Good morning my crafty friend! I’ve got another quick and easy card for you today. I made a birthday card, but you can use this as a template to create different cards for any occasion. Look for stamps sets with a large focal image, and smaller images for the background. A funny sentiment will pull the whole thing together.
I started by stamping the cake and topper from the new Celebrate with Cake set. I Copic colored the image and cut it out with my ScanNCut. While my markers were still out, I used the same icing colors to color a strip of cardstock for my sentiment banner. I used white powder to emboss a sentiment from Sassy Birthday onto the pink strip and cut it out with a fishtail banner die.
Next, I stamped smaller images from the cake set, along with presents from the Hoggy Holidays set, across the bottom right corner of a cardstock panel, and embossed them with gold powder. Then I filled in some of the space between the images with gold gel pen dots. I also added gold and white gel pen details to the cake.
To assemble the card, I trimmed the panel down to 4″ x 5¼” and popped it up on a white card base with foam tape. I popped the cake and sentiment strip on with more foam tape. For a little sparkle, I glued a few tiny gold star sequins to the background. I really like the negative space in the upper left corner; it feels clean and simple. I also like the narrow white border around the panel. The extra dimension makes the card seem a bit more weighty and elegant.
I’d love to know what you think of this card. Would you use it as a template for birthday cards, or something else?

Such a cute and pretty card. Thanks Amanda!
This is really cute, and SWEET–pun intended. I like how you used bright pink and a peachy color together. Nice
Very pretty card and like you, for me adding the sassy sentiment makes the card special!
I liked the card and ideas to use in another card. Thanks.
Beautiful card Amanda 🙂 I think it would work perfectly for a bridal shower card too sans the sentiment of course!!! It’s lovely! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
