Happy Birthday with a Cherry On Top

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 568 - Anything Plaid. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 577. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 567 - a Strawberry Macaroon Espresso please. The cupcake is for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 361 - Sweet Treats.
We have 3 granddaughters with birthdays in February so one of them get's this sweet treat to start with. I drew extra lines on the cupcake bottom and colored with copics. I stamped, colored, then cut out the icing and cherry and popped them up on dimensionals. There are 3 layers of dimensions on this sweet treat. I found some plaid dp and decided to use it as well. I used some dark brown ribbon for the espresso color part.
Hope you like it and I hope my baby does too.

I stamped the cherries randomly and then the sentiment on the front, inside, and envelope all in strawberry slush.

Make A Wish at the Beach

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE - Under a Soft Sky our Blushing Bride eats Crumb Cake, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 531 - Stencil this or Stencil that, Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 322 - Cupcakes, and my layout is from last Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 537. Well not sure this is very simple but not difficult either since I had the dies already cut out. The longest time taken was cleaning up after getting dazzling diamonds everywhere. LOL . I popped the focal panel up and then popped the cupcake up so that it was sitting in the chair. Can you tell my family is a beach loving family? Well we are. This will go to my niece later this year for her birthday. Hope she likes it.
