My Favorite Things – Birthday Cake Take Two

Hello! Today I am sharing a second card featuring the My Favorite Things Birthday Cake die set. On this card, I incorporated the My Favorite Things Confetti stencil set. You can see the first card I created with this die set here.

My Favorite Things - Birthday Cake Take Two

  • I cut the cake layers, cake plate, and decorations from white, yellow, and pink cardstock. The decorative pieces were glued. I assembled the cake stack by taping the layers together on the back.
  • I stenciled the confetti in Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass inks. The set contains two stencils.
  • I stamped the sentiment (from the You Wow Me stamp set) with Picked Raspberry ink on the stenciled panel.
  • To help the cake stand out from the stenciled background, I die-cut a circle.
  • The assembled cake was added to the circle with foam adhesive. The circle was added to the card base with foam adhesive.

It’s Your Birthday – CAS Die-cut Birthday Cake

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS birthday card featuring the My Favorite Things Birthday Cake die set. It’s a versatile set – you can easily change up the look just by changing the colors. How about coordinate the card colors to a birthday party’s color scheme? I went with a favorite combo of mine – yellow, orange, and teal blue.

  • I cut the frame from Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock.
  • I cut the cake layers, cake plate, and decorations from Bazzill Marshmallow Chick, Circus Peanut, Candy Necklace, and Marshmallow cardstock. The decorative pieces were glued. I assembled the cake stack by taping the layers together on the back.
  • I stamped the sentiment with black  on to Bazzill Robin’s Egg cardstock and trimmed the panel slightly smaller than the A2-sized frame.
  • The assembled cake was added to the stamped panel with foam adhesive.

A WOW Birthday

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS birthday card in bright colors (for whatever reason I’m drawn to bright colors this past week). Let’s take a look.

A WOW Birthday

  • To begin, I die-cut the Paper Smooches balloons, the balloon strings (retired Taylored Expressions set), and the MFT Stamps WOW sentiment. I chose colors (Simon Says Stamp Lipstick Red and SU Daffodil Delight; I don’t know the manufacturer of the orange cardstock) to coordinate with the Echo Park patterned paper.
  • I heat-embossed the birthday sentiment on SU Tempting Turquoise cardstock. The sentiment panel and patterned paper panel were cut to be equal height so that the WOW letters were positioned between the two.
  • I assembled the papers on to a larger piece of white cardstock.  I then adhered the WOW letters with dot adhesive and the balloons (which I assembled with liquid adhesive) to the panel with foam adhesive.
  • The panel was added to a linen-textured card base.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Geometric Die-cut Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS birthday card created with dies. I have been looking at quilt patterns lately. I don’t quilt, but it’s a craft I have considered taking up. Although this card isn’t quilt-themed, I used color and repetition (used a lot in quilting) in its design.

  • For the background, I cut white cardstock with the Lil’ Inker Designs 4.25″ square die and dry-embossed the square with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’.
  • I cut the My Favorite Things Block Happy Birthday sentiment from Stampin Up’ cardstock and adhered the letters to the square with glue.
  • I used a now retired Avery Elle die to cut the rounded diamond shapes from Stampin Up’ colored cardstock. I cut the shapes in the corners in half. I adhered the pieces to the card base with Scotch Dot Roller adhesive.

Frog-themed Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card created for a special crafty friend who likes frogs. She customizes her handmade cards based on the recipients’ interests, professions, etc. and the ideas that she has shared sound amazing. I had been mulling over different winter birthday ideas (such as Happy BRRRthday) but threw them out the window and went with the frog theme instead.

I figured if you like frogs, the more the merrier! I used patterned paper from my stash for the background within the Avery Elle Photo Mat as well as for the card base. The MFT sentiment is not from a birthday set, but I thought it would be a fun one to use.
