Cupcakes and Frosting!


Today I’m sharing a Birthday card using KLM Digital DesignFloral Cupcake Assortment from the new May 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Happy Birthday Cupcake” and “Happiness is only a Cupcake away”, as well as 2 more cupcakes. This stamp set is amazing to create so many different card designs!

To make this card, I began with a 5″ x 5″ base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Doodlebug – hey cupcake designer paper was cut to 5″ x 5″ and then it was cut again to 4 x 1.25″ pieces. I applied double-sided tape and liquid glue to the individual pieces and then alternating each side adhered them each to the base card. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Picked Raspberry was then applied to all of the edges around the card using a finger dauber.

The images and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The images were coloured in with Copic markers. Using a Cuttlebug and Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles, I die cut each of the cupcakes out using 2.25″ circle die.  Using the finger dauber, I inked around all of the edges of the circles using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Picked Raspberry. The sentiment was fussy cut and then adhered to black cardstock and fussy cut again.

U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to all of the pieces and they were popped up onto the card. Lastly, Wink of Stella – Clear was applied to the frosting on the cupcakes.
