Used Kraft cardstock for base. Used the Paper Studio Tiny Cupcakes scrapbook scrap piece as layer.

Used couple punches to make this card. Rounded the edges of base & layer with Fiskars corner rounder. The Martha Stewart cupcake punch punches 2 pieces: cupcake top/frosting & cupcake liner. The Crop-A-Dile punched the tiny cherry.

Used Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder on cupcake top/frosting for swirl look. Used liquid Pearls & glitter on cupcake top/frosting for sparkle.

Cut a tiny piece of Kraft cardstock for cherry stem. Took me a couple tries to cut it the way I wanted.

Used Fiskars paper crimper on cupcake liner for more realistic look.

Added ribbon. Used Spellbinder to cut tag. Stamped sentiment on  tag. Added tag with twine.

Used up scraps. I have only a tiny piece of the cupcake scrapbook paper & ribbon left.
