Now let's get down to the business of today's challenge! For my project, I chose to use this sweet cupcake from the Doodlecharms cartridge.

For the embellishments, I used My Creative Time petal flowers and scalloped circle.....

 .....and My Creative Time Build a Banner Kit, and Many Greetings stamp set.

Matching gift box -

Instead of ribbon, I used tulle to match the card. But it's not only a cute card, is also like an extra embellishment on the box. The box is the mini pizza box die by Lifestyle Crafts.

Inside the box are these super cute magnets shown here on the pink mini fridge that adorns my craft room. ;) I hope you like them, Emma! Happy Birthday!
