Good morning! It’s Friday, and this birthday cake card is perfect for today. Two of my good friends are celebrating milestone birthdays this weekend, although neither are receiving this card. I’ll post theirs later 🙂
Today’s Piece of Cake card was created using a card sketch that I found in an old Paper Crafts magazine. I didn’t take a photo of the sketch, but these are the elements on the sketch:
- A horizontal strip of stamping or embossing near the bottom of the card. I chose embossing because I didn’t want it to overwhelm the cake.
- A large element on the left side, partially overlapping the strip. You can stamp a large image directly onto the stamped strip, but I needed to pop mine up because of the embossing beneath.
- A sentiment/phrase near the bottom right corner, also overlapping the strip.
The Cake Builder punch and Stampin’ Blends made this birthday cake card a snap to make. I only used one colour (light or dark) of Blends for the cake and candles, so no blending was required – just straight colouring. I did blend the grey on the cake stand, but only because it was easy to to. it would have been a colouring nightmare on the cake/icing.
