Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life Birthday Card

Yesterday our card group met at Sue M.'s and we made three cards. I can't wait to show them to you over the next three days, hopefully.

For the first one we used the retired Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and retired Tree Builder Punch. The technique is called "Latch Card" and it's a CASE of Christi Beck.

Sue had the following cut for us:

Bermuda Bay card base - 5.5" x 7.5"

Whisper White (2) 3" x 5 1/4"

DSP 1" x 5 1/4"

Bermuda Bay 2" circle

Whisper White 2 1/2" circle or Layering Circle Framelit

She had us score the long side of the base at  3 1/4", which created the front flap. With the front folded, on the edge of the inside, we scored at 3 3/8" and 3 1/2", and 3 5/8". This makes the right edge of the base bendable. The cupcake "latch" will be attached to the non-scored edge.

On a piece of scrap Whisper White, we stamped the cupcake base in Crushed Curry and fussy cut it around the bottom and side edges, but not the top.  Leave about an inch on paper at the top. We also stamped the frosting in Bermuda Bay and punched it out. We used Strawberry Slush for the sprinkles. The frosting was then adhered to the cupcake base with Dimensionals.

Next we adhered the two circles together and then adhered the cupcake to the circle.

We glued the DSP on the edge of one of the Whisper White pieces and stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay. With the remaining piece of Whisper White, we stamped the inside sentiment. We ran a piece of ribbon around the DSP piece and adhered that to the front of the card. The remaining piece was adhered to the inside of the card.

Now comes the fun part, adding the cupcake circle to the edge of the inside. We put Dimensionals on the far right side of the circle to adhere it to the base. 

This is how it looks when it's opened...

I hope you'll try this technique as it is such a fun card and easy to create.

I'm entering my card in the Alphabet Challenge "R" is for Ribbon and in the Craft Rocket Challenge #65 - Birthday.

Thank you for stopping by today.
