My little niece who is the sweetest thing I know turns 2 the day after Valentines Day. I knew immediately that I wanted to make her a cute cupcake card. I used the same svg file as I did for my last blog hop card made by Maria Bell. Here is her link: http://stampininspirations.blogspot.com/2010/04/little-cs-new-relese-cc-design-stamps.htmlThis time, I cut the card base from Hibiscus Burst cardstock. The cupcake base is Bitty Box Basics paper scored with my score-bug from the underneath to imitate the fluted edges of a cupcake wrapper. The frosting was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and sprinkled with some rhinestones. I used some cute pom poms to line the rim of the frosting. I cut a couple of leaves from felt and used a PTI Raspberry Fizz button for the cherry on top. The number 2 was cut using the Century font and SCAL. I really love the inside too:

Oh my oh my, Cathy! This cupcake is divine! I love it! What I love about it most is that you've gone with Hibiscus Burst on the outer wrapper which is a neat choice and hardly ever seen cupcake-wise (so refreshing) and Tin Types inside! Genius! Actually all the charming elements you've chosen are so sweet and novel. So inspiring. I think I might need to get into my craftspace now and start baking. ;-)
Cathy.......This is just precious! Your niece will cherish this one forever. Love all of the detail.....especially the inside.
This is soooo adorable Cathy! I love that you used tin types on the inside. Congrats too on all your winnings lately. I've seen your name on Renee & Monica's blog so far:) Have fun with new goodies.
