In the brown pattern paper I created a slit and popped the paper up with foam squares.. Then, I glued a quarter on the back of my cupcake, stuck a foam square on top of the quarter, and then place another quarter on to of the foam square(sandwich the foam square between the 2 quarters).. Next, I place the bottom quarter inside the slit on my pattern paper.. To finish this card I did some inking, added some ribbon, stickles, and used some decorative scissors..
