Day 5: Christmas Theme Week + Daily Giveaways

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I’m sharing a fun and yummy Christmas card featuring the Big Christmas Cupcake Dies. Can you imagine if this were a real cupcake? Wouldn’t that huge Christmas tree worth of frosting be just heavenly?! It’s making me hungry already. This was a super fun die to play with because the possibilities for decorating this cupcake are endless. 

I started by creating the background. I used the largest die from the Eyelet Rectangles Dies to diecut a piece of pink cardstock. The scalloped edges were masked off with some low tack tape. I used the three stencils in the Layered Snowflakes Stencils and Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink to create a subtle snowy background. I set that aside to dry as I worked on the cupcake. 

The Big Christmas Cupcake Dies were used to diecut all of the cupcake, Christmas tree, ornaments, snowflakes ad bow out of white, red, green and gold cardstock. I used Copic markers (E41 W1) to add a little color to the white frosting. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen. The elements were assembled as seen in the photos, with liquid glue. Foam squares were used to adhere the bow and ornaments for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Christmas Banner Greetings onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Banner Greetings 1 Dies to diecut the sentiment. I used the die to also diecut another banner out of green cardstock. The two banners were adhered to each other slightly offset to create a green shadow. 

The cupcake and sentiment banner were adhered to the pink panel with foam tape. I adhered the larger snowflakes directly onto the pink panel with liquid glue. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the pink panel before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25″ x 5.5″).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to make and send out your own version of this yummy cupcake this holiday season.
