Hello Cupcake and Gingham Gala Paper

Hello Cupcake swapWoo Hoo!  The Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper is back in stock!  There’s just something about gingham that makes me smile.  Pair gingham with a cupcake and look out!  🙂

This is another card I received in the swap I participated in.  This card is made by Sandy Carlson.  Isn’t it sweet?  Not only did Sandy pair gingham paper and a cupcake she also paired the colors Balmy Blue and Lemon Lime Twist.  I love when someone uses a color combination that I never dreamed of using.  I do really need to work on that.  I’m always gravitating towards the same colors and color combinations.

I actually need to put on my designer thinking cap.  My demonstrator friends and I are getting together on Saturday for a Shoebox Swap and I haven’t even begun to think of a card.  I’ve got a few more days, right?  😀

Sandy cut out the cupcake and the wrapper by hand.  Lot’s of work for more than a few cards.   Had Sandy waited a few months to make this card she would have been able to die-cut these pieces.  Yep.  That’s right.  The Call Me Cupcake Framelits will be available in March for one month only.  Although, as a demonstrator Sandy could have purchased them this month.  I do have my Call Me Cupcake Framelits but I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet.  Soon….very soon.

Well, I need to finish my paper work and start designing a card for Saturday.  Have a great day.  Take care and Happy Stamping!
