Poppystamps and John Next Door birthday cake card

 



Hello everyone, and welcome to a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.


This time we are looking for birthday cards, and I came up with this card for a friend's 80th birthday.



I used the John Next Door Leaping Stag Circle Dies for the frame, which I cut in white and laid over some silver mirri card. Next came a die-cut circle, embossed with a star embossing folder from Creative Craft. I then cut the Poppystamps cake easel card die. On this occasion, I only used the large cake, cut in brown as a chocolate cake, and cut the icing from pink glitter card. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, and the tiny banner is from my leftover box. I toyed with putting the number on the card but decided against. I know some people like to celebrate the number, while others would rather forget it, so I only use the numbers for younger people these days.

The design team has some great inspiration for you on the ATSM blog, and you can enter your card over there if you want to join in the fun.

I'd like to play along at
