This cute card we made at one of my stamp camps this week. My hostess wanted "Birthday, Birthday, Birthday" cards, so that's what we did!
This card uses the Round Tab punch again to create the cupcake base and the frosting. I ran the Pretty In Pink cardstock through my crimper BEFORE I punched it with the Round Tab punch. The candle was created with the 'My Way" arrows punch. I used the smallest arrow and punched one from Chocolate Chip and one from Summer Sun cardstock. I then clipped off the "barbs" of the arrows and layered the Summer Sun tip behind the Chocolate Chip. Both are layered behind the top of the cupcake. The cupcake is layered on a Close to Cocoa Scalloped Circle. I used the Round Tab punch to create the 2" circle around the Close to Cocoa Scallop Circle. I stamped "wish big" from "Short & Sweet" on a scrap of Whisper White, then cut it down with my snips. I attached it to the inside of the Aged Copper Hodgepodge Hardware frame with mini-glue dots, then attached it all to the card with the aged copper brads that are included in the Hodgepodge Hardware Kit. REGARDING THE RETIRED ACCESSORIES LIST: This list will not be published until July 21st, but we DO KNOW from the information included in last month's special that the Aged Copper, Antique Brass, and Pewter finishes will be retired, so if you have been thinking about purchasing one of these Hodgepodge Hardware kits, you need to order soon! The "Styled Silver" Hodgepodge Hardware featured in the Occasions Mini will most likely be in the new catalog, but until we actually see the new catalog (I get to see it at Convention in Salt Lake City on July 30!) we won't know for sure! Retiring "Berry Bliss" Designer Series paper and a piece of Chocolate Chip 5/8" wide grosgrain ribbon finished off this card.
