If we could be eating more ‘hole’ foods, what a sweet world it would be. Doughnuts and bagels are tasty carbohydrate treats and a theme for this interactive birthday card which uses Karen Burniston dies and Trinity stamps.

Cardbase:  Cut a 4 1/4 x 11-inch rectangle of a single-sided striped cardstock. Score and fold into a top fold A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2-inch.) Cut from kraft cardstock, 13 doughnut charms from the Sweet Treats Charms set and trim off the charm loop. On ten of the doughnuts add black poppy seeds to make into bagels. Glue seven bagels onto the front of cardbase. Cut another bagel in half and save with the last two bagels to complete the decorating of the card front once the Frame Pop-Up is added. (Save the remaining three doughnuts for the doughnut section.)

Frame Pop-Up:  (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Frame Pop-Up.) From the striped cardstock cut the two square base pieces and pull strip of the Frame Pop-Up set. Assemble as directed, coloring the arrow purple to match the stripes. Attach to the card base with staples. Cover staples with two whole bagels. Add half bagels at the top edge of the frame pop-up.

Doughnuts:  Cut the largest plain circle in the Crosshatch Circles set from kraft cardstock and then using the golf ball circle die in the Sports Charms set, cut the doughnut hole from the larger circle. Trace the large doughnut onto pink cardstock and cut a smear of icing from the pink to cover the doughnut. Glue pink icing onto doughnut. Us a chocolate glitter brush pen to add a drizzle of chocolate. Add dots of glue randomly and add clay colored sprinkles. Cut from pink three icing pieces from the Sweet Treats Charms set. Glue icing to the three remaining doughnut charms cut in the cardbase section.

Attach the large doughnut to the front of the frame pop-up. Add one doughnut inside the frame pop-up with foam squares. Add another doughnut to the inside of card and the remaining one to the envelope flap.

Sentiments:  Stamp “You’re a sprinkle donut in a bagel world” on white cardstock and trim to fit inside the frame pop-up. Stamp inside the card “You’re a year older…but you donut look it” and glue a doughnut between the two lines.  Die cut “Happy Birthday” and its shadow from pink cardstock. Cover the words with a chocolate glitter brush pen. Glue words and shadow together. Attach over the staples inside the card.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 envelope with the remaining doughnut on the flap.
