Birthday Cupcake Card

I'm super excited to work on another project using Printable Cuttable Creatables (PCC) SVGs. I love this Birthday Hat Cupcake SVG and knew I could make a lot of birthday projects with it. 

For this post, I decided to make a fun fold card - an easel shaker card to be exact. I thought this easel design would really showcase this cute cupcake especially with some shaker bling behind it.

Cutting & Scoring dimensions are:

Card Base: 4.25 x 11" scored at 5.5" and 8.25"

Card Front: 4.25 x 5.5"

Patterned Paper: 4x5.25"

Two Window Sheets (I used a transparency):  4x5.25"

Since I decided this was also going to be a shaker card, I needed a frame to put the shaker bits in. In Design Space, I created the frame by stacking two different sized rectangles on top of each other - one at 4x5.25 and the second at 3.25x4.5 - I center aligned them & then sliced to make a frame. 

Once I was done with the frame, I added the cupcake image to the canvas.  I removed the base on the bottom of the image and adjusted the cupcake size to fit inside the frame. You can see that I moved it to the right of the frame and made sure that all it covered a portion of all four sides.  

The cupcake ends up being a little smaller than 3x5". Add an offset to the cupcake image; move the cupcake image to the side & then select only the frame & offset and weld them together. This will give the cupcake a place to sit on.

Watch the YouTube process video to get a better understanding on how I did this!

Once all the pieces are cut, I always place them together before adding adhesive.  Believe me, this is good advice!

Continue to make the shaker card and once that is complete, add it to the card front.

When making an easel card, you need to add foam adhesive to the tab on the bottom so it will stop the card front from sliding. I decided to add the birthday greeting on the tab instead of on the card front.
