ED- and may I just give a shout out while I remember!! We have Belinda (Happy Birthday chickie!) to thank for the fact that our doilies match a Spellbinders die set!!! I believe she first suggested it!!
And just what is a cupcake without....Icing (that's frosting in USA I believe...)??? Today's cupcakes feature icing - two types!!! One type - the blue type, is included in the template - the other pink gingham frosting is very easily made if you have the benefit of owning the Spellbinders Holiday Ornament die - towards the end of this post are a few pointers.
Before I forget, here are the ladies - have you been loving their samples as much as me???

- Belinda Chang Langner

And before I double forget - scroll down to yesterdays post to comment for a chance of winning the May release!! That's 5 new sets!!!
AND - if you haven't seen details of the HUGE birthday competition challenge - see this post!!
Any self respecting cupcake needs a doily to sit on and so I have created two co-ordinating doilies with another of our new stamp sets - Dainty Doilies large.
We have two new Doily sets releasing on May 1st, which is only one sleep away!! I guess you can tell that I like doilies since I made two sets...
One set is a large stamp set and contains gorgeous doily inspired stamps that you won't have seen the like of anywhere else!! This is the easy set - the set you need if you just want to stamp and go...The smaller set is for those hardy individuals who don't mind spending a little time lining things up...lol - that would be me - I LOVE to footer!! But, I realise not everyone does and hence the two sets...
In the large set a couple of the doilies are designed so that they may be trimmed out with dies from the Spellbinders set - Big Scalloped Circles large - lots of you folks may already have these.
Below is a pic of the basic cuppie shape, I only sponged the bits that were going to show after I dressed it up with a wrap and some icing! You can see how the lid comes off so's you can stuff goodies inside - adding frosting provides a handy 'handle' to get the lid off!
I trimmed out 8 of the ornament die shapes (second from largest), stacked them together and trimmed off the bottom sections. The pieces were then scored down the centre, stamped and glued together, back to back to get a cupcake frosting shape.
Hope it tickles!!

Oooh, yes indeed, I am tickled pink! What fun these new stamps will be!
Claire you are utterly amazing. I have resisted any kind of cupcake die, stamp etc as my daughter is getting slightly beyond that stage, but this I have to have, it is so different and interesting - well, I guess that is my definition of Waltzingmouse.
What SWEET treats Claire! Lovin' all the gingham and pretty doilies!
ooooo these are just so cute and yummy, what creative ideas you have :)
Loving the new gingham stamps and cupcakes....guess my pocket will be getting raided very soon.
Hi Claire
Your cupcakes are very pretty, I love both the colours and the way you made them. The "icing" looks great - too bad that I don't have the Spellbinder dies. But it's good that you have 2 sets.
The doilies also look great - but I only have the small scalloped circles, so I would have to do the cutting by hand...
I also very much like what you showed us yesterday. The little cup with the corresponding card as well as the CAS cards are just lovely.
Kind regards
Carola
Love them, the top one reminds me of an Iced Gem (gotta love them!). Such inspiration, thank you :)
WOW!! SO cool!!!
Oh wow, adore how you used the ornament dies... too cute. Amazing creations again today Claire. Hope you have a great weekend. Off to hop!
Wonderful creations as usual....and no calories!!
Amazing! and yummy! I am in awe Claire!!
Very yum!
The icing is adorable - thanks for the great tutorial! but my oh my Claire - I have patiently waited for doilie designs from you and you have exceeded my dreams. THese will be the first sets in my cart! LOL
Another fan here to declare your brilliance, Claire! How did you ever think to cut those ornaments to make such fabulous frosting tufts?! Absolutely adorable, I cannot even wait to have these sets and that template in my hot little hands! The doilies you made are SO FABULOUS!
It's the ultimate in cuteness! Thank you for making your doilies Spellbinder compatible!
Now I am seriously over the moon with the doilies - and so thankful that you used the scalloped circle. Perfection!
Claire, the doilies are great but the cupckaes!!! WOW. I love how you think outside the box. I'm so glad I have those spellbinders too!
Yep it's FROSTING! LOVE IT! They look good enough to eat!! Must have taken HOURS to put this together, but really worth the effort - just beautiful Claire! These would look so nice as a centerpiece for the tea party - or ANY party for that matter.
Hi Claire! Have I said you are a genius lately? You totally are! LOVE it! Love your US translations as well... we call it both icing and frosting.
those cupcakeds look so yummy and the doilies are a perfect touch.
Wow! You blow me away with all the cuppie cuteness! LOVE it!
You are too clever dear girl! MUST HAVE! I call it icing and frosting. Maybe it depends on which side of the Mississippi you're from! lol
Hugs,
Lisa
Claire these are soooo cute!!! They would make fabulous party favors!
Nothing like a great looking icing for the cuppies!!! Your doilies are wonderful!!!!
Oh my gosh Claire! Love the icing on the cakes and the pretty doilies beneath - I can't wait to get my hands on this cupcake template!!!!
Cupcakes have gained national favor and new cupcake stores are popping up everywhere. I MUST have the template for the cuppies, as well as the new doilies. These will be perfect for showcasing some store-bought cupcakes. Definitely a win-win combo: I HATE to cook and LOVE to paper-craft.
CLAIRE... CLAIRE...I cant breath.. LOL! Oh my Oh my! I sorry for the shouting and shortness of breathe.. these are FABULOUS! I can NOT wait to have the cupcakes.. AND doily's in my home!! Living with me.. :) FABULOUS.. just FABULOUS! off to look at what the other TALENTED girls have shared with us! :) Have a GREAT day!

No words could come close to describing how amazing you are Claire! You are a creative genius!! Not only are your cupcakes over-the-top fabulous, but the toppers you created are exquisite!! I'm in awe of your paper skills!!!!!!
Everything is just awesome, but that little cherry on top? *LOVE* These are the things that show how brilliant you are, and why I am constantly in awe of your creative talents!
Absolutely adorable!! I love the little frosted cupcakes!

Fantastic cupcakes, Claire! Love the gingham icing - what a brilliant idea to use the ornaments. And the doilies look divine. The fact that you can use Spellbinders (which I have) to trim them out leaves me giddy.
Laurie
