It's a good day for CUPCAKES!

Well, Sunday again...and time for Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #16! Check out this great inspiration photo!! And while you're at it, head on over to the Hope Stamps Eternal BLOG to see more about this challenge! I have to admit, I had plenty of this color combo to work with, I just stocked up on some MME breaking free papers...although, this challenge is sponsored by Hope Stamps Eternal so I have to try to use products that they sell...well there in lies the problem. I dont own anything in this color scheme that I know they sell! ACK!!

SO...I fudged. And I'm probably not supposed to use this stamp image YET...I have it on very good authority that these cute stamps will pop up in the Hope Stamps Eternal store in the nearish future....They are the newest wicked awesome Inkadinkado mini sets!

Okay so here's the rundown of my card...I started with the coral/teal and white color scheme of the inspiration cupcake and settled on my MME breaking free paper, love all this sparkly so I pulled out my Fairy Dust mini brads by Imaginisce.

I do want to briefly explain how I secure my ribbons on cards, I know a lot of crafters struggle with finding the right adhesive to hold their ribbon in place. And honestly, I prefer to use two different adhesives. If the ribbon wraps totally around and I tie a bow then I will just use a few little mini glue dots under the knot. If I am just using a small length and tuck small ends around the edge of the card then I will use the red lined sticky tape along the entire lenght of the ribbon, and this stuff could hold the moon I think. It has a 24 hour cure time by the way, most people dont read the full instructions, but if you wait a day and come back and try to move something on your project you wont be able to without ruining something.

Now that you've gotten through this post, go see what the other Hope Stamps Eternal Sweeties are up to!
