Finally Friday – Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake
Happy Friday!
For this week’s card, I just had to use some of BasicGrey’s new Nook & Pantry collection! I’ve been eagerly waiting for this collection to come out since it debuted at CHA this summer. SO cute! For the card, I used the Cake stamp set (Hello? Build your own cupcake? I’m there!) and some of the papers from the collection pack. Super fun! (see more of Nook & Pantry here)
Oh, and before I forget… I have NO idea how I got that bow to look that good! One of life’s great mysteries, I guess! LOL! Usually my bows are passable, but this one cooperated beyond what I could expect. Hmm… I wonder what I did…
Anyhow, enjoy!
CHALLENGE: Use the card sketch found on this week’s Finally Friday page to create a card of your own. Upload your card to the TwoPeas gallery, select this week’s Finally Friday video, and your card will appear at the bottom of the page! :)

October 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 amcute cupcake card!!!! I want to know how you store all your 12×12 paper!!! Well, all your paper for that matter. I am in need of new storage system for my paper!! I just got my own craft room two days ago after moving some things around in my basement!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 amOMG! What an adorable card!!! SO very cute! Absolutely love your videos!
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:03 amLove the card and sentiment even more! Just received my Keep Calm and Carry On poster from overseas:) And to answer a previou post-I like this video format the best as opposed to the type that you voiceover. Of course do the way that is easier. Thanks for sharing your creatity!
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:07 amGorgeous card!!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 amI cant wait to play with my stuff. I got them yesterday.
Hugs :)
Gorgeous paper! I have to say, when I saw your bow, I was like “That is an insanely perfect bow.” Then you said, “I think that’s my most perfect bow ever.” It was rather funny, as I was sitting alone, talking to the computer.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 amAdorable card! Thank you for sharing! :)
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:24 amLove that BG paper and that stamp set is wonderful!!!! I think I better go lie down as I need to be a bit calmer… or should I go eat a cupcake???? Jo x
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:39 amThat was so funny. When you were saying how cute, I was saying how cute. Obviously, it was very cute. Thanks for sharing.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:47 amsuper duper cute. I have to have that stamp set!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:02 amThe elements went together beautifully – such an adorable card. And I believe you’re right, it’s the best bow ever :-)
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:27 amCute card! I really like the cupcake stamp set!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:27 amI love this card. Its simple and cute!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:49 amHi, Thanks for taking the time to make a video to share with us. SWEET card creation. Luv it. Now I’m wanting that stamp set.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:53 amAwesome card, Kristina!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:57 amWas this the perfect fit for you or what? After all, YOU ARE the “cupcake queen!” Listening to you squeal while you were stamping the cupcake was hysterical. I’ve never looked at cupkcakes quite the same after I found out about your obsession with them. Good for you!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:15 amI love all things Basic Grey; they just keep outdoing themselves!! Thanks for the card, and have a great weekend! :)
Love, love, love this card! I love that paper! It’s funny, because I, too, was thinking what a perfect bow that was before I started the video! LOL. Too funny.
Thanks for sharing with us!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 amOMG, love that sentiment. Too cute! I was a little on the fence about BG’s Nook and Pantry, but it’s obviously a must have!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:25 amA real perfect bow! I thought that just before you said it!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:38 amLovely card. Great paper.
Eveline.
Bravo, bravo, bravo !!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:39 amJ’adore cette carte: les papiers, tampons, couleurs, mise en page et joli noeud !
Waouhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
super sweet card! right at the moment i thought to myself “what a perfect little bow” you said it out loud … funny! :)
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 amAren’t you in a good mood! Super cute card, I love cupcakes too!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:03 pmThis card is good enough to eat…bet this stamp set sells out today! Thanks Kristina. How I do love your creations!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:16 pmYep, the stamp set is sold out! Just too cute to build your own! And that IS one awesome bow….
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:23 pmWow! That perfect bow!
Stamp set is soooo cute…
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 pmu r to cute
luv the card
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:39 pmOMG! This card is so cute it almost made my brain explode! That stamp set is ALREADY sold out!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:41 pmWell, isn’t that just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!
Now that I know what my next 2 peas purchase is going to be (I’m still loving my BG Indian Summer). I have a question for you: When you buy the paper packs like that do you use the 12×12 patterned sheets just for cards or do you do layouts etc as well. I love pattern paper; but sometimes I cringe when I have to cut up a whole sheet for just a square or two for a card front.
Just curious. Have a great weekend!
I feel the same way about cutting into my gorgeous 12×12 papers just for a tiny piece for a card. LOL
love this card. it could be one of my all time favorites! I am going to have to put that stamp set(s) on my Christmas list! Thanks for sharing!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:43 pmLove the card – and love your enthusiasm for both paper and cupcakes! Must be time for a coffee?
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:35 pmGreat card, I love this stamp set I have been trying to find a great cupcake stamp here in Australia and know I just found it. Can we see the unedited version of you tying that bow??? I have a picture/text tutorial on tying bows but can only sometimes follow it… to see you do it in real time would be really handy to alot of us… Have a great weekend
I tied it same way I always do (like in this video). For some reason, this time it worked out better than other… I’m still baffled! I have no idea how I did it! :)
Thanks so much :)
Delightful!! oh my word–that is one cute little ditty! And I am so glad you shrieked after stamping those cupcakes parts, bc I did yelped the same thing (@ my inanimate computer screen) after you stamped them! LOL too funny! :)
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:05 pmUmm, pretty sure that stamp set just entered my NEED list :) Great job, especially the bow!
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:22 pmI love it, love it, love it! Your signature style is faux stitching & rounded corners…those little details make a big difference!
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:50 pmWhat is it about you, Kristina? It’s like you have the Midas touch. You touch it – it turns to gold. I mean seriously, I can’t wait to have my hands on those clear cupcake stamps.
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:01 pmnice card ans these stamps are so nice !
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:06 pmOne of the first things I noticed was the bow ~ it’s positively perfect! I can’t tie one to save my life, so you had me from the bow :)
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 pmWonderful card and love the cupcake and the way you did presented it. The bow is awesome, I always end up with a glob of ribbon in the center but your’s came out great. Wonderful card as always.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:28 pmYour so cute Kristina! So fun to hear you say “that is sooo cute”.
I think sometimes when it comes to the perfect bow is the type of ribbon. I know that when I use a good satin ribbon, I usually end up with “the perfect” bow.
That BG paper is soooooo cute!! Luv it!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:05 pmThis is TOOOOOOO cute Kristina!! Now you have made this set of paper and stamp “must haves!!!!” Thanks for sharing!
October 24th, 2009 at 1:53 amThis is the cutest card!! Must get this stamp set. Thanks so much. Love how you design cards.

October 24th, 2009 at 8:23 amIt’s all your fault….I’m blaming you for creating such a beautiful card then the glee in your voice just made me go right out and buy that stamp set!!! Looks fantastic! TFS…you are amazing and fun too……
October 24th, 2009 at 8:55 amBeautiful card! love the perfect bow!!!
October 24th, 2009 at 9:27 amI got really excited when you went to fold the bow and then we saw it done!!! would love to see how you make such beautiful bows… love the card
Thanks! I didn’t do anything out of the norm with the bow. To see me tie a bow, here’s my video on it.
Oh My Kristina!! You have inspired me to pull out my Build-A-Cupcake set already and get to stamping some supercute images!!
I love this. I’m a committed faux stitcher now too!!

October 29th, 2009 at 2:54 pmthanks for sharing
Hey Kristina,
Love the cupcake card!
I’m complaining though…. Because everytime you make a cute card like this they sell out of all the things you use at Two Peas. Maybe you should let them know in advance what to stock up on… because this happens everyitme!!! LOL
Oh And I used to love your music selections on the videos, I’d go and buy those too!
October 30th, 2009 at 7:20 pmToo bad about all those copyright laws huh!

It’s official – my 4 yr old daughter is also a fan of yours. She usually sits down on my lap to watch your card videos. But she always begs me to repeat this cupcake card whenever she catches me viewing your site. It’s her favorite! :D
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:50 pmI just loved your cupcake card! Beautiful card!
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 pmYour stitch line is absolutely perfect!
Thanks a lot for your video!
I love the card; the cupcake is too cute. I used your design for inspiration to make my own card and I finally got to use Dawn McVey’s stamp set Scattered Showers!
Thanks for the inspiration!
