15 Minute Project ... and a "Pierce It!" Blog Challenge Entry

Today's "15 Minute Project" was created for Sharon's "Pierce It!" blog challenge ... and for my birthday card stash; I've got tons of birthday's coming up in the next few weeks!

The cupcake image was die-cut using scraps of card stock, triple matted on larger scraps. The white textured background was created using a Fiskars Texture plate in the Cuttlebug.*

I pierced holes around the perimeter of the card and cross-stitched with pink floss in each corner.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment on a scrap and cut it out with a Word Window punch. I added some bling to the cupcake and mounted it on my card using dimensionals.

Easy-peasy and ready to serve in just 15 Minutes!
