Sweet Cupcake - Retiring Products Blog Hop

Welcome back to Theme Week!

Retiring Products

… with a bonus hop!

This week I have been sharing some of the wonderful products that we will be saying goodbye to at the end of May. 

Today is a bonus day for Theme week because I am part of a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Hop.  Each of us will be sharing ideas for some of our favorite stamp sets and bundles.   Remember to hop through the list until you end up back here again, that way you can be sure you don’t miss anything.

The Sweet Cupcake stamp set and matching Cupcake Cutout Framelits are very versatile.  The words in the Framelits set are some of my favorites, although not used in any of today’s projects, I did use the ‘loop scallop’ die for the background on this first card sample.  I cut the design out 5 times and then adhere it to the same color (Crumb Cake) card base to create the background.  The cupcake base, top, and candle were also cut with the Framelits after stamping them. The base and candle are stamped in Mint Macaron (a returning color!), the top is Chocolate Chip (a retiring color) and Crumb Cake inks.  The candle ‘smoke’ is stamped in Chocolate Chip as is the sentiment. 

Above is a sample of the same card but a simpler version in the same colors.  The card base was embossed with a previously retired Textured Impression Embossing Folder, however, there are several current folders that would work great too!

This card uses the Picture Perfect Birthday Designer Series Paper Stack (6” x 6”) for the background image.  The sentiment is stamped onto Lemon Lime Twist ribbon using Memento ink. The cupcake base is stamped in Crushed Curry, the cupcake top is in Sweet Sugarplum, and the candle in Tempting Turquoise.

Until Next time . . .

Swirly Scribbles Framelits and more!

Memories Monday

Swirly Scribbles Framelits

Here I am again scrapbooking some of my older photographs.  I wanted to have some fun with these pictures of my daughter when she was in high school on the Harrison High School Pom Squad.

Car Wash

The page base is from the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper and all photos are matted in Whisper White card stock. I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelits for the ‘wave’ design near the bottom third of the page, as well as for the sun burst, Paisley Framelits for the water drops, Sunshine Thinlits, Cupcake Cutout Framelits and of course the Large Letters Framelits.

Dripping Words

I wanted to do something fun with the title.  CAR was pretty easy, but I wanted something to make them look wet, which is where the Cupcake Cutouts came in.  I first cut the dripping ice cream shapes from Soft Sky card stock and colored the drip edge with a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker.  Then I adhered them to Whisper White card stock before cutting out the letters, and used the marker again to outline the letters.

Misc. Dies

I didn’t have any framelits of the word wash.  So, I improvised!  I used ‘wish’ from the Cupcake Cutout Framelits and trimmed down the letter ‘a’ from the Happy Birthday Thinlit, which I used that to replace the ‘i’ in wish.

I used to worry when I did have a two-page spread to put in my scrapbooks, but then I realized that the memory doesn’t need to be spread out.  Since I can’t go back and take additional photos one page layouts are just fine!

If you would like to see more of my ideas, just use the one of the options in the upper right corner to follow me.

Until Next time . . .
