Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Cupcake

Featured ~ Christina

Can you believe I never seem to have enough birthday cards? Well, not the right card for the right person anyway. So, I’m sharing another birthday card today, this time using some of the newer Pretty Pink Posh goodies, including this luscious Big Valentine Cupcake that I got all dressed up for a birthday bash. I used the Half Stars Stencil for the cupcake liner and then topped my cupcake with glitter and sprinkles. And, you can’t have a birthday without balloons, so I added some of the new Party Balloons and put everything on a raised, stenciled Birthday Words background that I heat embossed with a fun sparkly gold. The Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp Set has so many, seriuosly, sooo many good sentiments that it was hard to choose just one. So I chose three. They’re small enough that you can tuck them in anywhere without taking away from the star of this show – that Big Valentine (birthday) Cupcake.
