Kid Made

To make this homemade birthday card you will need: Thin card stock Two sheets of co-ordinated paper Small cupcake liners Birthday cake candles Glue Scissors To assemble the homemade birthday card: 1. Cut the thin card stock and one of the sheets of paper to the size you want your card to be. As an example, our card measures 6 inches x 8.5 inches. Now glue these two together. 2. Next, cut the second sheet of paper about half an inch smaller on all sides than the first sheet of paper. So the light pink paper on our card measures 5 inches x 7.5 inches. Position the second sheet of paper onto the first and glue in place. 3. Fold the card in half.

4. Cut the cupcake liners in half. We used mini cupcake liners so that three of them fit in a row across the card. You could also use a regular size cupcake liner and just have one on the card instead of three.

5. Fold over the edges of the cut cupcake liners as shown in the photo above. Apply glue to the folded part of the cupcake liners.

6. Position the cupcake liners in place on the card, pressing down on the edges where you applied the glue. TIP – the cupcake liners may look flat or oddly shaped at this point. That’s fine. The important thing is to just let the glue dry and then you can push out the cupcake liner and fix the shape once it has successfully adhered to the card. If the cupcake liners are not sitting well on the card, try making them smaller by cutting off a couple of the concertina folds on each side. 7. Apply glue to the candles and position inside the cupcake liners. That’s it! A cheerful homemade birthday card that anyone would love to receive!
