It's time, again, for another Cheers and Challenges Eager Eight (CCEE) supply challenge! Our April hostess is Cindy Haffner and she sent all the CCEE Stampers some adorable cupcake & Bunny cupcake images from Stamps & Smiles. She also sent each of us 2 pieces of DCWV designer paper from the Sweet Stack. Cindy instructed us to use 1 or both of the designer papers along with any of the images/sentiments she sent us to create our cards.
I used a cupcake giftcard holder template that I found in the May issue of Cardmaker magazine. This is large measuring at 5 x 8. I'll tuck my gift card inside the paper cup liner.
I love this precious mama and baby cupcake image by Stamps and Smiles. I punched a larger cherry for the top of the cupcake using my one-inch circle punch and computer generated the Happy Birthday Baby (do you like the double entendre?) sentiment. I used my one-quarter inch punch for the cherry on top of the baby cupcake. For the sprinkles on my bg cupcake, I used my one-eighth punch on so saffron, cool carribean, and real red cs.
I'm not sure if you can see it in my photo, but I used my paper crimper for the cupcake liner. My image was colored with Copic markers.
If you get a chance, why not play along with us? Just use some kind of cupcake or bunny image---it'd be great if you have the Stamps and Smiles images, but they're not required. Check out our CCEE blog for the details and the projects my friends made here: http://cceestampers.blogspot.com/
TFL and have a great day!
