Inkspirational #302 - In the Mood for Cupcakes

 Inkspirational Challenge #302 has just been posted over at the blog.  It's a festive holiday Mood Board!

I was inspired by those delicious red velvet cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting and berries on top, as well as the greenery around them.
I got to use some recently purchased dies as well as a stamp/die set I've had for some time but hadn't used yet!  Win/Win!

The cupcakes are made using the Hey Cupcake Die.  The framing was made using Ornament Box Top - Vertical Stamp and Ornament Box Top -Vertical Die, all from the Greetery.  
 
In the close up below you hopefully can see the glitter I put on the frosting.
I die cut the cup cake holders out of vellum.  
The strawberries and box frame are up on foam dots and strips.

So what are you inspired by from this lovely Mood Board?  
Check out the Inkspirational Blog to see the beautiful designs the rest of the DT created and to link up your own creation!

Great idea to turn the ornament box into a treat box, Julia - those cupcakes look delicious and I love the background of pines and berries too!!

What a fabulous card Julia those cupcakes are absolutely scrumptious and look so pretty inside that gorgeous box. The glitter as frosting is a perfect touch and they look good enough to eat. Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog and also for playing along with our red challenge at Colorful options.
