Cupcake Explosion

I've been eyeing the cards-in-a-box all over blog land, but have been rather intimidated by them.  But I finally made the plunge and it was FUN!!  I followed this tutorial and the construction of it was so easy!  Sorry about the pictures.  My camera died and I had to go with plan B and I was in a hurry and didn't even think about finding better lighting.  Arg . . .brain freeze.



So, how can you not love a card filled with cupcakes and balloons?!  But to make it even more fabulous I made the front flap into a shaker.  So fun!!


And since there isn't any place inside the card for a sentiment, I stamped it onto the back panel.
This was so much fun; I definitely will be trying this again.

Challenges:
V's Sweet Ideas #33--anything goes
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper--anything goes as long as it is covered with patterned paper
Craftin' Desert Divas--Shake it Up!
Tuesday Throwdown #240--All Clear (I used a piece of acetate for my shaker element)
Top Tip Tuesday--3 of something (I have 3 cupcakes, and 3 balloons)
Word Art Wednesday #179--anything goes with uplifting sentiment
Crafting By Designs--shaped card (I hope this counts, it's a rectangle when folded up, but the real card part is definitely shaped)
Crafty Creations #287--seeing spots

Supplies:
Stamps PTI "Baker's Dozen"; MFT "Delicious Birthday" sentiments
Dies: PTI "Baker's Dozen" and "Heart 2 Heart #2" balloons; Spellbinders "Classic standards circles, large"; Verve "Scalloped Trim Trio" stars in shaker element
