Cupcake anyone?

Hi everyone!

I hope your week is going well.  I meant to post again last nite, but ended up working furiously on some sympathy cards instead.  One of my co-workers lost his wife suddenly over the weekend. She was only 56.  I made three cards to send to the different plants & to corporate so we could all sign one. Makes you want to hug the people you love  & tell them just how much you love them.  I try to do that anyway.  Our family has always been a bit on the "mushy" side when it comes to that.  And for that, I have always been so grateful!   We all know how much we love each other.

So here is the card for tonite.  I got a set of cupcake stamps that came with matching die cuts when Michael's had their last half off coupon. It was a Spellbinder/Hampton Art combination set. It cuts & embosses the stamped image.  Pretty slick!  Here is the first card I made with it.

 
I used a Marianne die for the background & the paper is from Recollections. I colored the cupcake stack with Prismacolor markers.  I think it turned out pretty cute for such a simple image.
 
 
Have a great Wednesday!  Catch you later!

  4. Very cute card! I would just love to see your die collection, I'm always so jealous. I wish I could get back into cards. Right now, I just can't even think about making cards. Wednesday we will hopefully find out what is wrong with my husband. Maybe then I will be able to focus on something else.
