Show someone in your life how special they are to you by making them a one-of-a-kind handmade cupcake card piece!!!
Craft Supplies:
- Circular Paper Doilies
- Cardstock Paper
- Craft Adhesive
- Large Rhinestone Stickers and/or Heart Stickers
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Scissors/Paper Trimmer
- optional material – Glitter Glue
Directions:
- First things first – take your paper doily and cut it into equal halves. This will give you TWO cupcake cards you can make today.
- Use adhesive to adhere ONE paper doily half to a sheet of white cardstock paper. This is now the “frosting” of the cupcake.
- Now take another sheet of cardstock and cut out the “cup” of the cupcake.
- Adhere that piece, under the paper doily, on your white cardstock paper.
- Finally, add a “cherry” embellishment on top and if desired, some glitter glue “sprinkles.”
- The last step is to take your paper trimmer and NOW trim down your card to create the card. The size of yours may depend on how big you made your cupcake. Because of the odd shape of your card, I do suggest either gifting as is or making your own card {Pinterest would be my go-to place to learn how to make an envelope!}
- Add other embellishments you see fit {like marker drawn lines on the cupcake bottom to give it more definition} You could also add chocolate hearts to your pieces like we did in our Unicorn Valentine card tutorial.
- Finally – it’s time to give away your Doily Cupcake Cards!
