Seize the Cupcake

Phew...what a day. The first day back from vacation was all about groceries, errands, unpacking, laundry (although we really don't need the shorts and bathing suits here in New England right now!) and picking up Shadow (our Mini Schnauzer) from the Cape, where he was vacationing with his puppy pals. How 'bout that...my dog has vacationed on Cape Cod and I haven't! LOL! 

I can't tell you how happy I was to get into my stamp room this evening. I was definitely in stamping withdrawal after an entire week away, and I think I was in Nestabilities withdrawal to since I used three layers of them for each image. 

I popped onto Taylor's blog for inspiration from her Friday Cupcake Challenge, TECC49. This is a fun sketch, and when I saw it I knew I wanted to do the "disappearing cupcake" thingy. 

The card base measures 5.25 inches square and it's made from Gina K 120lb pure luxury white cardstock. There's a layer of chocolate chip, then a layer of Basic Grey striped paper, the Sultry line, I think. 

The image and sentiment are from the Hero Arts Clear Designs Cupcakes set. I thought the saying was perfect for my disappearing cupcake. I stamped the cupcake with Memento Black and coloured it with copics. I used my SU scallop circle punch to take a "bite" out of two of the cupcakes, then I cut out the remaining part of the cupcake. Don't know about you, but I would eat the bottom of the cupcake first and save the top for last, but it just looked weird when I punched them that way.   :)

I used my nesties to cut a chocolate square, then both pixie pink and kiwi kiss scallop circles, then white circles. 

The cupcakes are popped on dimensionals and the sentiment is on a double thickness of dimensionals because the little pink clip is pretty big. The sparkly dots are Bonbons from Stamping Bella. 

Thanks for stopping by!
