Need a Birthday Card? Here's a quick Cricut one!

Today is St. Patrick's Day and it's my daughter's birthday!  She has now become a teenager - thirteen (pray for me) and I wrapped some of her presents in this fun, funky paper.

I cut this cupcake card at 4" and ran it through the Cuttlebug using my two favorite folders, Divine Swirl and Swiss Dots.

The cupcake card is from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge - it has some really cute cards and boxes on this cartridge - see below:
