Well, I've been having some crafter's block lately...probably because most of my attention is based on my real job in an accounting office. This time of year is very trying on us.
I went to our favorite cake shop and ordered some yummy guava and cream cheese cupcakes. For those of us who are Cuban, this is a staple fruit in our heritage. We love guava and always pair it with cream cheese. Well, this baker makes delicious cupcakes.
I decided I wanted to share some with some friends who I am very fond of. I made a card to go along. I really wanted to put a sentiment on it, but I was in a rush.
Paper is all Stampin Up...except for card base which is white PTI. I cut the cupcake from Create a Critter and used my gypsy to weld it together. It's cut at 4". I hid the face on the layer and then ran it through the embossing folder. I had to add some stickles...you know me. I also added some chalk in pink to give it some dimension. I used the Martha Stewart score board and made some marks on the wrapper so that it would look more real. It came out cute. I hope you can see it. I actually made two of these...one has a blue ribbon.
Have a great weekend.

I LOVE shaped cards! Great job with this one! Guava and cream cheese? While I probably would have wondered about that combo before, that sounds AMAZING this morning to this pregnant lady!!! YUMMY! I'll have to see where I can get one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! You're probably right that Gator fans would like my card, but I went to Pepperdine so we share colors! ;) Peter (who the card is for) went to Harvard so it's not even close to his school colors. But it's funny how after you go to a school where orange and blue somehow magically had to "match" that you think they match all the time! haha. Have a great day and I hope you participate in our challenge and link it up for a chance to win April's kit!
Ok, I'm gonna try and make this next!! I've been wanting to make one of these for the longest and now I am inspired to do it!! Thanks!!
