Honey Bee Stamps Blog Hop

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!

    Such a beautiful CAS card that really packs a punch. And just change the pink to blue for a masculine card. 🙂

    Super cute and thanks for the tip about HBD2U, my granddaughters would get a kick out that on their cards. Well done as always.

    I thought I left a comment on this earlier, but now I don’t see it……I love the clean-and simple design of your card and the pretty shimmer you added to your cupcake! So beautiful!

  58. Amber Scholtz says

    The shading using the distress oxide inks is really good on the icing. The shimmer pen adds a nice touch also.

    What a sweet card, and SUCH a great idea using the Distress Oxide inks for the frosting! I would never have thought of that!

  86. Jeannie F says

    Great card! I love how you made the stripes on the candle. I really like this little die set.

  89. Teresa Doyle says

    So sweet Cathy and I like the shimmer on the frosting, it really adds to the simple design. TFS!

  91. Betty Bywater says

    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.

  92. renee milner says

    Such a lovely card and I really enjoyed your video! Scoring the cupcake liner is the perfect touch. Your pretty pink shading behind the frosting makes me think of a sugary cloud glowing around the cupcake 🙂

  93. Mary Holshouser says

    around the cupcake was a
