Spinning Cupcake Card

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good week. I'm sharing today a spinning cupcake card I made for a friends birthday next week. The cupcake spins and is double sided. I've seen spinning cards before and I really wanted to try it for myself. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and it was fun to make! I am looking forward to making more spinning cards and experimenting with different folds for the card base too. The gypsy definitely comes in handy for this project!

I am going to enter this into the Challenge Me Monday #73 "Piece of Cake" challenge. This challenge is to use a cupcake (or other baked good) on your project.

If Friends Were Flowers, I'd Pick You

Hi everybody! I want to share a friendship card that I made. I used the Everyday Pop-up Cards cartridge for the inside flower pot. I cut the flowers out five times to get different colors for the flower heads and stem. It's probably just me, but I think the pop-ups on this cartridge are very confusing! I really like them, but I'm not sure how many other pop-ups from this cartridge I will be using. Anyway, I think this one turned out cute. Hope you like it!

I  am entering this into the Wacky Wednesday #47 - Friendship Challenge over at More Than Favors blogspot.

Inside of card. I've started using clear photo corners tabs on some of my cards to hold the sentiment paper in place. I also include a couple extra sheets of paper so that the card can be re-gifted.
