Thanks for hopping with the Color Fusers today where I am sharing all things arches with the Arched Wishes stamp set and the Everyday Arches dies. These two products coordinate beautifully together, and offer a unique element of curves to your project.
Today’s color challenge is bright and cheery. It spoke birthday to me – so I grabbed a set I had not yet inked up, and created this fun project.
The Arched Wishes stamp set is simple yet fun. I love the bold line art, allowing the option to creatively color the images. I used Stampin’ Blends, and a little ink blending; however, you could color these images however you choose.
A staple in my craft room, the Everyday Arches dies have been getting a workout. It was easy to reach for them this month and make a cute birthday card. I love how the sentiments pair with the curve of the arch, to create a unique element on any project. And the die set includes so many different sizes.
I decided to keep this card really simple by using minimal coloring. The cupcake wrapper is colored with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers and Wink of Stella. The cupcake frosting has Wink of Stella accents that sadly don’t show up in the photo. I blended some Pretty in Pink ink in the background to help the cupcake image pop. The simplicity was elevated by adding Basic Rhinestones.
To Create this Project
4-1/4″ x 11″ Thick Basic White Cardstock for the base
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White to die cut arch
3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ Basic White for stamping
Stamp streamers on card front in Pretty in Pink, Granny Apple Green, and Fresh Freesia ink. Stamp cupcake and candle glare image in Versamark ink on Basic White cardstock. Add black embossing powder and heat. Color cupcake wrapper with Light and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker. Color candle with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker. Use Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to blend color on cupcake wrapper and add accents to frosting. Fussy cut cupcake, and die cut glare image with the smallest Stylish Shapes circle.
Die cut the largest Everyday Arches die. Blend a small amount of Pretty in Pink ink in center. Stamp sentiment and heat emboss with black embossing powder. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add cupcake and glare with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Rhinestones as desired.
Thank You

Mel’s Top 3 Picks
With so many good things to choose from, you can’t go wrong. But I am sharing my top picks with you!
Overall Favorite Item: 2025-2027 In Color Collection
Always a favorite, because who doesn’t love new colors?! Color sets the tone for every project, and this collection is stunning. It may be my favorite collection to date, actually! And if you love color like I do, you will want to join myIn Color Club!
New colors: Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Darling Duckling, and a returning favorite, Strawberry Slush
A note about the Cloud Cover ink pad: Cloud Cover ink is reacting with the foam used as the base of our ink pads, making the color ‘shift’ and change color. As a result, the ink pad will have a limited release to demonstrators only, but not be available to customers. In it’s place, you can choose an uninked Stampin’ Spot and Cloud Cover Ink Refill to create your own mini ink pad, or choose the Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1.
This bundle is actually all dies, and I love the oversized elements to create beyond cards! Think banners, gifts, books – be creative!
