Stark blacks and whites make all the colors pop! Check out this delicious cupcake birthday card and make some magic in your craft room today!
Today’s beautiful design is from Natasha, who said, “Lately I have been drawn to high contrast cards. I decided to use the classic black & white contrast for this card, adding touches of pink and red too.” We love the look and the simplicity of this card. Follow along as Natasha shows us how to make a high contrast cupcake card.
- Die cut the cupcake pieces from 5604-123D Sweet Treats Dies 4 times in colors of your choice. I used black, white, light brown, pink and red. I did NOT cut the highlights for the frosting because I preferred to draw them on, but do as you please.
- Begin layering the cupcakes. When adding the pattern to the cupcake liner, pay attention to the direction of the slanted points. This makes alignment easier.
- When layering on icing, use foam tape to add dimension. Add glossy accents to the cherry to make it pop! Once the cupcakes were layered and the cherry was dry, I added highlights with a white pen.
- Adhere the outer design rectangle in 5218D Rectangle Combo OPC #3 Die to an A2 panel of white cardstock.
- Evenly align the 4 cupcakes in each inner corner of the adhered rectangle and pop into place with foam tape.
- Finally, stamp sentiment from 38010 Vase of Blooms Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. Adhere this into the center of the card panel.
