these 2 cards are from PaperTrey Ink's Bitty Dots Basics paper collection. That collection includes 3 sheets each of 15 colors of 8" square paper. I love the quality of the paper and the colors, but wish the paper were at least 9" x 12" so that I could get 4 layering papers from one sheet that would be 4" x 5.25".
As I do pretty much every time I stamp cupcakes I stamped the cupcake bottoms on one style of patterned paper and the cupcake tops on a different paper. In addition to the text box I fussy cut the cupcake tops and bottoms. I added ice cream cone brads to the text image before I adhered it to the layering paper. I used Scor-tape to attach the cupcake bottoms to the cards and foam tape to attach the cupcake tops. The foam tape helps the frosting pop off the card.
I colored the hearts and sprinkles on this card with a dark brown Marvy marker and then covered the hearts and round sprinkles with Glossy Accents. . Now those hearts and sprinkles are shiny and look good enough to eat.
Have a great night.
