Hero Arts Cupcake with Gems Card


You can make this card for a birthday card, but if you change the cupcake to another design, you can use it for another occasion! Here are the instructions:


1. Cut a 1" piece of ribbon and glue/tape to the center of the card, as shown.

2. Punch out a scalloped circle (2-1/2") from pink cardstock and adhere to the card, just covering the piece of ribbon.

3. Punch out a 1-7/8" circle from kraft cardstock and glue it behind an acetate tag. Take a row of gemstones and lay them on the rim of the tag.

4. Stamp the cupcake on ivory cardstock and cut out the icing & flower together.

5. Stamp the cupcake on pink cardstock and cut out the flower only.

6. Attach the icing to the stamped cupcake with foam tape.

7. Attach the pink flower on top of the ivory flower.

8. Attach a large flower gem over the pink flower and then a small crystal gemstone in the center of the flower.

9. Tie your ribbon into a knot and use a glue dot to adhere to the card, as shown.

10. Stamp your sentiment.
