Birthday Cupcake Critters

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a card featuring the Cupcake Critters stamp set. This sweet set was part of the January release and I think it’s a must have for birthday and celebration cards.

For the colouring of my images, I took inspiration from a piece of patterned paper I wanted to use. I coloured the images with copics, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. To give the look of frosting on the cakes, I used a glue pen to draw over the images where I wanted the frosting to be, then dipped the images in some glitter. I also added some glossy accents to the cherry and candle, and sprinkled some glitter on top before it was dry.

Next, I adhered my paterened paper to the edge of my card. I then took a piece of white card and cut it down with one of the dies in the Scallop Borders 1 set. I’m reaching for these scallop borders more and more recently – it’s a great set to have in your collection.

I stamped a sentiment from the Cupcake Critters stamp set onto the white card panel, then used foam tape to add the panel to my card. As I’d used foam tape on the panel, I decided not to add anymore dimension and instead used liquid glue for the critters. Apart from the edge of the mouse, which needed a little foam tape where it sits on the patterned paper.

To finish, I added some of my favourite Pearl White jewels around the critters and sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card. There are lots of fun possibilities with this stamp set!
