On Saturday, (June 12, 2010), a winner will be chosen FOR EACH DAY from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for that day! (4 different winners, one winner for each day.) (THAT MEANS IF YOU MISSED A DAY, YOU STILL HAVE OTHER CHANCES TO WIN! And, you can go back and comment, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning!)

The 4 Winners will be announced on the Mark's Finest Papers Blog on June 12, 2010. Each winner will receive 1 Stamp Set that will be released NEXT month!

Today, we are featuring the new "Cupcake Birthday" set.

For my card, I decided to go with a "vintage 50's homespun" feel.  When I saw this cherry paper from Graphic 45, I knew I had to pair it with the large cupcake stamp.  The other papers used are Ripened Tomato and Spring Grass from Mark's Finest Papers.  I stamped the cupcake, colored it with Copic markers, then went over it with a Warm Gray 1 Copic marker to give it a slightly more subdued look.  I used a Martha Stewart doily border which is also reminiscent of the 50's feel.  To complete the card, I added gingham ribbons and a plastic cherry from Mary Engelbreit.   


Here's another way you can use this stamp set.  I recently made this decorated gift tin, which could be used for a small gift or gift card.
