Crazy for Cupcakes Creative Challenge

Yesterday I was in a store and noticed a couple of different cupcake projects . . . fabric cupcakes and glitter cupcakes. That reminded me of the fabulous cupcakes we had at the Vancouver regionals over the weekend. (The chocolate ones disappeared almost instantly!) And that reminded me of the cupcake stores I’ve seen cropping up all over.

Cupcakes are definitely hot right now! (Not to mention delicious, at least the edible ones!) And we’ve done our part to feed the frenzy; we have several  cupcake products (several stamp images from different sets, a punch, etc.).

So this month, let’s go crazy for cupcakes, shall we? I’d love to see anything you can create that features cupcakes!

I was trying to be good (budget-wise) and only bought the cupcake punch. When you use designer paper and the crimper, you can really add a lot of dimension to your cupcake!

Of course, I've since broken down and bought the coordinating stamp set. It just arrived yesterday, so I'll be cranking out more cupcakes very soon!

Here is a Birthday card for a 3 year old, I make b-day cards for the gals at my salon when we celebrate our birthdays, and one of them asked if Id make a card for her 3 yr old grandaughter. I used the Big bold Sizzlet Cupcakes, and the SAB Ice Cream Parlor Paper and accents kit. Adorable!

Here are 3 versions of the same card. Two of them I did at a Stamp-a-Stack and the third card was just for fun.

I resisted the cupcake craze for a little while, but I did end up caving - and I'm loving it!

Here's one to feast your eyes on... ;)

The Create a Cup Cake and 2-step punch have inspired me to make my next 500 Club event a Cupcake night. Knew they would be a hit right from the start!

Cupcakes? I'm in! With both feet! In fact, I had Girl Scout cookies for breakfast this morning... maybe cupcakes for lunch would be a great 'next step'

In any case, here is my cupcake contribution. This is a favor box that I've been making as a hostess gift at workshops lately.

OMG! I am sooooo lovin' the new petal cone die - just in case you hadn't heard! Today, I thought about using it as a base for a cupcake - don't ask me how my mind works - it's dangerous! This is what I came up with - Enjoy!

Shelli-
As you said, cupcakes are SOOOOO popular right now. Does that mean that this adorable stamp set and punch will be made available after the Mini expires? It would be great to add it to SU's other great Idea Book products.
A "hopeful thought" :)

Who doesn't love cupcakes! Here is a thank you card I made for my Mema for the cupcake kit she sent our children for Valentine's day in MDS. It is a tri fold card.
