I always start most projects by cutting out a lot of stuff:

The base card measures 5.5″ x 6.5″.

THE STEPS

  1. Cut a pc. of 8.5″ x 11″ pc. of white ECD Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 6.5″ x 11″.  Score on the long side of the 6.5″ x 11″ at 5.5″ and fold.
  2. Cut a pc. of designer paper 5.25″ x 6.25″.  I  chose this one by Reflections at Michael’s Craft store:2017-08-16 13.45.59
  3. Cut out of pink cardstock using the largest die in ECD 1120 – Stitched Rectangles.
  4. Cut out of light lavender cardstock using the largest die in ECD 1174 Dotted Rectangles.  Stamp sentiment in the upper left hand corner of the lavender mat.
  5. Cut the pieces for the “Ice Cream Cone”, “Tea Cup” “”Small Cupcake” and “Cake Stand” from white cardstock and the decorator pcs. from pink cardstock.  Color the “cupcakes”, “cupcake wrappers”, “chocolate layer” of cone and “drips” and the “coffee” with Copic Markers.  Assemble as shown.
  6. Using ECD Peel off Stickers, outline the designer paper layer with silver circle lines as shown.

That’s it!

I have been crafting with paper for several yrs. now. I am a single mother of four grown children (2 boys, 2 girls) and a grandmother of 6 (5 girls and 1 boy). I still work as a hairdresser part time at a beautiful retirement community in San Ramon, CA My passions are: gardening, sewing and crafting with paper while watching my favorite TV shows. I have an amazing dog named Shelby who I just can't imagine life without. I hope, with this blog, that I will inspire, teach, prevent costly mistakes in your journey and well, just have a lot of fun creating.
