Clean and Simple Cupcake Mountain

Do you like cupcakes?  Who doesn’t!  The Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers Monday was to create a project with a cupcake of some kind.  I pulled out my Rubbernecker Party Time set with  cakes, wrapped packages and a cute single cupcake. I didn’t want to use one single little image on my card so I created a party platter full of piled up cupcakes.  When I was finished I asked my husband if they looked like cupcakes of snowy mountains.  He said “neither”! LOL

I stamped the cupcake image on close to cocoa cardstock using chocolate chip kraft ink, embossed with clear embossing powder and cut them out.  I painted white kraft ink on the top portion of each cupcake and embossed with Ranger White Embossing Puff to create the frosting. Using Glossy Accents I applied 1/8” punched circles for the cherries on top along with tiny tips of punched pine. I layered the cupcakes to create the appearance of a dessert platter and applied foliage for the decorative garnish.  The finishing touch was the sweet pink multi loop bow . 

I hope your week is going well.  Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Great card! I’m so glad you made the cupcakes chocolate since that the best flavor for cake! LOL!! (Sorry… I’m a chocoholic!) I had never heard of the Ranger Embossing “Puff” before. My local stores have such pathetic selections of embossing powders and when I’m shopping online I never think to look for little things like that. Thanks for giving me another item to add to my wish list!

  2. Kittie, Kittie, you are just amazing. How your mind comes up with your designs, I just don’t know, but I am so glad for the craftiness that comes out of it!! Your white topped cupcake mountains are just the sweetest creation. Love how you accomplished this. Thanks for sharing the details.

  3. My favorite style of cards for Christmas or any time is copying your style! I’ve never seen anyone who can take a simple punch or stamp and turn it into a true work of art like you do! Yours is the first email I open and cannot wait to see what you’ve done now! That poinsettia is absolutely beautiful. So many little touches I just wouldn’t have thought of on my own – keep up the good work – I am in awe!!
