At my West Coast Creators team meeting last week, this was one of the make-n-takes that everyone made. A little embarrassing, but after I'd designed and prepped this card, I realized that the Bashful Blue satin ribbon has already retired. I would definitely recommend doing this same card with Real Red, Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze.... it is a great combo! Then you could replace the satin ribbon with the Baja Breeze seam binding from the current mini! Doesn't the coordinating envelope finish it off perfectly?
Stamp Set(s): Create a Cupcake
Paper: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Brights Prints Patterns Stack

No one had any idea that the ribbon was retired. And if you never said anything we still woudln't. ;-)

I've been following your blog for a while and keep meaning to tell you I love your cards! As far as the retired Bashful Blue Satin ribbon, you could say you can dye it from the White Satin :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Angela! Great card and great projects on your blog. I might have to use your adorable tooth fairy container, my son is about to loose a tooth! This is too funny....I often search for inspiration online but for my most recent stamp a stack I designed my own projects (one with a spin from the mini (Plane & Simple)) ... I just came across this cupcake card that you designed for your downline and they are very much alike except for the colors and a few punches! Great minds think alike. I love your card and your color choices! You can see mine if you like, might be worth a giggle, I literally laughed out loud when I saw your because they are so much the same. Look what we can do with great products and tools! :) ~Alanna
