Create a Cupcake

The new Create a Cupcake stamp set and the coordinating punch are so much fun to create with! I punched out the icing and then embossed with with the perfect polka dots embossing folder. I stamped the cupcake base in early expresso and punched it out as well. I used a texture plate for the…

Wicked Cool Cards
