Cards - Cupcake Birthday Card by Martha Stewart Crafts (kit) - Part 2

Hi, love this birthday card kit by Martha Stewart Crafts. It has honeycomb! I used her kit cards and jazzed them up.

This video shows how I made the cupcake card. I made the mistake of trying to stamp Versamark in the card - it doesn't work like I thought it would. Most cardstock will get darker with Versamark ink and create a 2 tone effect. The paper in this kit is white core cardstock, so the Versamark ink did not darken the paper and it stayed wet! I ended up wet embossing the ink so it would dry.

I also used the accents in the kit in clusters, instead of having them randomly on the card page. I think doing this updates the card style a bit.

Used bling and pebbles, it looks great :) Thanks for watching!

maybe when the versa mark ink was still wet you could have used a colored embossing powder instead of the clear . . .  .

@TheCatlover90 Hi Catlover90, yes that is the big question everyone asks me. But I haven't seen people make that honeycomb... yet. The Martha Stewart kit came with the honeycomb already made. All I had to do is peel. Sorry - I know I would love to be able to make that honeycomb stuff it is so cool!

Hi! Lovely card! I love the idea, and I think the Versamark did show like I was watching the video and I saw like the sparkly shape that later you follow with rinestones,I kind of like it the way it was before the rinestones I guess it works tboth ways. Anyway great idea I totally love it!
