They are all currently on sale and you can save 25% on the individual dies. Christmas Part 3 has just been released and is also on a limited time sale. This one also has savings of 25%.

Today, I have for your viewing pleasure a card featuring the new Snowman Christmas Cupcake die. This is such a cute die that I just couldn't resist making a card with it. I have a few December birthdays and I thought this would be a perfect winter themed birthday card. So let's get started on some details of how I created my card.

Design Steps:

I decided to do a fun fold for my card this week. I saw this fold on Pinterest and thought it would be a cute one for my Snowman Cupcake. I started with my card base of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". I scored it at 4 1/4" and then at 5 1/2".

Then I used 1/8" Scor-Tape to seal the left section of the card base closed.

This is the photo of the card base after it's secured with tape. It's like a book-binding.

Next, I chose two winter themed designer papers for the card front. The larger piece is 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" and the smaller is 1" x 5 1/4".

I attached those to the base front with double sided tape.

I cut the snowman cupcake image in colors to match the designer paper.

I wanted to frame the cupcake image and decided on the Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame. I used the 2nd largest die and cut in flirty flamingo cardstock. It's one of the shades in the designer paper.

I stamped my birthday wishes sentiment in coastal cabana ink. It is also one of the colors in the cardstock. I used my MISTI and inked 3x to get a bolder image.

Next, I attached the snowman cupcake using dimensional adhesive. In the frame corner I added the happy phrase. It's from the Festive Birthday Greeting die.

To complete my card I added some bakers twine and bow in the flirty flamingo shade. That's it for me for this week. See you next Saturday.
