Cake? The answer is always YES!

I love everything about the Wildflower Birthday Collection of products, the colors used, hint of gold and the patterns of the Designer Series Paper, stamp set and dies.

The card has a simple layout, I used a favorite die set (Encircled Dies) to create the base for the fussy cut cake.

Cutting

Thick Basic White: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4

Blueberry Bushel: 5 1/4 x 4

Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper: 5 x 3 3/4

Basic White: 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for die cut circle and 3/4 x 2 for sentiment

Assembly

Adhere the Blueberry Bushel Cardstock to the Thick Basic White card base. Then adhere the Designer Series Paper to the Blueberry Bushel.

Adhere the die cut circle to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Top with a cake fussy cut from the Designer Series Paper with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel Ink and trim up. Attach under the cake with Stampin' Dimensonals.

With 8 inches of Pretty in Pink Ribbon tie a bow and attach to the side of the Circle Die with Glue Dots.

Finish the card off with a few Party Dots. I use the putty end of the Take Your Pick Tool to keep the glue and dot together and it makes it simple to adhere to the right spot on your card.

Hope you enjoy this idea!

Mixed Floral Card

A simple card layout fancied up with a new embossing folder and leaf sprig colored with Stampin' Blends. The Mixed Florals Bundle and coordinating Designer Series Paper are a must have for me!

Cutting

Afternoon Azure: 5/1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

Basic White: (2) 4 x 5 1/4, run one through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Specialty Plate and Plaster Painting Embossing Folder; 1 3/4 x 2 3/4, die cut label; 3 1/2 x 1 1/2

Mixed Media Floral Designer Series Paper: (2) one each of two patterns, 3 x 4 1/4

Assembly

Adhere the Embossed Basic White Paper to the Afternoon Azure card base, use a lot of adhesive since the embossed paper is very textured. Stamp 2 of the leaf sprigs on the other piece of Basic White with Tuxedo Black Ink, color with Stampin' Blends and attach to the inside of the card base.

Adhere pattern 1 of the Designer Series Paper at the angle on the front of the card and attach pattern 2 centered on the card front.

On the die cut label, stamp the greeting using Afternoon Azure ink and attach to the Designer Series Paper with Stampin' Dimensionals. Stamp the leaf sprig in Tuxedo Black on the small Basic White, color with Stampin' Blends and die cut. Attach next to the label with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Add Low Profile Dots to the label, using the Take your Pick Tool.

Write a note inside the card and send to a special friend.

Enjoy!
