I began by making the card out of this pretty pink cardstock with a tulip design. I had these adorable cupcake dimensional stickers, so I thought they would be perfect for her card. But first, I needed another piece of pretty paper to mount them on. I searched thru my big stock of decorative papers (I have quiet a bit!) and found nothing that would even remotely go with the pink tulip paper! Nothing! What to do? I had a bit of a brainstorm when I noticed that the cardboard insert in the package of cupcake stickers was pastel polka dots! I thought it was a perfect match, so I cut it to the size I wanted, then used decorative scissors to trim the edges. I then used "Zots" to adhere the cardboard. I love them, they really stick!
Since you can never have too much glitter, I added some of my Aleen's dimensional glaze to the top of the cupcakes, then around the edges of the card. I dusted my Martha Stewart glitter over the glaze, and really loved the look, thought it's a bit hard to see the glitter in the photos. I then added a pretty sheer ribbon that I tied in a bow around the card. The card still needed something more, so I broke out my stash of buttons.
My sister loves buttons, and so do I! Must be part of our DNA! I used my Zots to adhere them. As a final fun touch, I used my mini cupcake rubber stamp to jazz up the envelope. There you have it! A birthday card that's easy as
