It’s Always Cupcake Time — KKS Release

Posted on July 15, 2012 | 35 comments

Welcome to Kraftin Kimmie Stamps‘ July release!   Once again, there are a lot of fun new images… Cheryl Alger has created a super cute Birthday Lulu set. Emilie Goulet has adorable Birthday Buddies.   And Annie has created six really fun Old Hollywood images.  Also, we have new Birthday Trinkets designed by Nicole Aspinall.

You’ll see most of the new images throughout the hop.  If you just popped in here, you may want to start at the beginning as you’ve missed just a few things. You can do that HERE. Be sure to leave comments as you go because two lucky winners will each receive a package of assorted stamps from the release!

Tonight I’ve used Birthday Lulu, peeking around a *really* big cupcake.  🙂

I used Copics to color my image, adding in ground using colored pencils.  To help fill the extra space in the upper left corner, I added a little banner.

Your next stop along the hop is with ELAINE.  I’m 100% certain she’ll have something amazing to share.  (Her coloring is unbeLIEVEable!)  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone.  🙂

My Favorite Things is sponsoring the Cupcake Inspirations challenge today. After digging through my MFT sets, I decided to combine two for one image on my card.  🙂

I used Fresh From the Oven, Hello Cupcake, Typewriter Alphabet and Mini Wavy Pennants Die-namics.

After stamping my chef onto X-Press It Blending Card, I masked her, then inked the cupcake portion of the Hello Cupcake image, stamping next to the chef. I colored with Copics and pieced the shirt, bowl and pants.   After assembling, I cut out my image and adhered over the lined paper.

The little banner was easily created using Mini Wavy Pennants.  A thin strip of dotted paper helped to decorate the top edges and small pieces of foam tape beneath each banner added a bit of dimension.

On the inside, I used a bordered sheet from the patterned paper pad, stamped my sentiment and more of the Hello Cupcake image.

Base cardstock is Tangy Orange. Another favorite.  (It goes well with a lot of the reddish oranges found in My Mind’s Eye and Cosmo Cricket papers.)  🙂


Here’s the Cupcake Inspiration photo.  You can find the challenge details here.  I hope you’ll play along!
