instructions
Cut a piece of white card stock 5 1/4" x 4 1/4", fold in half. Place the largest cupcake die so that the die extends over the fold so that the fold doesn’t cut. Die cut. Using a sponge dauber, ink around the edge with Aquamarine. Stamp 2 complete cupcake images on white card stock with Aquamarine.  Color the cupcake liner with pencils. Die cut with coordinating die. Stamp only the frosting 3 times; 1 each with Dandelion, Magenta Hue, and Tangelo, sponging with the same inks. Die cut and then layer them on one of the Aquamarine images. Add to the card front.  Stamp 2 of the bow/ribbon from the cupcake with Magenta Hue and die cut with coordinating die.  Adhere one to the front of the card. Stamp the sprinkles with the same inks on white card stock. Stamp the heart and cherry with Magenta Hue, die cut with coordinating dies and then add glossy accents to the heart and cherry. Add the cherry to the cupcake on the card front. Add the sprinkles.
 


Inside: Using the second image, cut a slit in one of the frosting layers, big enough for the gift card. Glue only around the edges to the card base. Add the bow to the cupcake. Die cut the background layer from the Ornamental Tags die from white card stock. Die cut the second layer from blue card stock. Cut the ‘gift for you’ from white card stock. Layer the 3 pieces together. Slip into the slot made for the gift card. For the top inside: die cut the cupcake without stamping, ink the edge with Aquamarine, and add to the card. Stamp the sentiment on white card stock with Magenta Hue. Hand cut and edge with Aquamarine. Stamp the candles with Aquamarine and Magenta Hue. Die cut with coordinating die and add to card. Use yellow and crystal Stickles. Add heart from sprinkles stamp and pink heart with glossy accents below sentiment.

The second card is a very quick and easy card.
