I REALLY LOVE playing with the create a cupcake stamp set and coordinating punch!!!! It is so much fun to use the stamp and then punch, but sometimes I like to use dsp for the icing too!  I wanted to bling up the card for my special friend so I used our WONDERFUL glimmer paper.  After using the Marker technique for the WISH BIG stamp I punched out the Decorative label then also puched out 2 more in the glimmer paper and offset them to each side.  The punched out wish big is 3D because I used those great dimensionals underneath!!!
Hope you enjoyed this card!

Love You Tree

Here is another card using the tree stamp...

You will use the marker technique to color the stamp.  I love adding bling to a card, it just brightens it up in my opinion!  After you punch out the oval, you will use the dimensionals behind it to give it a little 3D look!
Have a great day ... turn in tomorrow for another Valentine's day card.
