Frosted Cupcake Birthday!
Well, the little man is doing much better on some antibiotics! Thank goodness for a good night's sleep for all! Here's to hoping today is a bit less crazy.
An update on files: Everyone who ordered the Birthday Card Class File should have received it yesterday, they all went out by the end of the night. If for some reason you didn't get it, let me know! The Scrapbooking Christmas Memories is still "in progress" and will be available as soon as possible!
Today I'm going to share with you a fun Cupcake Birthday card that I made for my mother-in-law. Can't you tell we have lots of birthdays this time of year!?
ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS: 
- The "frosted" look of the frosting on top came from the Shaving Cream Tecnique!!
- Squirt some non-gel shaving cream (such as Barbosol) onto a plate so that there's enough to cover the cardstock you're working with and that the cream is about 1" deep.
- Put a few drops of reinker (just a few — maybe 1 drop to 1 square inch) into the shaving cream. I used Regal Rose as my reinker color.
- Take a toothpick or other object with a point and swirl the reinker and shaving cream – be careful not to over mix, you don't want solid color!
- Place the cardstock down into the shaving cream, press so that it touches all areas of the cardstock.
- Pull the cardstock out and wipe off the extra shaving cream, the reinker will leave this fabulous looking cardstock print!
- Tip: Use a Shaving Cream with Aloe Vera for a soft feel to your cardstock piece!
- This giant cupcake stamp comes with lots of text to create a thank you note on the cupcake wrapper. Omit the words by using a Stampin' Write Marker and inking just the desired lines!
- The Cherry is coated with Crystal Effects to give it a more realistic look!
