Cupcake Box and Matching Card

My neighbor had a birthday this week, I made her a breakfast muffin and used the tutorial here to create a cupcake box for it with the scor pal, I added a matching card and had a cute, affordable and appreciated gift!! The scalloped border and circle are cut with the nestabilities dies, the tip of the box has a piece of clear card stock to keep the muffin from drying out. The flowers are done with simple paddle punches and the buttons are attached through a button hole punch I made in the paper flower and tied on with scrapbookers floss. The stamped flowers are colored in with copic spica markers. The sentiment stamp and flower vase stamps from just rite stamps. The balloon and enjoy today stamp are from verve stamps.

So I went to bed at a normal hour last night, and thus didn't have time to make a card, but I had to, I had two sickies yesterday who seem to be mostly better today, its a short lived tummy things I guess, but sick kids are exhausting and then there was bunko to play too :D...

But this morning my craft corner was calling me once again and so I carved out a few minutes to whip this out while the baby was napping and my little-big guy was at preschool, and while watching the most recent LOST, love that show. ANyhOw, this is what I came up with, the name of the stamp, which is made by Stamping Bella, is called "is that a cupcake on your head"!! Im just awaiting my sentiment stamps, in particular the one that says "its a cupcake thing" to finish this one off, should arrive next week!!




And as a bonus, here is one I made yesterday afternoon that I just can't seem to get a decent picture of. You see the card is a beautiful lavender color but no matter where I photograph it, it look an ugly shade of pinkishpurple that looks like it doesn't match the girls dress. However, I think its a cute design despite my photographic ineptitude, so Im sharing it... The stamp, which is actually NOT a stamp is a gingersnap digital download.
