Fluffy Bow and Cupcake Birthday Card

I love cupcakes. Yum! My British employer calls them Fairy cakes. How cute is that name?

I used my Stampin’ Up Cupcake Punch and Martha Stewart Small Ribbon Threader Edge Punch for this card. The sheer ribbon is 1″ wide and makes a nice fluffy bow.

Happy Birthday Card

The last four cards I created were sympathy cards, so it was a nice change to make a card for a happy occasion. I used the Stampin’ Up Cupcake punch and the Happy Birthday embossing folder from Crafts Too. (Darice has a very similar Happy Birthday folder). The paper is Core’dinations paper. After embossing the paper, I sanded it to expose the white core. I like the roughed up, fuzzy look. Considered adding sparkles, but decided I liked the simplicity instead.

Now I’m off to bake a birthday cake and then prepare a nice grilled steak dinner.

How are you spending your Memorial Day?
