Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes, and MORE!

Long story. Remember the cupcake turtle card? For a recent Impression Obsession DT challenge we were asked to think 'outside the box' and the cupcake top to the left became a turtle shell. The solid top has also found itself on an ice cream cone.

My teammates were so tickled with the cupcake turtle that one of them challenged me to see what else I could come up with using the adorable Create-a-Cupcake set from Impression Obsession, designed by Tami Potter. Sooooooo..... during the month of October, check in each Thursday for a new cupcake creation! The wheels are already turning...and several times I have cracked myself up...

Thanks for stopping by!

A butterfly with cupcake tops, now that is really out of the box thinking. Love it. Love your blog and read all the time just never leave a comment, guess that makes me a lurker!!

Lee Tucker said...

I love all of your stuff & am not surprised by your gorgeous creations with this awesome cupcake set! Don't know if you've ever heard of Bob's Big Boy restaraunts, but that swirly top reminds me of Bob's hair. That same top would be great on top of the base & using the curly ques as a handle to make a cute latte'. That other solid top would make an adorable moustache! I must stop now before this keeps me up all night thinking of other things to make! Just when I think I can get by without buying another stamp set, you guys come up w/these ideas to keep us coming back for more!

Debbie G said...

I would love to win this set. Not only are we all fans of cupcakes - I have two adorable grandsons - one that will be one year old in November and one that is 8 weeks old tomorrow - with a third grandchild due in March. I see lots of opportunities to use these in upcoming cards, scrapbooks, art projects, you name it. Thanks for being so creative.

JoAnn said...

Thank You for the chance to win this sheet of stamps. Also for all the ideas one can do with it once we get it. It could be the top of a gingerbread house. You would want to set the view right, but it looks like the iceing comming off the roof.

Angelica said...

I love this website, so much inspiration, can't wait to see how my daughter's 5th birthday pictures come out. with the cupcake template.

Hi! I am sorry to hear about your friend with her untreatable illness. May she find comfort in God's Love and Grace. I am sure, with friend's support and prayers, her difficult journey will be more bearable. I am new to Tammi Potter's Stamp Collections. I have really enjoyed your blog site. I love the different variations you have created to keep yourself from being limited to only the original ideas. Thank you for sharing.

Anyway, if I don't get to know you here, I'll see you when we get There!
