Create A Cupcake... With Not A Cupcake In Sight

The Spring Mini Catalogue ends at the end of April and that means you only have a couple more weeks to get your hands on its contents!  One of the most popular items has been the Create a Cupcake stamp set and coordinating builder punch.  Cupcakes - or muffins, as I still insist on saying - have never been so popular so these stamps are a valuable addition to any collection.  Now I will be showing you a few cards featuring cupcakes, but for my first card with this set, I decided to have a play around and see what else they could make.

I thought the cases would make good Easter baskets in Crumb Cake (or any of the brown inks) and added in layers of grass with some torn strips of Old Olive card.  The baskets are the cupcake cases from the stamp set, with handles cut out of Crumb Cake card to match.  The hearts are one of the little toppers for the cupcakes, while the clouds are the icing.  The sky is Bashful Blue card - I wanted a nice pastel combination - and I inked the clouds in the same ink to match.  I chose the colours of the little hearts based on the lovely sorbet inspiration at Daring Cardmakers but I hope I'm still allowed to use blue - I have yet to see a green sky so there was no way round it!  I'd also like to enter this over at Simply Stampin', where it's all things Easter.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, a most versatile stamp set with a sentiment for most occasions. This was stamped in Tangerine Tango to match one of the heart colours and snipped into a banner shape. The whole panel was mounted twice onto textured white card stock and adhered to a Certainly Celery base.

I was going to show you an actual cupcake with this set tomorrow, but I've changed my mind as I've just seen an another potential use for this set.  You'll have to come back to see what it is!
