I made these cards for our Team Swap last month. “Build a Birthday” is a fun and versatile set, and I especially love the script sentiment. I CASEd the layer cake from Stampin’ Up! Artisan Keith Rueda. See her original card here.
I used Cherry on Top colors and paper for my cards. The lighting is a little off in this picture – the background circle is Watermelon Wonder. The layers of the cake are Pool Party, Cucumber Crush and Crushed Curry. I stamped each layer on Whisper White, and then cut them out with scissors, leaving extra length for folded tabs on each end.
I attached Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace Trim to the underside of the Pool Party layer with sticky strip. I forced some gathers in the lace as I attached it to the sticky strip. The layer is attached over a fussy-cut cake pedestal (also part of the stamp set), and the bulk of the lace forces a slightly rounded cake layer. The other layers are almost flat on the card, but they are also attached to allow a slightly rounded shape.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
