Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Cake and Candles stamp set, another fusion of old and new. This birthday themed compilation includes some brand new birthday sentiments with a classy modern font pairing, as well as a few re-introductions of previous sentiments and plain janes.

I actually chose to create a non-traditional birthday card and in all reality, it doesn't even need to BE a birthday card because the sentiment can be used for a generic thinking of you design. I felt like creating something with an organic vibe to it. I think it was those little ferns that got to me again. They are included in the stamp set that was showcased yesterday if you'd like to scroll down to yesterday's post. Such a sweet little image but it really can pack a punch when it is used in the right way. To begin, I created this background using distress oxide ink and a stencil. I really like how it came out. From there, my mind's eye needed some corrugated Kraft paper. So....I dusted off(literally) the old paper crimper and got to work. I can see my crimper getting a little more attention in the future, too. I used to use it quite a bit.
It created the perfect backdrop for the focal sentiment piece that I turned into a tag by adding an eyelet and some hemp. I diecut a trio of the fern images and scattered them across the card. I matted the corrugated panel onto a piece of black paper for some added contrast.
My next design showcases a more traditional use of the set as well as a fun, rainbow stenciled background. It was created using an assortment of oxide inks and a stencil. I trimmed it down slightly to fit onto an A2 card base.
I stamped the cupcake image onto white paper and then colored it using copic markers. After that was done I punched it out with a circle punch and adhered it to a black piece of paper that the sentiment had been heat embossed onto previously. The finishing touch is an assortment of rainbow sparkle gems for some shine. I couldn't resist putting one as a cherry on top of the cupcake.
This last card is a quick one that I decided to make last minute because I just HAD to use this fun saying with the cupcakes! It is a shaker card, but in the end, I didn't add enough sequins. boo hoo! Oh well! It's still cute and gets the point across. I created the windows using square die cuts and then used my MISTI to line up the cupcakes perfectly! They are colored with copic markers and then a litte wink of stella for shine! Thanks for fluttering by!
