Birthday Cake

 

Use Stampin Up's 'Piece of Cake' stamp set to make this birthday greeting card



This is a fairly simple card to make and although I've made mine into a birthday card, there are other cake designs to use from the stamp set that it could be adapted for other occaisions such as a wedding card.

Follow the below link to find out how the card was made 

You will need
  • 2 designs of corresponding paper - I've used a stripe and a spot paper in the same colourway
  • White A5 base card
  • White card
  • Stampin Up's Piece of Cake stamp set
  • Black ink pad
  • Stamping aid (I use the Stamparatus by Stampin up - this is optional but can help with placing of the greeting stamp)
  • Colouring medium of your choice (I use Promarker pens)
  • Fancy edged rectangular die measuring 5 . 5 cm by 4 cm
  • Glue and double sided foam pads
  • Guillotine

  1. Cut a piece of spot blue paper to 14 cm by 9 . 5 cm

  2. Cut a piece of stripe paper to 9 . 5 cm by 5 cm
    Cut a piece of blue stripe paper and blue spot paper


  3. Glue the spot blue paper to the base card and then glue the stripe paper ontop towards the bottom edge

  4. Stamp 'Happy Birthday' onto the right lower edge of the stripe paper using black ink
    Use the stamparatus to line up the Happy Birthday greeting stamp

    Stamp Happy Birthdya in black ink towards bottom right of spot paper


  5. Stamp a cake onto white card using black ink

  6. Colour in the cake using the promarker pens

  7. Die cut the cake out using the fancy edged rectangular die.  (you can always cut the cake out using a guillotine or scissors if you do not have a fancy edge rectangluar die)
    Stamp a cake using black ink onto white card.  Colour in and die cut out


  8. Attach the cake rectangle to the card front to the left of the greeting using double sided foam pads
    Attach birthday cake to base card using double sided foam pads




This is your finished card. I have made it in two different colourways - it's amazing how different they look just because of the colour.
