In the last few months, I've been resisting the urge to buy new supplies. I know the horror. Not only has it been good for my wallet, but it's also been good for my creativity.
I've started shopping my stash and casing Pinterest. I have a huge inspiration board for card making over there, and I keep adding to it. The inspiration for this cupcake birthday card came from the thousands of ideas I have over there. Once I had the idea, I started building the card.
Once I had the paper selected I pulled stamps, markers, and dies that would give me a similar layout to the inspiration card. While the inspiration card used a cupcake die I worked with stamps from Whimsy Stamps and selected a greeting from my collection of Simon Says Stamps stamps. I use Gina K Amalgam Ink to stamp any image I plan to color with Copic markers and VersaMark Onyx Black is my go-to for sentiments.
The cupcake was colored with Copic markers, and unfortunately, at the time of making this card I wasn't thinking about writing about my process so I have no clue which colors were used in the coloring of this one. After coloring the cupcake I used Tonic Nuvo Crystal Glaze to fill in the icing and a bit of shimmer pen was applied to the wrapper, the photo does those details no justice.
The style of this card, while layered is still a flat lay card with no dimensional elements. I've listed the supplies below, when still available, using affiliate links, but I encourage you to shop your stash and use the amazing supplies you have.
