Paper Sweeties August Inspiration Challenge #34-Happy Birthday!!!



Hi, Friends!

Time for celebration!  Paper Sweeties is turning three!!!  We would like you to join us this month for lots of ideas, inspiration, contests, and prizes(many sponsors)...woo hoo!!!  Please stop by here and scroll down to see the complete list of prizes!!!  And, scroll down here on my post to see how you can become eligible for one of the awesome prizes! 

How fun...alumni designers are back to join in the celebration!!!  What a lovely inspiration photo as seen above with the yummy cupcakes...yummm!  And, so without further delay...my cupcake card for the challenge...

For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with Doodlebug and Bella Blvd. paper.  The cupcake is from the stamp set Sending Sweet Thoughts and die cut with Sweet Cuts-Sending Sweet Thoughts.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Hello Friend.  And, the number three is from Alphas-Upper-Case stamp set.  The heart on the cupcake and star on bottom right was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Be Happy.  The twine(Cotton Candy) and sequins(Tuti-Fruiti) are also from Paper Sweeties. 
 
Well, it's all about cupcakes, so I made some delicious cupcakes highlighting those sweet little dolls in their adorable outfits...


 
Abigail, Emma, and Sophie were colored with copics and die cut with coordinating dies.  Abigail's outfit is from the stamp set Live Love Grow.  The little cupcake is from the stamp set Stand Add-on:Fresh Baked.  The Alphas-Upper Case stamp set was used for the number three on the cupcake.  The straws(Raspberry) and twine(Cookie dough) and (Creamsicle) are from Paper Sweeties, also.  Emma's outfit is from the stamp set Mahalo and the sentiment on her shirt is from the set Once Upon A Time.  Sophie's outfit is from Mahalo set for the shirt and her dress is from Sweetie Pie. 
 
Please check out more ideas and inspiration from my talented teammates...have fun!
