Cupcakes

Hello there.  The first release of the year at Whimsy Stamps (WS) is here!  Going forward, WS is switching from three mini releases to one release per month on the 15th at 12:00am ET.  I am starting off with the new Cupcake die set and baked up some sweet rainbow colour chocolate cupcakes. 🌈😉


All pieces, except for the brown base layer and sprinkles which were die cut from brown cardstock, were die cut from white.  Ink blended them in rainbow colours using finger blender brushes and the following distress inks (DI): Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Scattered Straw, Mowed Lawn, and Salty Ocean.


The sentiment from the new Polar Bear Birthday set was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on Bristol paper and heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder for some sparkle.  Die cut it out with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle and assembled onto a split black/white card base.  Added highlights with a white gel pen to finish.


There are two sizes of cupcakes in the die set, so a second rainbow cupcake birthday card was created in the larger size. 😋 


Once again, the base layer was die cut from brown and the rest from white cardstock.  This time I went for a pastel rainbow and used Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass, and Shaded Lilac DI.  Partial die cutting with the oval dies in the set was done to stack the icing layers.


The sentiment from Simple Sentiment Strips was white heat embossed on black cardstock then die cut out with the new Quick Stacks 1 die and its edges inked with white pigment ink.


On the background, white pigment ink was applied over the Sun Rays stencil.  Assembled the card onto a split black/white card base, then added dots/confetti with a white gel pen to finish.

As always your creativity is amazing, Trina! Love the first card, so clean but colourful but the second one is stunning, wow!! That stencilled background on black really seems the light on the stage and the sentiment matches perfectly this! And clever use of the oval dies to stack the icing layers! A sweet card, but SO impressive!
