Cupcake in a Box
One of my fabulous friends will be celebrating her birthday next week. However, she’ll be out of town on business, so I decided to put her gift together a little early. My box is based on a tutorial by Jody Morrow and utilizes digital stamps cupcake stamps from Sweet Stuff and Love Grows Here sets by Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I really love Lindsay’s cupcake stamps!
The box is glittered CS from DCWV and the DP on the lid is from my stash – a pad of 8×8 The Angel Company paper. Donna is a big fan of purple, so unlike Jody’s box, I opted to leave the purple square intact rather than using acetate and create a window. I used another piece of DP from the same pad to create the liner/cupcake holder inside the box.
The cupcakes were printed using Photoshop and my HP printer on Georgia Pacific CS at 70% size. I colored them with Copics and then cut them out. After adhering to my box lid, I added Smooch to the sprinkles and stickles to the candy heart toppings.
That’s the entire ensemble. The card is from last week’s post. Be sure to visit Lindsay’s blog as she’s always got a fabulous treat and the links to the other DT posts – and while you’re hopping, leave the rest of the ladies some love! Hey work hard to create stunning and inspirational projects. ![]()
That’s all from me – have a fabulous Thursday!
