Builder Cupcake Birthday

I love this punch from Stampin' Up - it has a matching stamp set too! You can stamp and punch or just go crazy with DSP and create 'designer' cupcakes. Lots of fun. That's what I did with these cards.



The cardstock colours are whisper white and strawberry slush from SU and the DSP is from Basic Grey. Loving the little cherries - the punch does those too as well as a candle and flame.



This one uses Whisper white, Marina mist and old olive from SU and some scrap DSP (origins unknown). The embossing folder is 'petals a plenty' from SU and so is the sentiment. I coloured it with markers - old olive and tempting turquoise.


More Basic Grey DSP, 'itty bitty banners' stamp set from SU, coloured with markers. The cardstock is from SU too - very vanilla, lucky limeade, so saffron and wisteria wonder.

The icing part of the cupcake makes pretty cute clouds too!

Apologies for the dappled light - afternoon not good for photography! Won't make that mistake again.

On a Personal Note -

Well the anxiety monster won for the last couple of weeks but I am now creeping back into the world again.

Our cat, Panther, turned 4 yesterday so we gave him a special dinner. Schnitzel was most perplexed as to why he didn't get a special dinner too! He had his last month (he turned 8) and has been wondering ever since what he has to do to access 'happy birthday' meals!

My daughter and I have been spending time together each Thursday morning sorting through photos to scrap into a pet album. We have had many pets over the years - some for a short stay (chickens - torn up lawn anyone? and foster dogs) and others for their natural term (guinea pigs and rabbits). We have also had one who lived long beyond his natural years - Speedy the little fresh water minnowy thing. I was told 2 years max - he lived for 5! outlived the gold fish, fantails and siamese fighting fish. It was a sad day when he went belly up.

Happy Crafting!
Cheers
Susie
