Cupcake Shaped Birthday Card - My Scrap Chick dt

Hello there!!  Today is my turn to post over on the My Scrap Chick blog and I have a fun birthday card to share with you.  My daughter's friend recently had a birthday and she celebrated with a Quincenara.  My daughter was one of her "attendants".   I wanted to make a fun and special card for her friend and this is what I came up with -

I used the "Cuppy Cake Treatkins" file and created a shaped card.  I enlarged my card quite a bit.  It is about 5.5 inches in height.  Since our present was the card and some money I wanted the card to be larger ;) 

To create my card base I made an offset of my cupcake's base layer and then cut it out two times.  The back layer of the card I scored about one inch or so down from the top.  I only adhered the top section of the back layer to the front to create the card base (you can see this up in my photograph).

I needed an envelope for my card to fit in so I chose the "Chunkie Square Envie 6.0"  and used some coordinating cardstock to make it with.  I think this turned out to be such a cute birthday card and it really went together quite quickly.  The slowest part was picking out my papers, lol!!
