If you don’t want to hand letter your card, use a program on your computer to make it. Using your card stock, print out the card approximately to 6” x 9” and fold in half. Your finished card will by 4.5” x 6”.

Determine a size for the cupcake based on the card size and placement of the lettering. Draw a cupcake on a piece of paper and cut it out. Place the template on top of the piece of felt and trace around all sides then cut cupcake out.
