My Cupcake

My Cupcake: I found this paper, Recollections 25pack, at Michael's today for $3.99. I fell in love with the cupcake paper and had to make something with it right away. Let me know what you think.

Products Used:

2.Cricut Cartridges: All Mixed Up, Celebrations, Ribbons & Rosettes

How I Did It:
1.Cut the cupcake paper to 8.5" x 5.5". Score at 4.25" and fold to form card base.

Adhere the pink border over the red.
Using the Imaginisce heat setter adhere small clear crystals to the center of each of the diamonds.

Adhere dimensional to the top and bottom of cupcake.
4.Create "My Cupcake" using the All Mixed Up cartridge.

5.Adhere border 1" from bottom of card. You will have to cut the extra border off on each side.
6.Adhere red ribbon to bottom of border and to the very top of the card.
7.Adhere cupcake, with dimensionals, to card on a slight angle.
8.Adhere "My" above the border and center in the remaining area. Adhere "cupcake" below the border centered.
