i {heart} paper and Cupcakes, Too

Here's my first card featuring goodies from i {heart} papers. My package came yesterday and I couldn't wait to play with my new stuff! I paired some stamps and coordinating paper for Mary Jo's sketch challenge. This is a great, simple sketch with lots of possibilities and really showcases fun designer papers, too.

IHP has lots of products that fit with the current cupcake craze in stamping. There's some K & Company cupcake patterned paper that's a perfect match for the Hey There Cupcake stamp set. I used the patterned paper for the large panel on the cardfront.

The cupcake is stamped directly on Pink Pirouette paper using slightly darker Regal Rose ink. I paper pieced the top part of the cupcake using shimmery white cardstock. I added some Cotton Candy Stickles to the hearts on the cupcake top as a fun embellishment. I layered the cupcake panel on a scalloped circle, then attached it to the cardfront with a dimensional.

Off to work now . . . see you later. If you haven't had a chance yet, stop by IHP to check out all the fun stuff (I am loving the ribbon selection--may need to get some more of that soon . . .)
