Happy Birthday eP!


eP otherwise known as Eclectic Paperie is about to celebrate its 1st birthday! Joy and Daisy are friends of mine and always have the *goods* and are so great at enabling! *wink* Their service and products are impeccable and always served up with a SoCal smile! Please be sure to visit their site if you haven't had the opportunity.

Anyway, to celebrate, Taylor (tayloredexpressions) is hosting an eP challenge. You can read all about it here: A Cupcake Challenge

So, I decided to play along, how could I not? Rummaging through 100's upon 100's of stamps...I have no cupcakes. Not a one. Now I did order the exclusive cupcake set, Hey There Cupcake, made for eP by Stampendous, but it won't be here by the closing time of the challenge. So I ran down to Michaels and found a clear dollar set that had this cute little cupcake in it. PERFECT and only a buck!

Stamped 6 times, 3 on white, 3 on assorted SU! cardstocks, a bit of punching and paper piecing, Stickles, brads, and May Arts ribbon and this fun eP birthday card is ready for the eP challenge.
Finished card is 3.25" x 6.5"

Happy Birthday, Joy and Daisy and eP! May you have continued success and happiness~ Love ya!

I love the layout, different colors behind each cupcake and the brads to the side of the window punch. Lots of ideas here for me to try later! Thanks for the inspiration!
