Treats So Sweet SQSC 12

Is anyone else getting hungry for all the great treats we have during this time of year?  I love to cook for other people and this is the perfect opportunity to go all out.  Kind of like having a potluck except I get to make all the food and my excuse is that we HAVE to have this much variety for the holidays. So my card for the SQSC Design Team has a baking theme. Enjoy and I hope you will be inspired to join in and make your own Holiday card for us to see. The sketch challenge is fun and sure to spark some creative ideas.

Sweet Sunday Sketch 62

 

This Sunday's Sweet Sketch conjured up images of a sweet cupcake using SU's Round Tab punch (#108340), Trio Flower punch(#109183 and the FREE Sale a bration Scallop Trim Border Punch (#118402).  I was surprised how easy it was to punch a border on a very thin strip of paper.  The guides work perfectly and it punches "like butter".  I haven't seen this use yet of the Tab punch and have been so impressed with everyone's punch ideas that I was sure I could not come up with one of my own.  Hope it is a first as I am so proud of this cupcake image:) The sentiment is from Crazy for Cupcakes (#111618) and the icing was first textured in SU's Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder (#117335) on Shimmer Paper.  The DP is Cottage Wall (#115671) and Certainly Celery(#112154).

Pink and Red Cupcake

I love this image by Stampin' Up!  Who doesn't love a cupcake?!  While I am not an icing fan (yeah...I go straight for the cake), this icing looks good enough to eat ;)
