Papertrey Ink/Ink to Paper Flash Sale {Cake Creations}

Happy new week, friends! I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season!  We've got the house all decorated, the Christmas songs playing, candles flickering, movies playing, and we're feeling downright jolly! I hope you are, too! I mentioned a month or so ago that I had finished all of the birthday cards for the kiddos at church, but I decided to make some age-specific ones for the last 2 girls of the year using the fun and beautiful Cake Creations stamp set. The sale will run from today at noon until Wednesday at 4 pm ET. 

Stamps: Cake Creations stamp set

INK Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Lilac Grace, Winter Wisteria

PAPER: Lilac Grace, Sweet Blush

Dies: Cake Creations...I also used Nesting Basics: Pierced Rectangles and Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles but I'm not certain if they're on sale. You can use the links to check when the sale goes live.

As you can see, I made two nearly identical cards. I used gold glitter cardstock to die cut the cake stands and the number cake toppers. I love this little detail that brings some fun and festive birthday sparkle!

I die cut all of the flowers and cake pieces and stamped them using my mini MISTI assembly line style to get the job done quickly.

I also added the "happy birthday" sentiment directly onto the cake portion using black ink for contrast. Once that was done, I was ready to get the focal pieces put together.

I love the detail on the Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles and it reminds me of what a cake platter could look like, if you're looking at it from the top. It gives a nice, subtle detail without distracting the eye from the cake.

I used foam squares single and double thick to achieve the dimension I was hoping for. Once I had the cake, numbers, and flowers arranged, I got to work on the background panels.

I used two different sizes from the Nesting Basics: Pierced Rectangles to add the detail around the Lilac Grace and Sweet Blush panels.

I added the panels to white A2 card bases using foam squares and then added the focal panel to that using additional foam squares for maximum dimension.

I added some glitter and sequins to finish off these two birthday designs! Thanks for fluttering by!
