{A cupcake Birthday} September Diva Inspiration Hop


Hi everyone!!

welcome to our September Inspiration Blog Hop. This months theme: 
Sweet September
Sugar-high! Get sugary sweet with pastels, cupcakes or candy. Create a calorie free confection to delight the senses!

I went a bit more clean and simple with my card this month: using the Verve Carpe Cupcake stamp set and the sentiment from the Borderline set. I embossed the brown strips with a polka dot embossing folder - it's a little hard to see in the picture but it goes along great with the polka dot ribbon. :)
