Scrumptious Cupcakes Birthday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! We are celebrating Sunny Studio's 10th Birthday all this week, so this is Mendi here today popping in to share some bright and happy birthday cards for Summer using our fabulous Scrumptious Cupcake Stamps.

First up, I have a slimline-style card featuring a rainbow of our Scrumptious Cupcakes. I had stamped a number of these a couple years ago when we first introduced these stamps HERE so I just matched up as many pieces as I could and then stamped a couple extra cupcake wrappers for the yellow and green cupcakes to fill in some gaps in the color wheel. I had to check myself, because knowing the design patterns I often fall into I couldn't believe I hadn't thought to make this card back then.

I added a small slit in each cupcake with an X-acto knife to slip the candles through to look like they were buried in the frosting. I then inked up my card background using Mustard Seed distress ink to look like a glow behind each of the candles. I felt like my card was still missing a little something so I added the sparkle images from our Garden Fairy Stamps. I wanted a really long sentiment to span the length of my card under my cupcakes, but I didn't have something that long. I realized that it would be fun to repeat the sentiment from our Happy Thoughts Stamps twice like you would when singing the "happy birthday" song. I didn't even have to reposition the sentiment in my MISTI tool. I just let part of the card hang out and carefully stamped it again.

My second card mixes all the colorful layers from our Scrumptious Cupcake Stamps , and this time, instead of topping them with a candle, I topped each cupcake with a cherry from the set. I then layered each cupcake onto a polka-dot stitched square using our Window Quad Square Dies and patterned paper prints from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper and Polka-dot Parade Paper. I finished my card by stamping the "happy birthday" sentiment from our Everyday Greetings Stamps using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images so I have shared what I used today for these examples (from lightest to darkest).

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here! Today I'm sharing a birthday themed shaker card. The Rounded Rectangle Window dies make it super easy to create a frame with faux stitching which can be used for shaker cards. 

I used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die in the set to create a frame for my shaker window. I constructed the shaker element in the traditional way by adding a panel of clear acetate behind the window. Then I added some skinny strips of foam tape behind all sides of the frame to create the shaker well.

Onto a white A2 size card base, I stamped the words "happy birthday" at an angle towards the left side. I used pastel clay sprinkles as the shaker bits and carefully placed them onto the center of the card. I then adhered the frame with acetate overtop. 

Next was the fun part of adding all the decorations to the outside of the shaker. I used cupcakes from the Scrumptious Cupcakes stamp set. I die cut some little flowers and leaves to embellish even further. These dies can be found in the Basic Mini Shapes 2 and Basic Mini Shapes 4 sets. 

Here are the Pink Fresh Studio ink colors I used to stamp the cupcakes and candle: Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine, Mermaid Cove, Soft Lilac, Candy Violet, Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Lemon Whip, Sunshine.
