Father's Day Cupcakes

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

It's a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh. Hope you are enjoying more of the same wherever you are. We just came back from a 2-mile walk. We cut it shorter today because my hubby will be doing yard work and that gives him plenty of steps. I am going to the local outlets to do some shopping. So, I will be on my feet doing something fun. 

Now onto my card for today. this one I made for my weekly DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. I have created a slimline card for Father's Day card using the new Cupcake w/Cherry die and the Cupcake w/Twists die. I am giving this one to my next-door neighbor. He loves sweets of all kinds. I am going to pick him up a cupcake from our local bakery and give it to him along with this card. So, let's get started with some details of how I created my card.

Design Steps:

I decided to use the Circle Windows Slimline die to display the cupcake images. I cut it in a designer paper that I thought would work for a masculine card. The card base is white, and I rounded the corners of the base with the envelope punch board. It has a corner rounder.

White card Base: 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Designer Paper Layer: 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Next, I cut the cupcakes in colors I thought complement the designer paper. I used chocolate for the swirls and icing because my neighbor is a big chocolate lover. So, his "real" cupcake will be a chocolate one.

I stamped the Father's Day sentiment in the center circle with grape ink. Then I cut a label shape from the Windows Slimline die set and stamped the "sweet treat" sentiment inside that with grape ink.

Now that all elements are prepared, I am ready to finish up the card assembly. I attached the designer paper window panel to the card base with double sided tape.
The Cupcakes & sentiment label are attached with dimensional adhesive. I scattered a few grape enamel dots to complete my card.

Well, that's it for me with this post. So until next time........God bless.
