Meet Whimsy and Stars Studio Guest Designer Team!

Thank you so much to all the talented designers who kindly email me and requested to be part of the Whimsy and Stars Studio' first-ever Guest Designer Team call.

I'm grateful and humbled by all the overwhelming response from our design community! Blown away by all the talent, amazing blogs and beautiful coloring techniques from all of the applicants!

Making the final decision has been pretty difficult for me and it has taken weeks to make the final decision.

I'm very proud to finally introduce to you

Cupcake Cuties!! I'm today's Guest Designer at TAC Savvy Blog!

 

 

I'm so excited to be today's Guest Designer at TAC Savvy Blog! Stop by the blog and see more information on these cutie cards I made especially for "YOU Make February Fabulous!" event

 

 

http://theangelcompany.typepad.com/tac_savvy_projects_for_de/2011/02/guest-designer-mabelle-ro-and-cupcake-cuties.html

For these cards I used my favorite stamp set: "Cupcake Cuties"  (R-2050) and the "More Mimi" paper collection (V-855) as my starting point. I selected cardstock papers and Copic markers that match the patterned paper. Pinks, Greens and Browns with hints of cream will be the color palette I will use.

 

I have been dying to use some Pom Pom trim for the longest time...so this was the perfect opportunity! To bring the look together I added White Liquid Applique and Stickles glitter glue on the cupcake to add texture and dimension. I stitched the around card using my sewing machine and added a cute crochet pink flower with a button and scrapper's floss as the final touch. By way, that cute crochet flower was a gifty from my friend, Candi Dierenfield and just added the button on top (sweet, ah?) I love it!

 

 

I hope these cute cards inspire you and bring you lots of joy! Happy Inky Fingers!
Love,
