My card for today features the brand new Big Celebration Cupcake Dies set - the latest in the Cupcake Collection!! I also used lots of other favorite PPP supplies and went with a 4th of July theme! The way this year is going, the 4th is going to be here fast!! My finished card is an A2 card base, covered in blue gingham and then an eyelet panel and an ink blended panel.
Here's a side view of my card so you can see all the parts, and layers! I love those little firecrackers! So fun!! I used the numbers from the Graduation set (supplies are at the bottom of my post) to make 1776 in red to accompany the 4th of July banner. I love the blue gingham combined with red, gold and white. Really festive!
I ink blended the top part of the panel using yellow oxide inks and then stamped on some fireworks for a nice background. I added lots of blue gems for sparkle! And there's glitter glue on the cupcake too! (I love sparkle!)

Those fireworks are SO fun! Easy to make and layer and pop into your cupcake. I love how PPP left slits in the cupcake top so you can tuck items into the frosting - such a great idea.
Lots of gold stars to finish off the accents for this card!!
Well, if this new release doesn't put you in the mood for celebrating Summer, I don't know what will! LOLZ. That's it for my project for today!! It's so fun being part of this great blog hop!!

Adorable card Wanda! Thanks.

These are gorgeous! Thanks for a view of the PPP release that is non-baby-related. I like the baby stuff and I am coming into the age when my friends are having first grands (or other grands) but I don't make a lot of baby cards. This is a stunning card, Wanda!
