I was prepping some projects for a SAS I'm doing for a hostess this weekend and remembered I had intended to use the layout from one of the Christmas cards as a birthday card. You can see my original card HERE. I took that layout and inspiration and created this card:
I created the cake with 1/2" wide strips of Silver Glimmer paper, alternated with 1/2" strips of Strawberry Slush Designer Collection Paper. I adhered it to a layer of Pink Pirouette Designer Collection Paper. The Silver Glimmer paper I used Tombow glue to adhere it because it has a plastic-y backing that SNAIL adhesive won't stick to.
I really like the candles and flames for this cake. I flipped the Strawberry Slush polka-dot paper over and punched it with the candle of the Cupcake Builder punch. I really like how the chevron-pattern of the paper mimics the swirls on birthday candles. I punched a Silver Glimmer paper scrap with the flames of the Cupcake Builder punch. I adhered the candles and the flames to the card with Tombow glue that I applied to the pieces with a toothpick.
The Strawberry Slush-stamped greeting is from Remembering Your Birthday. I cut it out with a Chalk Talk Framelit, and added a Whisper White Organza bow with a Glue Dot.
Inside I continued the pink-sprinkley theme with a "happy birthday" from the same Remebering Your Birthday set, and added "my friend" from Six Sided Sampler. I punched Silver Glimmer paper and Strawberry Slush Designer Collection paper with the Cupcake Builder Punch again for my final embellishment.
That's all for now! I wish one of my granddaughter's birthdays' was not so far away, I can hardly wait to give them this card!
