Do you love cupcakes? I do! I really like the stamp set Hello Cupcake that is free with a $50 order while supplies last or through March 31! Most of the cards I have been making are more for feminine, so I wanted to make a card that I could give a guy. I also wanted to use our new Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8" reversible ribbon since I just got it. Do you ever think you have ordered something, and then go to use it, and then realize you didn't actually order it? That is what happened to me. It came today so I went right into my stamping studio to create.
Since the ribbon already has 2 colors in it, I just needed to come up with one more color, and I chose Blueberry Bushel. It is an In Color that is available through May 2020. I like how it is brighter and a little bit lighter than Night of Navy, but not as bright as Pacific Point.
I first stamped Celebrate your Day all over the background of the card. I then stamped the frosting using Blueberry Bushel, and the cake part using Coastal Cabana. I then filled in the space in-between the frosting and cake with the skinny cake stamp. For this I inked up using Blueberry Bushel, and then stamped off first on a scrap and then stamped onto the white piece. This gives it a little bit lighter color.
I used layering circle dies to cut out the circle and the scallop piece.
To add the ribbon, I put adhesive all around the back of the scallop, and then started at the top and went back and forth with the ribbon so you could see both sides of it. Isn't that ribbon great! You get 10 yards for $7.
