If you’re in need of birthday inspiration you’ve come to the right place! The team is on a roll using all of the new goodies from our Hip Hip Hooray collection. Wanda is joining us with a sweet project using the Takes the Cake Mini die and lots of other goodies too!
Hello there dear Greetery fans and friends! Wanda here on the blog today! I feel like you can never make enough birthday cards so I’m going to share a fun and colorful birthday card today made with a mix of lots of my favorite Greetery products! My feature is that super adorable Mini Cake from the latest release! I used a bright and vivid tropical color palette and added some sparkle too!
My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used the awesome Delightful Digits Background Die in teal to make the numbers background. I layered it over the white so it really pops. Next I layered on a few banners using the Twisted Crepe Dies. I splashed on silver watercolor paint for a hint of shimmer….
I die cut a white tag using the Tag Team Duo dies for my focal layer. On the tag, I stamped a few yellow starbursts and added rhinestones. Next up, I die cut all the pieces for the cake! I used the Takes The Cake Mini dies and cut out a tropical rainbow of cardstocks to layer. The cake stand is silver cardstock.
To finish up I added a twine bow in matching teal, and made the tiny cake banner out of vellum. I stamped the sentiment in rich black ink using the Takes The Cake stamp set. I really love the font on this set! I assembled the card using foam tape to ‘pop’ up the tag and the cake.
I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, keep on crafting! XO Wanda

Wanda I love this card. It’s so festive!! Question…yellow starbursts???
Hi Jan! That’s what I call them… The small star icons from the Make A Wish Stamp Set. I used them in the background on my tag – around the cake! XO
Beautiful card, Wanda! How did you scallop the tag bottom edge? Thanks!
Hi Lynn! I used some old scrapbooking scissors with a scalloped edge to go along the bottom of the tag! XO
perfect!

What a clever, creative birthday card! I love your design with so many different combinations of beautiful products and fun colors! 😊🎉
Such a fun and fabulous Birthday card, Wanda! Thank you for your always creative design ideas
I love this mini cake! I have a number of July birthdays that need a card (including our grandson). Wanda, this is so festive. I really have Ted in mind as he turns, wait for it… 11 years old!! I want to include red, white, and blue and this really fits the bill for a birthday that’s always a star spangled day in our family. What a super card creation!
