My favorite cards to make are birthday cards, and I guess that’s because everyone has a birthday, so everyone deserves a birthday card, right? Now that the Cake Builder Punch is back in stock and the Piece of Cake Bundle can be ordered, I thought this is the perfect time to share this card.
Color Combo
I pulled my color combination from the All My Love Designer Series Paper. In the Occasions Catalog, this paper is paired with Valentines and hearts, but don’t let that limit you on the versatility of this gorgeous paper. The banner was made with the Banner Triple Punch. The print I chose is rather feminine with the flowers and all, so I wanted to add some more feminine touches to the card. I add texture with the Quilt Top Embossing Folder and chose the cake image with flowers on it so I could coordinate it with the DSP. The cake and platter were both stamped in Memento Ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends. No fussy cutting needed for this card now that we have the Cake Builder Punch. It cuts out the cake and the platter! I added a Whisper White circle cut from the Layering Circle Framelits and stamped the candles and sentiment also from the Piece of Cake stamp set. The cake and platter were both popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Because the card base is Soft Suede it would be hard to read the inside of the card, so I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside , then added a border to the bottom with a 1″ x 4″ piece of the same Designer Series Paper.
