Cupcake and Stardust

Cupcakes are rather popular right now, so I incorporated them into birthday cards that were a little more masculine.

The single swirl is stamped in the background of "Celebrate" in Moonstruck, Bamboo, and Honey. The stamp is also used on the cupcake icing.

Stars in Honey were stamped on the Honey cardstock. Colonial White Ricrac separated the CS and B&T. The cupcake wrapper was stamped on the back of the Moonstruck Stars and cut out. The icing was cut out and adhered with half-height 3-D Foam Squares.

The lower card uses Liquid Applique for the icing. After it was heated, I stamped on it.

Scalloped stamp was used with Honey on the Honey CS on the left card. Sprinkles were colored with marker and huffed before stamping on the icing. Direct to Paper distressed the Topiary, Honey, and White Daisy CS. Topiary Marker filled in the white part of the wrapper.

Happy Birthday with multiple candles utilizes the flexiblity of the stamps. The image was curved before stamping. The candles were then glued behind and in front of the icing.

Simplicity says the last card. The dotted border was stamped on the backside of the Moonstruck strip and dry embossed. The strip was then turned over and sanded before stamping. The cherry on top was made with a Cranberry Bigger Brad and Cranberry Waxy Flax.
