lIve crafting

Last night over on Crafters Companion Forum we had another Live Crafting Event and made cute Cupcake cards, Here are all the instructions, with photos

Step 1
Print and cut out pattern pieces
Fold A4 base card in half, place bottom piece onto fold and cut out like in photos.

Step 2
Take corrugated card or striped paper and cut out the pattern again,
Take your ribbon and lay across your base card then stick cut out pieces to front of card, tie and trim ribbon as in photo, I have done both styles card and paper.
You could also cut a piece out for the back if you like, I have not done so for the demo

Step 3
If you have a embossing machine, emboss your A5 card, you can use the same folder for all 3 pieces or, use 3 different folders.
Cut out layer 1 stick double sided tape to the back of this piece near the bottom wavy edge, and stick onto you’re base card like in photo, I have taken a photo of the back to help you see where to stick

Step 4
Do the same for the next two layers, cutting out your pieces from your coloured card and building them up on top of each other, see photos again I have shown the back as a guide.
You could add a bit more decoration to the finished cup card by adding glitter, snow etc.
These cupcake cards can be made in any size just by shrinking down the pattern before printing out.

Here is the finished Cupcards

Here is a closer look at the embossing and decorating

Keaton is getting christened next month,Ionly got back from holidays on Monday ,and they have rushed me to get his invites done ASAP, as they wanted to give them out this weekend, So I took some photos into my Digital scrapbook artist, and made a layout, that was printed onto photo paper, then backed onto card each invite is 5x4 inches, love how they turned out and it only took me two hours to make 100 invites, so very happy about that
