Good morning and happy Friday! Melissa is here with the most gorgeous birthday card project for a little inspiration Friday! But before we get to that, some fun news…we have some new spring goodies coming to the shop next week!
Today I’m sharing the first sneak peek of our Spring Fling collection that will hit the shop next Thursday, February 29 at 10am ET. It’s a smaller release, but chock-full of pretty things for spring, Easter, and moms. We’ll be blog hopping and showcasing everything next week Tuesday and Wednesday before the new goodies hit the shop on Thursday.
What do you spy in today’s peek? 🙂
Now for Melissa’s amazing project using our Takes the Cake product suite…
Today I’m using some of my very most favorite Greetery products!
I began with the Embroidered Background stamp to create my soft, subtle card base. I wanted to be sure it didn’t detract from my focal point. I then used the Window Dressing Dotted Scallops die to cut a window from my background, layering it over my card base. Next came the beautiful Takes the Cake stamp + stencil, Floral Details, Banner, and Cake Stand dies. This gorgeous cake comes together so quickly and easily. I added some sweet Buttercream Toppers to finish! A perfect birthday card for someone special!

Wow. I don’t know how you can continually create such beautiful new releases.
I can almost taste that cake! Gorgeous!
This is so delightful in every way! And YUMMY!
Can you imagine opening this card ? Beautiful!
I spy a lovely basket to put my new freshly picked spring bouquet!!!
LOVELY WORK, Melissa! I ALWAYS enjoy your technique! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! 😉
As for the Sneak Peak, I’m LOVING IT! I spy a basket die with a handle, Lilacs, New sentiments, & maybe even a label for the basket??? I am a basket lover, so I’m HAPPY! 😉
This beautiful card has my heart ❤️. I’m thinking about all the occasions this card design can be used. Kudos Melissa for another amazing creation. Truly one of my favorites.
It might be easier on all of us if I just sign over paychecks to you in the future. 😁 I love the sneak peek items and Missy, that cake is ASTONISHINGLY beautiful!! WOW! Looks so real I could slice a piece! Great post!

So pretty. Cannot wait. I am pleased to see it is a small release. I am still playing with the last release.
What a pretty window card Melissa! So many extra touches on your cake, background and beautiful colors! 👏😊
Yay for Spring and the new release! I spy snowdrops (had to look that one up), lilacs (Love the leaves!) and carrying Baskets. Looks like some weaving and at first glance, maybe a planter’s box? Can’t wait! 😊
I must purchase the Snowdrops and the Lilacs. Wow- this looks to be a pretty release.
Beautiful card. Looks like this release is going to be amazing.
You always amaze me, Melissa.
That basket was my absolute from Stamp Joy, Betsy! I can’t wait to add on the rest of the release – the hydrangeas?!? All the heart eyes! <3
Melissa’s card is so beautiful! I just love ideas for this gorgeous stencil/stamp/die set!! At first glance, I thought I spied Hydrangeas, but I think the leaves are more Lilacs. Definitely need the Snowdrops and a basket to put those cut florals in! 🙂
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CARD!!! I ALSO SPY SNOWDROPS IN THE SNEAK PEEK AND I’M OVER THE MOON ABOUT IT, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE LILACS BUT YOUR ADDING SNOWDROPS AS WELL!!!!!! THEY WERE A FAVORITE OF MINE, MY MUM HAD BUNCHES OF THEM IN HER GARDEN IN SCOTLAND, I’M NOW IN NC AND HAVEN’T HAD MUCH LUCK WITH THEM. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE YOU’RE ADDING TO IT. I LOVE FLORAL. ❤️
The beauty of your products and pictures inspire me! You have become my favorite of all the other brands!
Beautiful cake colors and I love the way you used the buttercream cake toppers–very creative. Your use of the dotted scallops die really adds nice detail too. For the sneak peak, I love the delicate sentiments, they are beautiful. And I think those are lilacs….stunning lilacs! And I also love the stamped snow drops. Such pretty things at a time (February in the North) when they are desperately welcome! Can’t wait for the full reveal and the release!
All the beauty of Springtime. Lilacs and what a lovely little basket too! Melissa your birthday card is so scrumptious!! Love all the color and those swirls of buttercream are gorgeous. Nice job!
Such an adorable birthday card. I love the cake stand die. It’s one of my faves. I recently used it to make a sweet 16 birthday card and the recipient loved it. The sneak peek has so many lovely images. I love the lilacs and what appears to be a lattice work background. I see something woven which is intriguing. I also love what looks like baskets. Can’t wait to see the full reveal.
I spy some beautiful snowdrop flowers and something purple. Can’t wait!
Gorgeous flowers and scrumptious cake!
I spy lilacs…. My favorite flower! 🥰
Wow! What a beautiful birthday card! 💛🩷
So ready for Spring love love So many things already…
