CUPCAKE ARCHED WISHES

This week I will be featuring a fun new March Online Exclusive Stamp Set called Arched Wishes.

We have a bundle called Everyday Arches that was released in January as an Online Exclusive and this stamp set coordinates with that Bundle.  I shared cards using that bundle the week of March 17 if you would like to check and see how they coordinate.

For today's card, I am using only the Arched Wishes stamp set -- no dies.  This colorful card is a simple Front Flap Fun Fold, and I decided to show off the last of my Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper.  This bright & cheery paper is perfect for birthday cards and the Arched Wishes Stamp Set is the perfect stamp set for birthday cards.

To make the cupcake I used the Paper Piecing Technique.  First I stamped the cupcake on Basic White cardstock and fussy cut.  Yes sadly, there are no coordinating dies with this stamp set.  Then I stamped the cupcake on two pieces of DSP -- one for the frosting and one for the cupcake bottom. After fussy cutting those images I adhered the bottom of the cupcake to the Basic White and then the frosting over it.  

Voila!  No coloring needed.  I stamped the candle again on a Basic White scrap and colored it with a variety of Stampin' Write Markers.  There are many colors in the DSP, so select any colors that you have.  Fussy cut the candle and adhere to the cupcake Basic White layer.

The Balloon was stamped with Black Memento on Basic White and then colored with a Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blend -- another color from the DSP.

What do you think?  Isn't this a cheery birthday card?

On the inside of the card the section of the flap's "band" that was adhered to the inside of the card base is covered with another piece of Designer Series Paper.

A Basic White narrow piece of cardstock is adhered over the DSP for your message layer.  I colored the confetti stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers before stamping around the sentiment.
