Cupcake Decoupage

This is actually my first attempt at decoupaging.(I tried this before but didn't understand the technique, so instead of using dimensional foam tape, I used the normal double-side tape and the result was hilarious...lol


The entire of this cupcake is a printable freebie from Card Making Downloads. I added yarn on the paper button. My 3 years old son loves this cupcake card and was singing birthday song, clapping his hands and blow the cupcake card until it fell off...

Challenges:

  1. The Paper Variety - threads
  2. Simon Says - food or drink
  3. Loathian Crafts - anything goes
  4. Craft Your Day Away - cupcake
