Cupcake Birthday Card

How do you like my first attempt at card making?  It's a pretty good start, but I promise I will improve.  All it takes to succeed at something is to have a desire to succeed at it.  I definitely have a desire.  I am really loving card making and paper crafting. :-)  The only paper crafting I ever did much of was scrapbooking and I LOVED it too!  

I made this card in the A2 size, which is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Simply cut a regular piece in half in the direction making it 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", then fold that in half to form the card base.  You can also cut it in the other direction, depending on which way you want the card to open, but we'll talk more about that at another time. 

For the cupcake, I used a 2" square for the base, angled the bottom corners, and cut out a cloud shape for the frosting.  Follow the link below for that cloud image and then simply copy the image, paste it into Word and resize it to any size you want.  My overall image from outline to outline was about 3" wide x 1 1/2" high.
