Simply Crafts January Challenge

.

Pam and Glora of Simply-Crafts Challenge have announced the challenge for this month on their blog.  The challenge is the cupcake cut with the heart on it from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge.  If you don't have this cartridge, you can make any project with a cupcake on it.

My submission for this challenge is an A2 size card.  The card base is Recollections Kraft Cardstock.  Background mat, cut at 4 by 5 1/4, is from the For The Record Paper Collection by Echo Park.   The cupcake was cut at 2 3/4 inches.  The heart was embossed with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder and Glossy Accents applied to the heart and allowed to dry overnight.  Frosting portion of the cupcake was embossed with the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.  Red buttons from stash.

I was amazed at how easy and quick it was to make this card.  I plan on making a few more of these to keep in my stash.  Birthday cards are always something we need to keep on hand.
