Well we have started a new year of challenges over at Pause Dream Enjoy and I am SO happy to continue to be a part of the Design Team there!

This year we are doing something different.  Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges will now post every other Monday.  

This week's challenge is "Desserts!"  When I think of desserts, one of my first thoughts is ... CUPCAKES!   And so I present to you ... my cupcake card!

Doesn't it make you want to take a bite??  I haven't decided what kind of card this will be yet -- birthday, thinking of you, invitation to come over for dessert (ha!) so I haven't done anything in the inside yet.

I made this card using a now retired Close to My Heart paper pack called "Stella" and some Lagoon cardstock.  I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut out my cute little cupcake. It's actually designed to be a card shaped in a cupcake but I decided to cut it a little smaller and adhere it to the front of my card.  I may even put a "surprise" note in the front since I didn't adhere the cupcake "wrapper" closed.  You can find this image on page 70, D10, Card, < Hppy Bday >.  I cut it at 4".

I added some "bling" by adhering a bunch of Sparkles - these are self-adhesive so they are very easy to use.  

Did you notice the swirls in the background of the card base?  After I adhered the cupcake to the front, I thought the background looked too plain.  I found a stamp set on my desk called "Love" which had some swirls in it so I decided to ink up the swirly part of the stamp and random stamp the background.  I thought it added a little "somethin' something" extra to the card.

Here's what the stamp actually looks like:

    

See the swirls?  That's what I inked and then stamped on my card.  Don't you love to find new ways to use something you already have?
