Circle Cutout Cupcake Card

Here's a little bit of a different twist on the Happy Birthday Cupcake set from Kitchen Sink Stamps in the form of a card with a fancy fold. I saw a card using this fun design on Kirsten's blog a while ago. You can find her sample and directions here.

As soon as I saw Kirsten's card, I thought it would work perfectly with the large cupcake image from this set. I made some adjustments to her measurements to accomodate the larger image in the circle and to make this version of the card into a standard sized card.

The cupcake image is stamped with black ink and colored with Copic markers. I added some Cotton Candy Stickles to the cupcake top. The patterned paper on the front of the card is from the Cosmopolitan Collection by Making Memories. I love the pink and brown color combination!

I ended up using a combination of Marvy punches and my Coluzzle to make the circles and half circles for the cardfront. Now that I "get" how to actually use the Coluzzle, I'm finding it to be a handy and easy to use tool. It was great for cutting a half circle since I could see exactly where I was making the cut.

The sentiment is from the new Never a Loss 4 Words stamp set. It was just a tiny bit too long to fit inside my word window punch, so I cheated a little and just used my corner rounder to make it look like I had punched it out. Works fine for me!
