Hey There Cupcake Card

Hi there, today’s card is a cupcake birthday card. In my opinion you can never have too many birthday cards! This card, is made with the April My Favorite Things card kit, (which is no longer available, but the individual items are linked), two My Favorite Things paper pads and an additional die-namic that was a gift with purchase.  These are usually available for purchase in the following month.

This card kit came with dies and special pouches to make shaker cards. The center panel is from Party Patterns paper pad and the plaid is from Sweet Celebrations paper pad. I die cut the cupcake bottom in the included kit card stock land inked with purple ink.  After I Decided which pattern papers I was going to use I placed the cupcake shaker pouch where I wanted it to be on the card and then die cut that out of Party Patterns paper.  I assembled the shaker by adding sequins and gems that I had on in my stash, I then attached the die cut pink cupcake topper with tape. When it came time to attach the shaker pouch firmly to the card back, I added two one inch strips using Sweet Celebrations pattern paper and decided it needed just a little bit more. So I cut two very thin strips of shiny silver paper to add as accents.

Then using the Hey There Cupcake die-namic, I cut out of the included bright pink card stock from the kit. Cupcake has two additional layers of white card stock that are then glued together and topped with the pink for dimension. I did something a little different with the hey there die-namic, after running through the die cut machine the letters were still in place. I turned the scrap with letters still in place over and used a dot runner over the letters.. I then flipped it over and placed it on the card front and using a craft pick I pressed the letters down while removing the excess. This way I got perfect alignment with the letters.

Have a great day and keep on crafting!  It’s keeping me sane now!
