Happy Birthday Happy Cake Day Card

Created this Happy Birthday Happy Cake Day
Card using Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge and
JoysLife Yummy Pun stamps which I'm getting
a lot of wonderful use out of.

Found the Kraft red cardstock at Hobby Lobby
last wk on sale and it was 50% off.

Embossed the cupcake wrapper, frosting top &
heart..

Added the Vintage Bakers twine to the cupcake
wrapper.

Used Enamel accents white for frosting look on

the embssed swirls of the frosting top. Tested a
scrap piece of the brown cardtstock and
discovered that liquid pearls White Opal on brown
cardstock like I was using has a silver look. Used
Stickles on the heart.

Stamped JoysLife Yummy Puns stamp sentiment.

Used foam for 3D look.
