Now I must confess that the inspiration for this card came as I was devouring my sample box of Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates which I had purchased to make an altered wrapper for...but as I was unwrapping the ???? chocolate of the box and peeling off the cupcake baking cup - it occured to me that that I could make the cutest cupcakes with mini cupcake baking papers. Although I didn't realize how long tonight's design would take to create....I could have baked and decorated 3 dozen cupcakes faster. But finally it all fell together and I am quite happy with the final card.
I purchased Wilton Love Heart mini baking cups and cut 4 wedges out of 1 cup... when I think of baking for school Valentine's Days Parties - I always think of cupcakes!! Next I drew a cupcake to fit inside my cupcake baking paper (don't worry about how it looks as no one is going to see it). Using Decoart snowtext writer I frosted the top of the cupcake using a pallete knife and then I sprinkled it with white glamour dust. For the Tiny heart buttons I used the button heart from my Rubber Stamp Tapestry Peg Stamp set SH020021 Heart Button. I stamped this using gold rocket red brillance ink and then I cut out the stamped images and placed them on the wet frosting. My cupcakes took quite awhile to dry since they needed a fair amount of frosting to make them look 3D. Here is a closeup view of them:
The polka dot ribbon is from Creative Impressions and the Happy Cupcake day stamp is from Lockhart Stamps. I used Brillance black ink to stamp the image onto the polka dotted ribbon. The background is the heart A2 Cuttlebug embossing folder . The dollie background was created by cutting 2- 4" dollies in half and placing them behind my matted heart image. The delicate silver corners are Peel-Off Stickers from Best Creations. In the closeup you can also see that I added delicate silver peel off stickers to my cupcake papers as well.
