A Sneak Peak and a Challenge

Ok for those of you who love to get excited about what is coming up then this is for you.  The card I created for the Stamping 411 challenge this week uses some new product from the Autumn/Winter mini.

The cupcakes are made using a stampset called Create a Cupcake and the sentiment is from a great new set called Bring On The Cake.  Both of these are absolutely fantastic sets and the Create a Cupcake set has a matching punch.  Yes you can actually stamp the image and then punch them out or just create your cupcake using the punch.

Ok now for the details…  The base card is Early Expresso to which I have added a layer of Whisper White card.  At the bottom I have added another layer of Whisper White card which has been embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  To this layer I have added a strip of Early Expresso card which has been punched with the Pinking  Hearts Border Punch.  Each of the cupcakes has been stamped with Early Expresso and Pretty in Pink ink onto Whisper White card and attached to a mat of Certainly Celery.  The little heart, flower and cherry have been inked using my Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery Stampin’ Write markers onto Whisper White card and cut out before attaching them to the cupcakes.  The greeting has been stamped using Early Expresso ink.

Here is a close up of the cupcake and the punched border.  This border punch is in the current mini which ends on the 31st March.

I think I am going to find lots of ways to use this little stampset.

Bye for now, Kris.
