STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Start with a 4 x 5 3/8 card base of Crumb Cake card stock.
Use the Big Shot and Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies to crop the following pieces: 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 (largest die) with Very Vanilla card stock, 3 x 4 1/4 die with Very Vanilla card stock, and 3 1/2 x 1 5/8 die with Flirty Flamingo card stock, cut to expose only 3/8″.
Adhere the largest and Flirty Flamingo rectangles with Snail Adhesive. Adhere the 3 x 4 1/4 rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Big Shot and Call Me Cupcake Dies to crop the following: Vellum card stock (cloche). Flirty Flamingo card stock (frosting & flower), So Saffron card stock (baking cup), Early Espresso card stock (cupcake & stand), Very Vanilla card stock (hearts). TIP: I trimmed the base of the cupcake with Paper Snips for a more modern look. Adhere the frosting with Stampin’ Dimensionals, the flower with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional, and the rest with Snail Adhesive.
Use a 1/4″ circle punch (retired) or hole punch to crop a piece of Early Espresso card stock and adhere to the flower center with Snail Adhesive.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink onto Very Vanilla card stock. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, and coordinating Layering Oval Framelits Die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a piece of Crumb Cake Nature’s Twine into a bow and adhere with a Mini Glue Dot. TIP: Roll the Mini Glue Dot a bit (to reduce it’s size) so that it doesn’t show below the knot.
Use the Big Shot and Beautiful Layers envelope liner die to crop a piece of polka dot Flirty Flamingo 6×6 Designer Series Paper for Very Vanilla Medium Envelope flap. Cut to 2″ high and adhere with Snail Adhesive. Here’s a quick video demonstration with more tips on using the Beautiful Layers Dies.

Thanks! I thought a chocolate cupcake with strawberry frosting would be fun!
I love this pretty, sweet card, Mary, with the great colors. I think it could be for a birthday or thinking of you. I am a big fan of versatility. Enjoy your day!
Great points, Hilda. I was thinking “birthday” but it could be many occasions.
Couldn’t have added a single thing to improve this card my friend. It’s a Mary Fish looking card all the way! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks, Kadie. My favorite part may be the heart sprinkles.
Such a great card, Mary! I love that you recreated the cupcake with the dies alone – and the dome over the cupcake is wonderful! I love the pop of pink you added to the left of the focal image.
I felt it needed a little something to bright and balance. The pink was the trick! Thanks, BK.
Wow, Mary, you knocked this one out of the park. It is so adorable and modern, just the way you intended. Lovely colour combination.
That was my hope and I appreciate your validation, Beth!
WAIT, IT’S 3:30 IN THE MORNING , i would like to rescind my prior email. Im so sorry, it was so incorrect! ?
It should read……thank you for being such a motivator and you inspire me when my creativity is gone! I enjoy your website with all the talented artists at Stampin Pretty!?????
I love both comments. Thanks, Vickie, for your sweetness!
I think you are such a wonderfully talented designer, and I love your cards! Thank you for keeping motivated.
