The new mini catalogue is here! And so is another round of Sale-a-bration!! I’ve been having fun with some of the products from the new catalogues and am so excited to share them with you. While the July-December mini catalogue is all about the holidays, especially Christmas, this card is something a little different. I’ve been on the look out for a new birthday themed stamp set and I found a really cute one in the mini. It’s the Sweet Treats stamp set.
I don’t think I’m quite ready to take the deep dive into holiday crafting just yet. So while I can use this set for Christmas, I decided to make a birthday card instead. I just love the versatility of this set. And I can’t wait to use the coordinating dies! For this card I started my colour combination with Pale Papaya, one of the newest In Colours. I also wanted something a little darker than Crumb Cake. So I went with Soft Suede and I really love these two colours together.
For this design I wanted the Pale Papaya to be the stand out colour. So I used it for the card base and frame behind the cupcakes. For the background I used a combination of the Pale Papaya and Soft Suede to stamp the images. Then I wrapped some of the White Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon around it and added a bow.
I really wanted some cupcakes as the focal point for this card. So I used some masking to create my cupcake pile. Then I used a Blender Pen to make some Pale Papaya frosting and Soft Suede cupcakes. Once that was dry I added some Wink of Stella to the frosting.
To help them stand out even more I used the Layering Circles dies to frame them. And then I popped them up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. I still wanted a little something more for this card. So I pulled out one of my favourite go-tos… the Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I love my bling!
I just LOVE this card using the Sweet Treats stamp set! And I can’t wait to craft some more with it.
