Hello my crafty friends! It's time for Karen Burniston's first Designer Challenge of 2022, where she challenged the Design Team with ""BIRTHDAY CAKE" - make a birthday card featuring cake or cupcakes." I combined several different die sets for my pop-up Birthday card and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
The front is nice and flat, since the card will likely be displayed open. Using the frames from the Flip Frame Pop Up and the Celebrate die with patterned paper (retired) my card front was finished.
Inside, I used the Coffee Cup Pop Up as the main feature and added a cupcake from the Cupcake Pop Up onto the right side. What could go better with a cupcake than a hot cup of coffee? ❤️ Finally, I added the Happy Birthday and Happy Birthday Shadow to the cup lid.
I always say that the dies by Karen Burniston play well together, so I pulled out a previously released Cake Trims for the pretty heart border. I cut it from a red mirror card stock and saved the fallaway hearts to decorate the cupcake icing etc.
There is also extra shimmer from a Wink of Stella pen, and of course my Shimmer Spray.
The Slim Frames made a good signing block as well as bringing in a little more solid colour.
The patterned paper package is one I've had in my stash for about 3 years, and I've decided to USE IT instead of hoarding it. You will be seeing a number of cards made with these papers in the coming weeks. 😊
