STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Think Neapolitan ice cream? I cropped the 1″ squares of Whisper White, Chocolate Chip and Flirty Flamingo using the Layering Squares Framelits Dies (one of My Favorite Things).
- The squares were adhered to a 3 x 3 piece of Whisper White Card Stock and layered over a 3 1/4″ square of Crumb Cake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- All that glitters . . . my “frosting” enjoys a few sweeps of Clear Wink of Stella.
- There are three stamps/steps each for the frosting and cupcake. For the frosting, I began with Pink Pirouette, layered Blushing Bride on top and finished with Flirty Flamgo. For the cupcake base, I stamped off Crumb Cake for the first stamp, then Crumb Cake (without stamping off) and finished with a touch of Chocolate Chip!
- The sweet pop of Blushing Bride color on the sentiment is a dot from Stampin’ Up! Subtles Enamel Shapes (one of My Favorite Things).

I love your color scheme and the checkerboard! It reminds me of something from my childhood, but I can’t quite place what it is? 🙂
Your kind comments make my day!
Beautiful card…..great design
Love the colors and layout.
Such a pretty, neopolitan color combo, Mary! I knew it reminded me of something and that cupcake is the perfect addition to the ice cream.
Such an awesome card, Mary! The cupcake is soft and fluffy, and the pattern beneath is bold and sassy. Love all the amazing elements of your creation.
Thanks for your comments . . . really make me smile!
Mary, this card is so cute…. you always do such a good job with designing your cards. I love how you give detailed instructions!

The checkerboard background certainly says neopolitan to me with the delicious looking cupcake on top. Very pretty!
