What I did was use the Reflections Scrapbook Program and condensed the 12x12 layout suggestions to 5x5 (which is the size of the cube) and Vwala!! You have covered each side of the cube. The papers I am using is Emporium. The colors are Sweet Leaf, Vineyard Berry, Cocoa and Crystal Blue. I love to distress...so everything is either sanded or inked. I debated on using the holes for eyelets....and I went for it. I secured the box with liquid glass. I used several stamp sets.

Workshop Weekend - 12 cards for $15.00


Cards 1-4. When you start working on the cards, you think....I can do this. This is great, this is fun....wait until you reach cards 9 & 10 and you start to think...I am so over cupcakes. LOL This workshop takes about 3-4 hours. It depends on your stamping speed and how much you goof off! But that is the best part....creating, having fun, and learning stamping techniques.















These are cards 5-8. I love the scallop stamp that came in the Cupcake Sprinkles stamp set!!! For one of the cupcake toppers I used Liquid Applique. It looks like real frosting.

I had each of my girls cut out their 12x12 B&T page. Everything else was cut. All of these cards are templates from the Originals "how-to" book from Close To My Heart.


.....are we done, yet?











These are cards 9 - 12.....I used a dry embossing technique on the cupcake wrapper and then sponged it in Tulip ink. It turned out really cute! On the cupcake topper I painted the top and then used paper to add my sprinkles. Don't they look yummy!!!

Whew! The workshop is complete.

Everyone went home with 12 completed cards. Now they will have birthday cards on hand.....

For my next workshop we will work with the My Creations Cube. This is scheduled for the last weekend in February.

I look forward to seeing you then
