Happy Birthday!

Hi there,

After a successful class on Saturday, I decided to make another Cascade Card for a birthday.

The recipient loves cupcakes, so what better way than to use the Cupcakes Wheel and Create A Cupcake stamp set and matching punch.

This version is larger than the card made on Saturday as I've used a sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock.

Cascade Card - Front

Stamps: Create A Cupcake (Spring Mini Catalogue, P.22), Cupcakes Wheel (P.33).
Cardstock: Regal Rose, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White. DSP - Neutrals.
Inkpad: Regal Rose, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink, Baja Breeze, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Melon Mambo.
Accessories: Cupcake Builder Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Stampin' Around Handle - Standard, Stampin' Around Wheel Guide, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, SU Bone Folder, Dimensionals, Towbow Multipurpose Adhesive.
Card Size: 6" x 4" (flat).
