Tutorial Tuesday: Make a Cupcake!

Friends, I've made a big decision!  I've decided to make more consistent Blog Posts with better content just for you!  We're going to have themed days (Tutorial Tuesday, Transformation Thursday, and Simple Saturday) with only one longer tutorial post (Tutorial Tuesday---so today is the day!) and I'll throw in a few "surprise" posts here and there throughout the month.  This should make my blog a bit more engaging, interactive, and easier to digest!  Please let me know what you think and I will continue to evolve and change so I can be the best for you!!!

Okay, let's get started with Tutorial Tuesday!  

It's no surprise now how very much I love my Coffee Break Bundle.  And if you own it, you probably have tons of fun making coffee cups, too!  

But I struggled with how to use it on a birthday card.  Do you have that problem, too?  Well, one day, I magically saw a cupcake wrapper when I was die-cutting a coffee sleeve.  And then it hit me!  I can make a cupcake!

This card incorporates different components from different stamp sets, but you can easily substitute any of those extra elements for something you may have.

Take a look at the card we're going to make:


There's a little shimmer, a lot of pink, and a cupcake!  It's so me!  Haha!

Here's the supplies you will want to gather up...

Supply List:
  • Powder Pink Cardstock (8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; scored at 4-1/4")
    • Plus a scrap piece for die-cutting
  • Whisper White Cardstock (4" x 5-1/4")
    • Plus a scrap piece for stamping/die-cutting
  • Multi-Color Stripe Birthday Memories DSP (4" x 1")
Directions:
  • We'll begin with the super easy stuff; use your favorite adhesive to adhere the Whisper White Cardstock piece to your card base (Powder Pink Cardstock).  Now you can adhere the striped Birthday Memories DSP piece to the card.  (I placed mine about 3/4" from the bottom of the white.  Measurement don't really need to be exact here!)
  • Now let's make our cupcake!  First, stamp the swirly whipped cream from the Coffee Cafe Bundle (the Coffee Break Stamp Set) and stamp that onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock using your Classic Stampin' Pad in Powder Pink.
  • Using the sprinkle stamp from the Cool Treats Photopolymer Stamp Set, you can stamp sprinkles onto the "frosting" using Powder Pink.
    • Substitution: If you don't have this stamp set or you want to try something different, you can subsitute for sequins or more rhinestones, or even just leave it blank!
  • Use the coordinating Framelit from the Coffee Cafe Bundle to diecut your "frosting" piece.
  • Die cut a coffee cup wrapper from a scrap piece of Powder Pink Cardstock.
  • Die cut a circle from a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock from the second largest circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
  • Adhere your "cupcake wrapper" to the stitched circle.  But before you apply the "frosting", let's attach a snippet of the Shimmer Ribbon in Powder Pink to the circle (I just used a stapler!).  
  • Now, we can hide that staple and use a Stampin' Dimensional to pop up the "frosting" for your cupcake.
  • Use the Stylized Birthday Stamp to stamp your "Happy Birthday" sentiment in the upper left hand corner of the card in Powder Pink ink.
    • Substitution: Feel free to use any birthday sentiment here!  Big or small, it'll look good with your cupcake!
  • Add your cupcake circle to the card using a Stampin' Dimensional.
  • Finally, add a little bling to your card by placing three Rhinestone Basic Jewels along the right hand side of the card and use your Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to give your sprinkles a little shimmer.
Yay!  A perfectly pink, minimally bling-ed out Birthday card using the Coffee Cafe Bundle!  Who knew!?  Now you can make cupcakes without needing a special cupcake set all day long!  

Have fun!

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet??  If not, please do!  There's a bunch of amazing goodness there!  One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA".  It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles.  Whhaaat!!?  Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some.  Then I thought, These are so cute!  I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite!   After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my  most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general.  Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
