An Awesome Birthday Card!

Hello again! I am super excited about this post!! It is my best friend/boyfriend's sister's birthday tomorrow (sorry if that is confusing) so I wanted to make her something special! First, here is a pic from out night out last night. We went to The Keg (a local casual fine dining restaurant) and we all got dressed up. Michelle and I looked awesome :)

Too bad the restaurant wasn't lit for photos (lol). Anyways, it was a great night full of good food and even better company! Now, onto the card:

As you can see, this is no regular sized card, it is twice the size of a normal card. Different hey? Ok, well that is nice, but it is not the best part. Drum roll please.....

Taaaa-daaa!! The inside is FULL of pop-up cupcakes! Now, this card is perfect for my friend Michelle, she likes cupcakes and bakes delicious ones! :) I found the template for this card on Stampin' T (see here original post here and the link to the PDF template). The views from all angles of this card are lovely:

Again, I am in love :) And the best part... Michelle loves the card just as much as I do! 

I am also entering this card in a couple challenges, The Friday Mashup and Color Throwdown. 

I chose the 20th Mashup: 

This challenge was use buttons or cupcakes, or mash them up! I chose to mash (lol). And the colour combination, awesome! I substituted so saffron for barely banana, but it still works. I just love those pastel colours, they say "spring"to me!

Thanks for looking today :)
