These colors were difficult for me and the creating became even more difficult when my Grand Calibur broke (4th in 2 yrs). I pulled out my Cuttlebug, but it's so loose, it won't cut most dies. It will dry emboss with lots of shims, so I used my Darice cupcake EF - cut 1 pink, 1 yellow, fussy cut and glued them together. EF: Cuttlebug Happy Birthday. Cupcake is on SB/Marvelous squares (had to pass through 6 times to cut it). Ordered a new, all steel, machine from CL! The brown looks like black in the photo.

I'm so sorry you had so much trouble with your old machines, but I know you're going to love the new toy! Even with the difficulties, you made a really cute card! I love the cupcake and the background EF. Thanks for playing in this week's Color Challenge.

This is an adorable card, Priscilla, and once I read about your series of unfortunate events, I applaude your persistence. I would have crawled back into bed and pulled the covers over my head. The happy b-day ef makes a great bkg with big cupcake.

This is such a fun card considering the difficulties! I love the way the cupcake stands out on the black background! So sorry about your Grand Caliber too! My Big Shot should have died too after the serious abuse I gave it over 5 years. I do hope you find something you are happy with! Your die cut creations are too pretty and I'd hate to see you stop posting.

How cute is this! I love how you cupcake pops off the page. Sorry for all the problems you've had. I can't believe my cuttlebug is going on 8 years! Keeping my fingers crossed....
