ORANGE you glad you landed on today’s post?! I’m “squeezing” my hands together in hopes that WE make this Cupcake Liner Orange Cutie Card craft tutorial go VIRAL this Valentine’s Day holiday!

Keep scrolling for ALL the crafty details!

EX-SQUEEZE ME! Today’s post is another first-seen-here idea for Glued To My Crafts and I hope you are inspired to “squeeze” it up ASAP! I’m super proud of this latest design of mine and I love the fact that it’s so easy but oh-so-cute!

Using inexpensive, mini orange cupcake liners I already had on hand, I was able to make a “punny” but simply adorable orange cutie themed card within minutes. I think this is one of those handmade card ideas you just HAVE to make {whether you are a kid or an adult} this upcoming Valentine’s Day season! It just seems wrong if you don’t ;-)

Besides the cupcake liners, all I used was some cardstock paper, my trusty scissors and my glue stick. That’s the main squeeze of it! I bet you could do this craft right now with what YOU have on hand! No excuses my friends!

On that note, I just hope you are inspired by my quick paper orange card tutorial and that you make your own cutie themed cards to spread some orange-tastic cheer this season! You can easily write messages like “You are a cutie!”” or “I just want to squeeze you!” in the inside, to really tie it all together! Better yet – if you are looking for a non-candy idea for your child to hand out in their class, pair up the handmade cards with REAL orange cuties for a sweet treat!

Anyways – SQUEEZE the day! Find all the details in the full tutorial below, so you can get right to “juicing” one up of your own today!. HA!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your handmade orange cutie cards with us! You can find us on Facebook or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts

MORE CUPCAKE LINER CARD TUTORIALS ON GLUED TO MY CRAFTS: 5 Minute Cupcake Liner Card Crafts For Kids

Orange Cutie Card Supplies:

• Mini ORANGE Cupcake Liners – one per orange card
• Colored Cardstock {I used kraft and white}
• Paper Trimmer
• Paper Craft Scissors
• Glue Stick
• Thick Tip Black Sharpie Marker
• Medium Sized Wiggle Eyes – two per orange card
• School Glue
• optional – embellishments like glitter, small stickers, etc.

Directions:

• First make your card. I went with a regular 5×5″ square card shape out of kraft colored cardstock. You just need to make sure your cupcake liner will fit on the front of your card.
• At this point in time, you should also make a smaller square cutout, that will fit to the front of the card. This will make your card more sturdy and make the design pop more. I went with a white color square.
• Go ahead and secure your square shape to your card.
• Now you are ready for the “orange” part. Grab your orange cupcake liner and flatten it out with your fingers.
• Put some glue on the back of your flattened cupcake liner piece and glue it onto your card front.
• If the edges are sticking up, add more glue so it really sticks down on the paper.
• Next up – the embellishments. Grab your brown and green colored cardstock sheets, along with the scissors.
• Cut out a simple stem from the brown and a leaf from the green.
• Go ahead and glue both of those, in place, on the cupcake liner piece.
• Now take your black marker and draw on a simple mouth shape.
• Finally, take the wiggle eyes and secure those in place as well.
• Add other embellishments if desired.
• Write some “punny” orange sayings on the outside and inside with your Sharpie marker.
• NOW THAT’S A SQUEEZE! You are done! Now set aside your cupcake liner orange card masterpiece to let it dry completely before gifting them away!

Punny Orange Sayings For Your Card:

• Orange you glad to see me?
• Hi CUTIE!
• Orange you glad we are friends?!
• You squeeze my heart!
• You are a CUTIE!
• I just want to SQUEEZE you!
• Squeeze the day!
• Have an orange-tastic day!
• I can’t CONCENTRATE when I’m with you!
• Orange you sweet!
