Your recipient will love the “extra” in this cupcake spinner card!
Circuit
Building the circuit requires a couple of extra cuts. You’ll find some basic guidelines for creating the circuit and needed cuts to complete your cupcake spinner card here. Eiko also has a link to a YouTube Video for additional details and specifics to make the spinner using the conductive thread.
Once the circuit is ready and the cupcake pieces added to the spinner, add the pull tab to the slider switch. Pull the tab to make sure the switch will still slide and complete the circuit.
Assemble the card.
Once you’ve completed the circuit and added your pull tab, assemble the layers: Card base > circuit > patterned paper card front. Use foam tape between the card front and the circuit layer. Open the card just enough and spin the cupcake to prepare it for the recipient. You’ll need a larger envelope to allow for the extra dimension of the card – and it may cost you a little more to mail.
This card can also be made without the light or circuit – using just the spinner. Just follow the directions in the video found here for the Reindeer Spinner Card and if you need additional help with assembling the cupcake, you’ll find those directions here.
We hope this card inspires you to create a Cupcake Spinner Card of your own for an upcoming special occasion or just because.

There’s always a reason to celebrate and choosing a fun box to get things started is always a welcome sight!
The cupcake box from Simply Crafty SVGs is always a hit! And this one is no different. Jan has used the Cupcake file, and elements from: Milkshake, Vintage Camper, Cupcake Center Panel Card and Cupcake Stand files to complete this one-of-a-kind cupcake for an upcoming celebration.
Mix up some fun patterned papers; cut, ink and assemble the cupcake for your upcoming celebration using the swirl top pieces and panels. Add the cherry from the Milkshake Box file to top the cupcake box.
Lift the lid…
and there’s a party inside! The platform in the bottom of the box consists of the panel from the Cupcake stand file. Jan scored the scalloped edge to fold down. She cut a slit in the center and placed this piece on a piece of cardstock scored and folded to create a rectangle open-sided box. Attach the elements directly through the slit of the panel to the rectangle below. Aren’t these fun additions?
The candle is from the Cupcake Center Panel Card and the flags for the banner are from the Vintage Camper file.
Take a peek at the files you have in your stash and it’s likely you’ll have some options for details you may not have considered previously. It’s always fun to play!

It’s that season of the year. Graduation time! And what would be more fun than creating an explosion box with a little bit of an upgrade for your favorite grads! Jan used the Graduation Explosion Box SVG and added a few additions to it. Take a peek:
The upgrades? She changed the mortar board top into a shaker box, filled with all sorts of sprinkles and die cuts.
Jan then created an extra layer of flaps for some additional options (adding pictures and sentiments (not all shown) and then using the Gift Card holder that comes with the file, she used stamps and transparent inserts as a “pop-up” for the central focal point once the box lid is lifted off. Jan will have more info about the “upgrades” on her blog.
Play with school colors, add images from the year and a few other details that will make this a one-of-a-kind gift never to be forgotten for your special grad this year.
Need some other options if an explosion box upgrade isn’t your first pick? Check out these ideas:
Lots of options and different ways you make them perfect for this year’s gift to your favorite grad! You’ll find these and more here.

This is Annie’s Party Cupcake on a Stand, designed using the 3D Cupcake Box SVG File and the FREE Cupcake Stand SVG File. She used the perfect paper for the cupcake lid and it feels like a party!
Here is another really fun birthday design using the Topsy Turvy Cake and a WHOLE LOT of candles, 49 to be precise! The candles are from the Birthday Cake SVG file. She also included a bunch of little guys on the side of the cake trying to hang on. The fire extinguisher is from the Light the Candles Card.
