I had a few
easel card bases on my craft table and used one of them as the base of this
card. (I looked on Pinterest for a template and found one that I liked on an Operation
Write Home website. It’s actually just the base for the easel card. If you fold the top portion back
on itself it makes a nice stand-alone card. Note, I’m not providing the link to the original
website as I discovered that it must no longer be managed since OWH closed down
several years ago. When I visited the site, I discovered that it a virus now
lived there. Am glad that my virus scan zapped it before it could move to my
laptop! But I did want to provide credit to OWH for the original template.)

For my
card I have used a Gerda Steiner Freebie "Let's eat Cupcakes" (which was
provided in a past Gerda Steiner newsletter.) I did find it on the GS website HERE, where you’ll also find the link to
sign up for the newsletter. I colored
the image with Spectrum Noir markers then added some realism to the balloon by
tracing it with
a fine-line permanent marker on yellow vellum. I printed off an extra copy of the
cupcake, fussy-cut and colored it, then covered
the "frosting" with glue that would dry clear. A final touch of realism
was added by cutting “sprinkles” from very fine strips of scrap paper and sprinkling
them onto the wet glue. I added some depth to the card by using an Exacto blade
to trim around his front paws and gently lifted them. After attaching a square
of foam tape to the center of the cupcake, I slid it under the raised paws, added
glue to the underside of the paws, and pressed them atop the cupcake. The sentiment inside of the card is a fun freebie from Gingershouse. It pretty much sums up my battle of the bulge!

My last card
features a sweet digi from All Dressed Up. Like the cupcake digi, this one
includes a sentiment which simplifies card making. After coloring and trimming
the digi within a rectangular frame, I adhered it atop a rectangle of cardstock
and then on to a gatefold card base covered with cloudy sky patterned paper. I’m
leaving the inside of this card blank, as I want to keep it available to use as
needed.
