Cupcake Liner Pancake Friend Cards – Kid Craft Idea

Inspired by our “Cupcake Liner Tough Cookie” handmade card post from last month on Glued To My Crafts, I decided to alter that particular tutorial “just a tiny bit” and make smiling pancake friends instead! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so “that” might have inspired all this as well… just saying!

These happy and extra smiley pancake friend cards are just as clever as my previous cupcake liner card tutorial and super easy to recreate too! Perfect to give to friends who need a pick me up or a little “hello” to get them through the day. I’m sure the lucky recipient of this card will be thrilled to get something like this {think Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or just because!}

So why are we delaying the fun? Keep scrolling to the full tutorial below, so you can whip up these simple DIY pancake cards using tan colored cupcake liners, a little puffy paint and tons of creativity to bring them to life! Be sure to also give them your own spin and personality as well! Maybe even include a small gift card to a local breakfast shop. The ideas are limitless on this one!

Happy crafting {and gifting} my friends! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures when you recreate this pancake card idea today and come share them on our Facebook page! We can’t wait to see how ADORABLE your handmade paper pancake cards turn out! #gluedtomycrafts

Pancake Friends Card Craft Supplies:

Tan/Brown Cupcake Liners – one per pancake card {affiliate link on Amazon}
Cardstock Paper {I used white and blue}
Basic Craft Scissors
Glue Stick
Gold/Black Tulip Puffy Paint {affiliate link to gold and black}
Gold Glitter or Yellow Craft Foam
Large Wiggle Eyes – two per pancake card
Embellishments like heart stickers or glitter

Directions:

First make your card and card front. I went with a square card. You just need to make sure your cupcake liner will fit to the front of the card.
Now you are ready for the “pancake” part. Grab your brown cupcake liner and flatten it out our fingers. Put glue on the back of the flattened liner and place it in the center of the card. Use your fingers to flatten out the cupcake liner some more and make sure it sticks to the card. Add more glue to the back of areas that aren’t sticking to the card.
Next up – the embellishments. Use the gold puffy paint to make “syrup” lines on the cupcake liner.
Grab your gold glitter craft foam. Cut out a square for the “butter” of the pancake. Stick it on top of the wet gold puffy paint, so it “dries” in place. This is the pancake’s nose.
While the gold paint is still wet, lay the wiggle eyes down in place.
Now grab the black puffy paint and draw on a smile for your pancake friend.
Add heart stickers in the corners of the mouth, if desired.
Now set aside your cupcake liner pancake card masterpieces to let them dry completely before gifting them away!
