#JOS003

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.  I received some very exciting news last week.  My shaker card was chosen as the winner of challenge #JOS002 and I get to be a guest designer for #JOS004 challenge.  Woohoo!!!

Today’s card is for The Joy of Sets Challenge #JOS003.  You may use any Stampin’ Up! stamp set, new or retired, but there’s a twist.   There will be a new letter selected each fortnight and that letter must be in the name of the stamp set you use.  For this challenge the letter is “C”.

Now I don’t have many stamp sets with the letter “C” in the name so I’m using a retired set called Sweet Cupcake.

I’ve made a Z fold card using Melon Mambo card stock and retired It’s My Party DSP.  Z fold cards are so easy to make and they look really effective.

Here’s a photo from the top so you can see how it works.

I’ve used the retired Cupcake Cutouts Framelits (try saying that 3 times fast) to die cut the word “Sweet”…..

…..and to die cut the cupcake and candle.  I’ve stamped the cupcake in Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo and adhered part of a Delicate White Doily behind it.

The best thing about a Z fold card is that it folds flat and fits in a standard size C6 envelope.

I hope you like my entry for the challenge.  I love reading your comments.
