Birthday Cupcake

It seems odd to me that I have 3 amazing Close to My Heart Cricut cartridges, yet some cuts I have never used! Not sure why I would not cut a shape, that I also have a coordinating stamp for....DUH! Check out this sweet cupcake from Artiste.

I fulfilled 2 of my needs with this card.....first, the need to use up scraps....second, use a cut I have never used before. All of the stamped images are from a stamp set that comes with our amazing Artiste Cricut cartridge. This sweet cupcake cuts the entire shape, then the icing separate, so you can change up the colour or icing as it were.

I used some of my favourite patterned paper from both retired Claire and Clementine. I stamped and cut the cupcake and icing in coordinating Chocolate and Cotton Candy cardstock and ink. The mats are Creme Brulee and Chocolate cardstock. I coloured in the flame with my Creme Brulee marker and added Stardust Glitz as sprinkles.
