What you will Need: How to Make a Cupcake Birthday Card

Step 1: Download and Upload the free SVG by clicking on this link
If you do not know how to download and upload an SVG for the library check out the video below for step-by-step instructions.
Step 2: Ungroup the SVG
Highlight the entire project and pick ungroup in the top right of the ayers panel.
Step 3: Change the Center Line to a Score Line
There is a center line that divides the card in half for folding. Highlight the line. Go to the operations menu in the top left corner of Design Space and convert the line from cut to score. Highlight the score line and the card only and clic attach. Do this for both the bottom card and the top card.
Step 4: Color Sync the Card
There are several different colors of blue and yellow. Go to the color sync panel and merge the colors so that you use less cardstock.
Step 5: Change the Card from Pink to White
If you want a white card change the pink card to white using the color panel at the top of Design Space.
Step 6: Make It
Click Make in the top right corner of Design Space. Choose on Mat and choose the blue mat to create your card.
Step 7: Load the Blue Mat
Place the cardstock on the blue mat and cut out the pieces.
Step 8: Glue the Card Together.
Place the blue card on your workstation. Glue the white card on top of the blue card so that the letters show through. Once you have glued the cards together add the rest of the pieces starting with the white cupcake. Layer the rest of the pieces on top gluing them as you go. Just follow the photos.
Step 9: Fold the Card
Fold the card and place it in the envelope. Send to your loved one.
