BBTB2 Cupcake Challenge and Blog Hop!
WooHoo! Time for another BBTB2 challenge and this week's the Blog Hop! If you've come from the fabulous Jeri's Blog you're on the right track, but if not, you may wish to start at BBTB2 so you don't miss a thing. The sweet and wonderfully talented Carole chose the cupcake from Celebrations, although if you wish to play along this week, any cupcake will do. I've been in sort of a mood lately and wanted to do something a little different so I dragged out my (creepy as my DH calls it, but I think it's cute) baby face stamp. The inspiration for the card came from my new Once Upon a Princess cartridge with the words "Baby Cakes" on it. I made a shaped card in DS using the border feature from the Celebrations cupcake. The pretty paper is Baby Boy from Heidi Grace. I crimped the cupcake bottoms and cuttled the frosting with D'Vine Swirls then inked just a bit.
Of course I popped the layers, then had a ball finding the fun embellies. I'm especially fond of the Alpha Beads spelling "YUM", 'cause aren't babies (and cupcakes) just too yummy for words? Anyway, be sure to stop by BBTB2 to see all of the delicious cards by my DT sisters and if you haven't been following the hop, be sure to start at the beginning, because there are prizes to be had. There's even a special one from Everyday Cricut (formerly Holidays with the Cricut, thanks, girls) if you sign up to follow BBTB2 and leave a comment there as well. My Blog Hop candy is a $30.00 gift certificate to Custom Crops and all you have to do is leave me a (preferably sweet LOL) comment. I'll be drawing the winner on Saturday, March 6. Now you're off to visit the uber talented Krista's blog. You can always count on her to bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!

I would have never thought to do a card like that- 3 cupcakes outlined to make a card. That is what is so nice about seeing what other people do with the same basic parameters. I love that you crimped the cupcake liners. What a neat idea. Great job!

Donna, Your card are always so much fun to check out and see what a different twist you do to each challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the layers on your card and that you put the 3 cupcakes together. I smiled as soon as I read the "baby cakes".
ReplyDeleteI like the cupcakes, but I think I agree with your husband that the baby is a bit creepy.
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that you used mutliple cupcakes. I am newer w/ my cricut and really could not understand what the "border" function was really used for. Thanks for teaching me!
ReplyDeleteHiya Donna,

I have a Blog Award waiting for you on my website.

Great card!! No creepiness that I see. I never would have thought the faces were stamps though, I would have thought they were images made into black and white pics. Great job and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow...love the design. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove this card Donna! The baby face reminds me of the Gerber baby on their jars of food. You are too funny, tellin us what your DH said, although I already knew of his thoughts. What do men know anyways,lol. Yes it is a little different from your norm, but hey, you are thinking outside of the box. Love your take on the challenge girlfriend!

This card is just gorgeous....you should take that stamp and stick a copy of it on the visor of his car so that it is right where the hubby lease expects to see it. or blow a copy of it up and stick it on the back of the bathroom door so he feels like he is being watched. i am rotten. lol.
ReplyDeleteUnique card! I llike that!
ReplyDeletegirl you come up with some of the most amazing projects...love this...hugs

ReplyDeleteWow! your work is so beautiful and this cupcake card is fabulous! Have a great week,Donna.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing idea! You took the cupcake to a whole new level! :-) Love it
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! There I was, insisting this morning that I left a comment on this and I didn't! 108 comments and not one of them is mine. I am a bad, bad friend. And this card is definitely one of my faves! I love those little baby cakes, and for some reason, I don't find them odd at all (weirdo!). Still working on the crappy mood. :)
ReplyDeleteDonna I just adore this card. I do have DS but have yet to make anything with it! Can you tell me where I might find a good tutorial for how you made the base card for this Cupcake border card? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am amazed the face is a stamp. Fabulous job and I too like the YUM embellishment.
ReplyDeleteDonna
ReplyDeleteHow cute your cupcake Idea is, so original, I love it ....
