happy birthday {stud muffin}

I've always gotten a kick out of the 'stud muffin' reference and finally got a chance to express it in paper. This one's for my 'stud muffin' nephew, Jens, who turned 17 last week.

Yep...he's a stud (muffin).

I started with a Silhouette Cupcake Card Kit and eliminated the cherry-on-top thereby transforming the cupcake into muffin. That's legal, right?! Before assembling the cupcake envelope, I ran it through the Big Shot with my Die-namics High-Rise Alphabet Lowercase letters to spell out 'stud' on the front. I added a layer of turquoise cardstock behind the negative space to add a punch of color and then stamped 100% from LLD Document It - Off the Chart and a double circle stamp from DC Lollipop Additions - Love.

Here's a view of my little 'stud muffin' all in one piece. I added a glassine bag 'liner' inside the envelope and baker's twine around the outside. Isn't he cute?!

The 'muffin' insert is simply stamped with a birthday sentiment from DC Just My  Type...love the simplicity!

I have a couple more stud muffin in my family with upcoming birthdays, so I'd better get back in my studio and bake up another batch of these cuties!
