Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back guesting here on the Sunny Studio Blog. When I saw the latest release, I fell in love with everything! What an amazing release! I had to narrow down what I wanted to use, so for today’s cards, I am using the fabulous Cupcake Shaped Die, Chloe Alphabet Dies and Looking Sharp. Perfect for Birthday cards, which is what I am sharing with you today.
My first card uses the fabulous Cupcake Shaped Die. I love creating shaped cards, but it is not always easy to get the shape correct. With this set of dies all the work is done for you! You simply need to cut the dies from cardstock or patterned paper and you are good to go! I started off my card by die cutting the cupcake base card twice from white cardstock, as well as the frosting, candle and sprinkles. I then cut the cake and the cupcake wrapper from a kraft cardstock. Using Copic Markers, I coloured the elements to add texture, depth and shading. I also added highlights with a white gel pen.
Although you can adhere the elements directly to the cupcake card base (or leave it off, if you want to add the cupcake to a traditional card base), I decided to piece the elements together first and add tape to the back to hold them in place. I then added foam tape and adhered the pieces, as one, to the cupcake card base. I took the back portion of the card base and made a score line a quarter of the way down. I adhered this piece to the back of the front base, so that the card can stand up and open easily.
I took the sentiment from the Looking Sharp set,
masked it off so that only ‘birthday’ would stamp and stamped it on to white
cardstock with black ink. I coloured the piece with a matching Copic Marker
that I used on the cupcake and cut it in to a strip. It was added to the card
with foam tape. I took the Chloe Alphabet Dies and cut them from white
cardstock, as well as white glitter cardstock. The letters for ‘wishes’ were
layered up so that the glitter letter was adhered to the white cardstock one
(for extra dimension) and then added them to the card. This was such a fun card
to make and that cupcake is good enough to eat! ;)
That’s it from me today but I will be back in a couple of weeks with another guest spot as I have more cards to share! Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great day!
