Birthday Muffins

Thank you so much for your kind words with regards to my PC crash. Still a long way to go for my data entry work, but no worries, I'll get there. I've finally accepted the fact that there's nothing much I could do about the crash... which of course turn my mood to a happy one to craft!

It's my MIL's birthday tomorrow, but because 2 of the family members are down with chicken pox, we couldn't have a family dinner together. She loves my rum raisin muffins, unfortunately I don't make them often enough (I'm a bad bad DIL). So I thought I'd bake her some for her birthday :)

[Recipe HERE. Just replace the Oreos with approximately one cup of raisins soaked in rum]

And then I got a plain cake box from the local bake shop and decorated it with washi tape! I really like how it looks, especially the corners where I created pleats using the washi tape to follow the rounded corner :)

Can you see the pleated corners?

And since I didn't make her a card, I created a tag to go with the cake box. I used the same washi tape to create a matching tag and added a lace trim. The cupcake stamp was given to me by Sandy, thank you so much! I coloured it with some pigment ink markers and added finishing touch with some glitter pens. (Unfortunately it's not obvious in the photo)

Supplies: Patterned paper, mt Washi tapes, American Crafts Lace trimming, Cricut Tags and Boxes cartridge, Imaginisce sentiment stamp, g studio cupcake stamp, Versafine black inkpad, Zig Coloured markers

Voilà the muffins in the decorated cake box and wrapped with a gold organza ribbon

I'm submitting the tag to ABC challenge - S is for Sugar and Spice

Thanks for dropping by and hope you'll have a beautiful weekend!
