I've been getting a lot of emails asking how I made the coffee cup so I thought I'd post this card with some more detail. The steam is the Swirl from the Season of Joy stamp set. I stamped it in versamark on Crumb Cake card stock then embossed it. The cup is the bottom of the Cupcake sizzlet. I added a couple of dimensionals in the centre and stuck the outside edges directly to the background. To make the handle I punched the hole with the small oval in Soft Suede then used the large oval around it. The donut is a large oval punched from Soft Suede and a large oval from Pretty in Pink. Use the Scallop Oval Punch to scallop the edge.
*Tip** When working with small pieces, stick the card stock onto a sticky note so you have something to hold onto when you punch.
Use the oval cut out as a template to sponge some Melon Mambo ink on the centre of your donut. Apply some crystal effects and micro beads to look like sugar.
Well, dang, Jackie. I'd talked myself out of having to get the cupcake dies. You're BAD for my BUDGET! :D
