Cupcake and Jellyfish

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope your weekend has been great so far. 

Today I was on a mission. To start using new goodies that I had acquired from the HLS Craft Retreat - the other mission was what to choose!

Now, Miss USA (aka Darnell) has a very well timed NBUS challenge that gave me the kick in the pants to get started.

I had seen a couple of fellow bloggers in my feed, posting about the challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. I had a light bulb moment. I had received a gorgeous die set from Susan (fellow teamie at ATCAS) for my birthday in July. It is the mini cupcake by Paper Smooches.

Here is my card -


I die cut the cupcake and sprinkles from Brusho panels that I had spare. The colours are Lime Green and Purple. Love them! I stamped the sentiment with Memento Luxe Ink - Sweet Plum. It is from the Happy Little Stampers Fun Birthday Sentiments set.

The challenge at Cupcake Inspirations is to also decorate the inside of your card. I had the perfect PTI stamp set to go with my cupcake. I RARELY decorate the inside of my cards so thanks for the challenge :)


Here are the challenges that I am entering this card into -





I was looking at the cupcake die and had another light bulb moment. When used upside down it looks like a jellyfish!


The background is a piece from my stash made at the HLS Craft Retreat (using Brusho, Starch and Cling Wrap). I drew the tentacles and added googly eyes for fun :) He looks a little.... angry??

The background die that I used on both cards is one of my new ones from Sizzix. Love it!

I would like to enter this fella into the following challenges -

Allsorts - Use at least 2 dies
Die Cutting' Diva's - Birthday

Thanks for popping in today. Have a great rest of your weekend :)

    Only you could make a darling jellyfish out of cupcake frosting, Kylie! I love it! And I love your moist and delicious lime and grape NBUS cupcake, too! The only thing I don't love is that now I've seen that cool postage panel die, I must add MORE to my MT. NBUS! Thanks a lot, lol!! And thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #7!! Hugs, Darnell
