CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Sugar is Sweet

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Hop theme is Sugar is Sweet; cards focusing on sweets. I'm not much into sweets, my preference is savory/salty, but these adorable cupcakes look mighty tasty! Looks like pistachio, lemon, and strawberry to me. 😋

I wrapped the Natural ribbon around the 3" x 5 1/2" DSP and adhered it to the embossed 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock, then the whole thing was adhered to the card base.

After stamping the cupcakes in Crumb Cake ink, they were colored with Blends and die cut with the 1 1/2" square Stylish Shapes die. The greeting was die cut with the banner die from the same set and adhered behind the bottom cupcake, then they all were popped up on mini dimensionals on the card.

I used a couple of items from the upcoming release of new Online Exclusives on March 4th - the sequins and the embossing folder. The embossing folders (set of two) are the narrower ones that emboss 3 1/4" x 6". Stay tuned for a trick on making the whole panel embossed once customers can order on March 4th!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.
