Today I’ve got a sweet yet calorie free card treat to share with you featuring a really fun wafer thin die set from Honey Bee Stamps called Cupcake Builder.
Say it with me: oh, for cute!
This little cupcake builder die set has so many possibilities! I kept it pretty simple, using some of my favorite Distress Oxides of late to create my pink frosting layers. I also added a layer of shimmer to the frosting using a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen. I even created some simple pink stripes on my candle using a Copic marker.
A added a few score lines to the cupcake liner/holder thingie, and the result is a simple birthday greeting that is pretty clean and simple!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
NOW FOR THE HOP DETAILS: Please leave a comment on each blog in the hop for a chance to win the Honey Bee giveaway (two winners $30 gift certificate each)! Winners will be announced on this page of the Honey Bee Stamps blog on February 1st.

Love the colours of the cupcake. Precolouring a scrap and then diecutting in the area for the desired look is a much better idea than trying to blend on a precut diecut. That’s the tip I’m taking away today. Thanks for sharing.
