Hello Cupcake - City Crafter Challenge Week 446 Cupcakes

Cupcakes for a birthday are absolutely delicious, and provides the baker with a chance to be creative as well.

The central focus of today's card is cupcakes, actually a (singular) cupcake. It is made for the challenge with City Crafter Challenge Week 446 - cupcake(s) here

I use the SAB stamp "Hello Cupcake" as well as a retired stamp set "Sprinkles of Life".  I managed to find some retired DSP in my stash that had the colours I was looking for and the theme was right.

I also had some fun using a fold I have only done once before.  I don't have a name for it so I'm open to suggestions. I will put a tutorial on how to make the fold in the next day or so.

Card Base:

On a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 Lovely Lipstick base, a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White is adhered.  This layer has 2 triangular folds of DSP attached at the top and bottom.

The triangular pieces of DSP (Tasty Treats) started as 4 by 2 1/2'" which I scored 1/2" from the bottom, and then folded the two top corners down to the score line forming a triangle.  These triangles are adhered together.  The 1/2" strip is adhered to the underside of the 4 by 5 1/4" Whisper White piece before it is adhered to the Lovely Lipstick base.  Both triangular pieces are folded up and the folds burnished well.

Art Piece:

On a stitched Whisper White square, the base of the cupcake is stamped in Pool Party.  On a separate piece of Whisper White the top of the cupcake is stamped in Mango Melody, with Early Espresso sprinkles on the top - and fussy cut.  It is added to the base using dimensionals  This square is matted with a Crumb Cake scallop square, and this is adhered to a larger square of Lovely Lipstick card stock.

The sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and is adhered to the lower part of the art piece.  A bow comprising of a double strand of linen thread is added to the upper left.

This art piece is attached to the tip of the upper DSP triangle only.

Open the card and you see an  identical scallop crumb cake square and whisper White stitched square adhered to the inside.
