The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Big Cupcake"
 

Colored both with various types of markers. I worked around the 10" of ribbon that I swapped for!
 I cut up a strip of printed paper for the top stripe. I like the sentiment! This way I can stamp whatever I want on the inside! Both cards can be for almost any occasion except sympathy cards.
Good Luck!
