Oh my! Some serious partying going on at Papertrey Ink this month and I'm loving every little bit of goodness! Today's group post uses some of the playful and oh, so creative new products that will be available on June 15th.
First up, my card uses the new Enclosed: Cupcake stamps and dies. I love being able to mix and match my colors and patterns for the cupcake itself, the outline, and then the wrapper. This set of dies and stamps are so hard to put away!
I stamped my cupcake wrapper with the Enclosed: Cupcake stamp, and then added a bit of stamping in the background using the fun new Hooray stamp set...love this as well. The flower at the top of my cupcake was cut from Vintage Cream felt using the Pencil Blooms die.
My coordinating party hat was so much fun to create. I couldn't wait to dive in and use the amazing new Party Hat Trims to embellish.
I chose to use the fringe die and love how it turned out. I used crepe paper, folded in half. So with each die cut I made, I was actually getting two cuts and then I doubled it again, so you'll notice a nice, full trim across the bottom of my hat because it is actually 4 layers.
I then stitched down the center of my 4 layers, and started scrunching and crinkling the crepe paper. So easy and fun!
I used the circular trim die using the same technique and topped it with a paper rosette and Vintage Sweet Treats Flair button.
Lastly, I used the new Cupcake Box die to create a wrapper for a cupcake, muffin, or any number of sweet treats.
I wanted a translucent look so I cut my box from vellum and added die cut Tremendous Tags to coordinate with my party hat and card. I then used the tag die from the Ahoy die collection and stamped it using the "enjoy" from the Enclosed: Cupcake stamp set.
There's so much to love this month and celebrating special occasions with handmade gifts is always a welcome treat. Be sure to follow the links below to see more birthday inspiration.

Fabulous ensemble, Melissa! I knew your cupcake box was going to be special--LOVE it cut from the star vellum, how you tied it in with the card by using the music paper on the tag and of course the layered flowers! I also LOVE the streamers and polka dots for the card! The fringed crepe paper/lace for the edge of the hat is so sweet! You guys are killing me this month--trying to decide what to get.
