- Now get your cards ready. I cut a slightly smaller white piece of cardstock to go on the front of a pre-folded colored cardstock card but you are more than welcome to change this up with what you have on hand or need. Go ahead and glue those pieces together.Cardstock Cards, Cardstock Paper
- Next glue down your flatten cupcake liner to the front and center of your card front. Repeat for each card you want to make.
- Grab your remaining cardstock and cut out TWO smaller pieces to go on the side of the cupcake liner and really give the look of a "candy" wrapper. Some might say a trapezoid, others might freestyle this part! Go ahead and glue those down.
- Next and the "sweet" part - add the stickers to really tie it all together! You can make sayings like "Sweet On You" "U R 2 Sweet" "Sweet Wishes" - whatever your heart desires!Embellishments
