Petal Cone Cupcake for May Play Day!

We made this card at May Play Day; it uses the Petal Cone Die to make the cupcake.  I followed instructions from Heather Summers (www.stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/2011/03/petal-cone-dieits-a-cupcake.html). 

Here is my recipe for the project:

My husband suggested that it would look nice to make the Petal Cone Die piece from a "chocolate" color, that it would probably show up better, and I agree with his suggestion!

Everyday Enchantment Birthday Card

I have several birthdays coming up, so needed to make a few cards (work ahead?  WOW! What a concept!).  Anyway, I saw a card by Ruth Norton, a fellow Stampin Up demo, on Stampin Connection, a demo only web site.  I CASED her sketch, used the same stamp set, but totally different colors and I used DSP instead of embossed cardstock.  I don't know if the picture will do it justice, because the colors are SO bright and cheerful--I just love the Everyday Enchantment DSP!

The little brad from the Everyday Enchantment brad and ribbon pack adds just the right touch!
