First I would like to say a big Thank You to everyone who left such lovely and encouraging comments welcoming me back.
We've just arrived home after a lovely few days away with friends in Essex which included a 40th Birthday BBQ party. I managed to keep my eating and drinking to a sensible level so fingers crossed that I get good results from my fasting blood test tomorrow morning.
I've spent the past three weeks sorting out my craft cabin and have now reached the pointy end!
I found this basic card which was cut out several years ago using a Wendy Stenton stencil so decided to finish it off using various bits and pieces that I wanted to use up.
I used a background scrap stamped with the Hero Arts envelope stamp and pieces of white card for the cake frosting and candle which is a stamp by Wendy too.
The paper on the base of the cupcake is an old snippet of Papermania paper and the peeloff sentiment and embellishments came to light during my sort- out.
I'm taking this over to play with the girls in Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 239

Great card Barb! Perfect for a Birthday and isn't it great that cupcakes have come back into 'vogue'. So long as they're the stamped/paper kind it's allowed!
Hugs

Amazing just what does come to light when we start to have a tidy up in our craft rooms! It does give you a good feeling though when you actually make a pretty card like this one using up some of the long forgotten bits and pieces.

Hi Barb,
congrats on your being good at the BBQ.
This card is so very lovely, and I love the fab cupcake it's making me hungry.
I well remember Wendy's templates, and think I have a few in a folder.
I used her star card design for my Step Daughter's wedding card over 9 years ago, but it was bfore I used to photograph my cards.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hello, Barb! Way to go on organizing your craft space - I need to do this again myself! Your card is adorable! I love the cupcake, and this looks like a fancy fold too!
Oh this is really clever, what a great idea. I usually craft in a real mess but i love when it's all tidy and I can find things.
Lovely card Barb, I remember the Wendy Stenton stencils, they make great cards! Cupcakes are everyone's favourites!
