I created a step out card without the help of a craft die. After searching the internet, I tried it out and it was so easy. It could be addicting! LOL! Let me show you how featuring
MP-60128 Watercolor Splash Sunset Orange Paper and the NEW A4 So Sweet Collection Paper Pack.
**I receive products from Memory Palette Co., Spellbinders® Paper Arts and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**
Cupcake Step Up Card Instructions
Start with a piece of 8.5 x 5.5-inch
MP-60128 Watercolor Splash Sunset Orange Paper and score at 4.25-inch to create an A2 (4.25 x 5.5-inch) card base.
On the long side, align the left edge with 3-inch mark and place the cut blade of the paper trimmer at 2.5-inch and cut down to 4 7/8-inch.
On the short side, align the left edge at the 3-inch mark and the cut blade should meet the cut line at the 3-inch mark. Cut a line from the 3-inch mark up to the 5/8-inch mark.
Make your folds and your step-up card base looks like the below image.
Embellish the Card Front
Take
A4 So Sweet Five patterned paper from the A4 So Sweet Collection Paper Pack, it is full of wonderful sweet treat images. I fussy cut all of them so they are ready to use. I chose the cupcake image.
Wanted to create interest so I wrapped pink Baker's Twine around the cupcake. Note I added an Adhesive Dot Mini in the back to hold up the twine. I also used a couple to hold the beads to the cupcake and between the beads.
Die-cut a scalloped oval with shimmery white cardstock. Die-cut an oval shape with
A4 So Sweet Four patterned paper from the A4 So Sweet Collection Paper Pack
Nest the ovals together to create a layered mat behind the cupcake, using E-Z Runner Grand and E-Z Runner Dots Permanent Refill. Next, add Crafty Foam Tape Black on the back of the cupcake and center onto the ovals.
Place the layered cupcake in the center section of the card base using E-Z Runner Grand and E-Z Runner Dots Permanent Refill.
Lastly, I added the "Happy Birthday" sentiment die cut from the
So Sweet Ephemera with the E-Z Runner Grand Dots Permanent and placed it below the cupcake.
Here's another look...
