Cupcake drop in Flip It

It's time for another awesome new Flip it insert that coordinates with the 

Flower Flip it card base.

It is so fun to be able to change out the inserts to expand the use of the card base die.

I decorated the cupcake with some fun embelishments.

Here is a look at it when it is flipped open.

This card fits in to a regular A2 envelope.

Happy Birthday...Make a Wish!

Hello All!

We had another birthday at the office so I created another BIG card!

It's just big enough for all 20 of us to sign!!

The image is a fun stamp from Art Impressions.

It's BFF's Cupcake.

The sentiment is from the Birthday with Sizzix stamp set from The stamps of life.

The paper is from my favorite paper pack from Hobby Lobby.

Birthday Easel Card

Happy Sunday Rubber Cafe' Fans!

I am so excited to share another fun fold card project that I made with the March Rubber Cafe' Creative Cafe' Kit of the month, Special Celebration.  I used the add on set, Little Cupcake for today's card.

Here is my card when it is closed and ready to mail.

But...this is an easel card so when the recipient receives this lovely card, they can set it out for all to see and it will look like this! 

To create this card, Start with a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of navy blue cardstock.

Fold the card in half to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.

Fold the front of the card in half.

Adhere a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8" panel of flowered paper to the top portion of the front of the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Do the same with the green and white striped paper.

Tie a piece of light teal ribbon around the top of the lower portion of the card.

Adhere a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8 panel of patterned paper to the inside of the card.

Stamp the sentiment on a 1 1/4" x 3 3/4" of white cardstock with black ink.

Back sentiment panel with a 4 1/4" x 1 3/4" pink panel.

Adhere panel to the inside of the card with 3D foam squares.

Stamp the floral cupcake image on a white die cut circle panel with black ink and color with colored pencils.

Back the cupcake panel with a larger circle panel cut from patterned paper.

Then back with a slightly larger circle panel of light pink cardstock.

Finally, the bottom panel is a navy blue scallop edge circle panel.

Fold the front of the card up so it rests behind the sentiment panel to create the easel.

Adhere the cupcake panel to the card by applying -Scrap Happy Glue to only the bottom half of the panel.

This card is a great way to give a gift card to someone special for their birthday.

I hope you give it a try!

Happy Sunday Rubber Cafe' Fans!

I am so excited to share my second project that I made with the March Rubber Cafe' Creative Cafe' Kit of the month, Special Celebration.

At first glance, it looks like a regular card...but you know me...I've got a secret inside...

To create this card I started with an 8 1/4" x 4 1/4" panel of pink cardstock.

I used my Scor-Buddy to score the panel at 5 1/2".

I adhered a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of patterned paper to the inside of the pink panel with Scrap Happy Glue.

I folded the flap up and then adhered a 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" panel of patterned paper to the front with Scrap Happy Glue.

Then I cut a 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" panel of sand cardstock  and scored it in half.

to create a gift card pocket I cut a  3 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of patterned paper and scoring it on 3 sides at the 1/2" mark.

I folded in the three sides of the patterned paper and punched a half circle in the top.

I added scor-tape to the back edges.

Adhere the patterned paper envelope to the inside of the sand cardstock.

Then adhere this piece to the inside of the card.

Stamp sentiments on the inside.

The envelope holds a gift card.

Fold the panel up to close the card and then add a panel with the cupcake on it.

Tie a bow around the card to keep it closed and it's done!

This card is a great way to give a gift card to someone special for their birthday.

I hope you give it a try!

Happy Sunday!

I am so excited to share my first project that I made with the March Rubber Cafe' Creative Cafe' Kit of the month, Special Celebration.

Here is the front of my card:

The fun part is when you open it up and another cupcake pop outs!

To create my card I started by folding an  11" x 4 1/4" piece of pink cardstock from the kit in half to create the card base.

Cut the first panel 5 1/2" x 2 1/4" and back with a slightly larger  beige panel.

The second panel measures 4 1/4" x 2" and was backed with a slightly larger beige panel.

The third panel measures 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" and was backed with a slightly larger beige panel.

Adhere the first panel to the center of the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Stamp the sentiment on the bottom of the panel with black ink.

Tie ribbon around the second panel.

Then adhere it to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Adhere the third panel to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Finally, stamp the cupcake on a white panel and color with pencils.

Then cut the cupcake out and adhere to the card with 3D Foam.

To create the inside of the card I cut a 4" by 10 1/2" piece of white card stock and scored it in half.

I adhered a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of polka dot paper to the top portion and a striped panel the same size to the bottom portion.

On the back side score on the solid lines and cut on the dotted lines.

The dotted lines are about 1 1/2" in from each edge.

The top score is 3 3/4" from the top and the bottom score is 4 3/4" from the bottom.

Adhere this panel to the inside of the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Stamp cupcake on white cardstock and color with pencils.

Cut out the cupcake and adhere to the popped out panel.

I added the inside panel.

Outside edges measure 3" x 4"

This card is super easy to make and the recipient will be so impressed!

I hope you give it a try!
