I used our Simply Score Tool to create some 

scored edges around the card!

The hearts are die cut using the Framelits {Heart Collection} and created a clothes line to hang the hearts and bird.

This is the inside of the card.  I added the smallest heart 

from the framelits{Heart Collection}

I was inspired by a book that I've had for a while called "Paper Sculpt Sensation" by Marion Elliot it has such amazing 3D projects!!  Thank you for visiting today and until next time, Enjoy my Cupcake!!!

Hugs,

~Norma~

The book has a template for you to use but, I of course wanted to incorporate some of my Stampin' Up! tools.  I used the Circle Scissor Plus and punches to create this Delicious Cupcake!!

The top with the flower was created using a 3" circle with the Circle Scissor Plus. The middle layer on the cupcake was also created with a 3" circle and the Eyelet Border Punch.

This picture shows the inside of the cupcake after the middle layer is removed.  Inside you will find a Stampin' Up! bracelet with SU charms that we carry with the exception of the adorable "Pink Elephant" {my son got for me} Notice the circle charm with the punch flower and Rhinstones which I inserted inside.  Our charms can be used with our 1/2" circle punch and many of our other Trinkets etc...!! LOVE my CHARM BRACELET and I change the inside of the charms all the time!  These charms are so much fun to play with ladies and make great gifts!!!!

A close up look: The flower was created with the "NEW" Blossom Punch which you can also buy the coordinating stamp set.  I also used the Boho Blossoms Punch, and the Blossom Petals Builder Punch for the leaves. I stamped Thanks so much using Tiny Tags and punched it with our Jewelry Punch. I inked the leaves with Old Olive for some added definition.  I hope you enjoyed it my friends!!
