Cheery Cherry Cupcake Card

Hello hello, can you say Cheery Cherry Cupcake card 3 times 3X fast 😀🍒🧁😀🍒🧁😀🍒🧁. I made this bright and cheerful cupcake card for this weeks Craft Roulette Challenge. This weeks parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️

My “split in the middle” is the split in the patterned papers throughout the card, “Jolly Colours” are happy colours and I think these work well. My fruit is the cherries on the cupcakes, and my hearts are vellum metal rimmed heart tags.

I was originally stumped with the colour parameter because I was stuck on Christmas colours in my head and didn’t really want to make a Christmas card. I flipped through my patterned paper until I found a these retired papers from Stampin Up.

1A- I cut most of the pieces from the Circle Tagbook dieset from pomegranate coloured cardstock, yellow, and the patterned papers. When I cut the inside mechanism I put scalloped circles in the middle of 2 of the circles to cut windows.

B- I diecut cupcakes from the Cupcake Add ons set

2A- I cut all the card fronts in half,

B- attach the card base pieces together as shown

C- add all the pattered paper pieces to the front, back, and inside of the card, striped paper on the bottom and dots on the top.

D- I added the yellow trim to the front back and inside, I covered the holes on the out side only

3A- I like to put the decorative pieces on the arms before folding, it makes them stronger and less likely to buckle when folding.

B- fold as shown

C- add to card as shown

(Karen has a video tutorial on the product page at this Link )

4A- assemble cupcakes, I made 3

B- I added some of the yellow pieces to the inside, the hole covers and large circles

I added the cupcakes to the outer circles

5A- I used an itty bitty hole punch to punch holes above the windows

B- I used some yellow and white bakers twine to add the vellum heart tag.

C- I wanted the bow to cover the hole in the tag and I was struggling so I attached a paper ring under the heart to support it. I also added a little adhesive over the knot in the twine so it won’t come loose.

D- tied the bow and added a yellow streamer. I repeated for the second window.

6A- I die cut Happy Birthday from the Wordset 2 Birthday set, and a vanilla circle from the Circles Crosshatch slightly bigger than the yellow circle I previously cut. I added the pieces together, wrapping the Happy Birthday as shown. I added the cupcake with foam adhesive and another heart with a bakers twine bow.

B-I added bakers twine to both holes in the cardbase. I also pulled the strands apart and trimmed

C- add the greeting to the card front
