Ahoy Mate | Pretty Pink Posh

While I can be quite girly, I have had a thing for nautical themed items for quite some time. In fact, back in my early high school years, my room was red/ white/ blue and had a semi nautical/ patriotic feel to it. {Don’t ask…I honestly couldn’t tell you why I chose that over a girly theme}

Recently, I was fulfilling an order at work and saw the Sailboat Chickie. How could I push this little guy aside for so long?! Over the weekend, I was at the store and saw these delicious looking cupcakes. Instantly I knew I wanted to create little cupcake toppers and a matching card featuring this little guy.

Did you spy my newly purchased Quinn’s ABC’s dies? These little letters are so much fun to use! If you haven’t seen it already, head on over to THIS POST to see the stamp set used, along with a video on the matching dies. {They are currently out of stock at Ellen Hutson, but they should be restocked soon!}

One of my March sponsors, Little Free Radical, carries a large variety of paper straws that are swoon worthy. Last month, I created a cupcake topper and card featuring a green straw {see here} and decided I wanted to use a grey straw today. I won’t lie, I literally am looking for any excuse to use one- they just make me so happy!

I hope that these little creations brought a smile to your face and inspired you. I’ll be back tomorrow- hope to see you then!

I love that you are pairing your cards with coordinating cupcakes. That is such a fun way to display them both. I wouldn’t be surprised if you started collecting cake stands too. They can be just as beautiful as the card and the cake!

  Lauren, they were vanilla bean cupcakes. I purposely chose a more subtle cupcake, since I wanted to make the card stand out. Thanks for the comment!
