Treat Yourself Cupcake Card
Hi crafters! I have a sweet (pun included!) card for you today, very simple but elegant. This would be a great card to send to just about any of your friends, don't you think!
The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for you, Sue x
Hello Sue. It's a few hour's before breakfast and I'm already peckish and what do you do - give me a tasty cup cake sample to salivate over - thanks. But it's cute and I love it. It's such a fresh looking sample and a real fun die that I'd love to own one day. A calorie free card to put a smile on anyone's face. Love it and will watch your tutorial later. Have a lovely day whatever your doing xxx
Until now, I always felt sorry for the petite dianthus. Now I think she's cute. I like how you made Eva looks like an embossed frame, how you made confetti with the fallaway from the border, how you didn't put blue in the candle stripes but instead glittered between them and on the flame, and how well the little bits of blue work together.
It really is adorable, and I'm sure any birthday girl would be happy to follow directions and indulge in a cupcake if one presented itself. This would also be a nice way to give a gift certificate to a spa.
it's just too bad there aren't any spoons to lick.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely sample today, I like this and as you said it could be sent to any of my friends or family, will watch video later.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
A really “sweet” and cute card Sue. I’ve watched the video and I love all,the dies you have used. This card would be perfect for many adults and change the sentiment for young children. Love it. Thank you, have a good day. Xxx
Good Morning, Sue Anyone would be pleased to receive this sweet treat on their Birthday! Lovely card which would also look fabulous in many other pretty colours. Have a great day everyone, looks like it is another one for us all! Lesley S x
Hi Sue, Lovely card for us to salivate over this morning. Could be used for many occasions. Love the colours you have chose too. Elegant! Love and hugs to all and hope you all manage to stay cool, Alison xxxx
Good Morning Sue. Such a lovely card today..... I have just watched the video.....sitting here with my lovely morning cuppa...... and my goodness .....you make everything look so easy. I have the Eva die and I never thought about using it like you have shown us in the video. I will certainly be having a try with that one, and I just might treat myself to the cup cake die after seeing this lovely sample. Sending best wishes to everyone this beautiful sunny morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Only you could combine whimsical and stylish to such perfection - love this card, it would work as a birthday greeting or a "just because" to cheer someone up...
Good Morning Sue and all Stunning card created with the cup cake dies. The cup cake looks so yummy and love how you have used the frame. I have just both this die set . Thank you for doing the video. Crafty hugs and well wishes to all.. Wendy
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Fabulous card Sue x will watch the video later as I have to go to the dentist x too many real cupcakes ! Thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hello Sue and all Beautiful card, the cupcake die is so cute and Ava is one of my favourites from the previous release, I had to have it and glad I did - it is even prettier in real life ! I am now looking at my other smaller dies to see if any others could be used in this way with Ava as a border. Your candle treatment is really pretty and the inspiration to use the papers too. Hugs Muriel x
Hi Sue, a lovely card and Ava makes a beautiful frame. Your cupcake looks good enough to eat and if it were not so hot I would be making some real ones for afternoon tea :-) Great video as always, thanks.
As you say Sue, a very ‘sweet’ card today. Ideal for any age or sex, not many cards are that versatile! Will watch the video later. Unfortunately this cupcake die is another for the wish list! Thank you Sue.
A wonderful card Sue. I'm almost tempted to make some cupcakes which I haven't done for years. Notice that I only said "ALMOST"lol. I love watching your videos even though my sight problem makes everything blurry. I don't have a TV but I do have a large screen PC. A word just came into my mind and the word is PERFECTION. Hugs. Marie P.
Hi Sue I have the cupcake Die but now I need the Ava Die to frame it and make a beautiful elegant card like yours. As always thank you for the great videos
Hi Sue, This is the only way I like cupcakes, on the cards. And this one is so cute and sweet. Love to watch your videos, there always some useful tips - the little away pieces to make little sprinkle bits for the cupcake, so simple and easy. Thank you.
Hugs from Toronto to you all and special hugs to all missing friends. Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette Carmen-Dorothy
