Cupcake Thank You's

I found this template online when I was searching for a cupcake pattern for an apron that I made (go here for that post). I thought that it had great possibilities and wanted to turn it into a card someday. Well that someday has come my friends. I was needing to make a few more thank you cards to send out after Small fry's birthday. I went back to this template and copied and pasted it into Microsoft Word and then printed it out. Here is what I did to make the cards.
Step 1: Cut out the cupcake template. You could adjust the size to your liking. I used a 12x12 piece of cardstock to make my cards. Fold the cardstock in half. Place the template on the fold with one edge hanging over slightly. This is where the card will open. Using this size of paper allows you to get 2 cards from each sheet of paper. Trace the cupcake onto the cardstock and cut it out.

Step 2: I used felt to make the liner part of my cupcake. I roughly traced the bottom of the cupcake onto my felt and cut it out. You want the top part of the felt to come up higher than where the imaginary top of the liner would be. This way your cupcake top can overlap with the felt. I used a regular old glue stick to attach the felt. Step 3: Trace the top of the cupcake onto a patterned paper. This time trace around the whole top. Cut this piece out and glue it to the cardstock.This is what it will look like. From here what you do to embellish it is totally up to you. I used a small price tag that I had on hand and stamped "Thank you" on it and attached it with sticky tape then glued a little bow on. I also traced the inside of the card on another piece of patterned paper and glued it to the inside.I love these so much I am going to make another set to use in a give away so stay tuned for that coming up. Enjoy!!!
