Today's Workshop - Crazy For Cupcakes

Hi everyone,

Hope your weekend has started off well :) My ladies came today and made two cute projects using Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set. The card was totally inspired and CASEd from this lady here, who has kindly allowed me to use for the workshop today :)

As soon as I saw the cute Sweet Shop looking design, I just knew I had to use the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper as there's two sheets of stripey designs perfect for the shop awning. From there, how could I not use Rich Razzleberry matching cardstock??? Isn't it lovely... this colour will be added to our Colour Collection - Brights in October's new Idea Book & Catalogue.

Have had Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set for a while, and haven't yet demonstrated this in a workshop setting, so thought it was about time. Cupcakes are so adorable and they have a lovely wheel called Cupcakes to match :) The ladies had a great time colouring in the cupcakes with pastels (Poppin' Pastels Technique), Stampin' Write Markers and Stampin' Glitter - I finally christened my Fine Cosmo Glitter that I've had for ages!

So, enough of my waffle, here's the projects in full:
