Celebrate Birthday Cricut Card

As part of my Stamp to Spend challenge over at SCS, I want to make sure I have a card for every occasion.  I started by creating some birthday cards. 

I cut the cupcakes out from Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge in the 1 1/2" size in the new SU In-colors. I just switched around the colors for each card.  I used one piece of cardstock of Pacific Pointe, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango and Riding Hood Red.   I then cut the cupcake tops (use shift cupcake key on the Cricut) in white, glued them up and dipped them in Martha Stewart's crystal fine glitter.  I used so saffron for the flame.

For the sentiment I used "Celebrate" from SU's Perfect Party Set.  I do really like how these came out.   I had been trying to figure out a way to use the new in color sample pack I bought when the colors first came out.  Now I find myself in love with Pacific Pointe.

   

Here is another version which I did for a swap that is going on over at SCS.  On this one I "popped" the cupcakes with dimentionals and I also had ribbon that matched the new in colors so I put it under the cupcakes.  On this card I heat embossed with a white opaque powder. I decorated the envelopes with the stamp from Crazy for Cupcakes.  The frosting area got a good dose of stickles. 

                             

Enjoy!
