Birthday Cake
Hi readers! Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Today I’m pleased to bring you two gorgeous cards made by the one and only Kathy Racoosin showing you a variety of tips, tricks, & techniques using some fun Simon Says Stamp exclusive products.
Enjoy!
To create a beautiful and texture background use the scalloped circle from the Cake & Congrats die cut set and die cut enough to cover your background. Use an embossing folder to give the circles lots of texture. Glue onto white cardstock and trim off an access circles.
Die cut several cakes. trim and stack to your liking. add color with copic markers, stamp flowers, color and add enamel accents to the flower centers. color only the brown cake (not the flowers) with wink of stella. Add glossy accents to the cake plate.
Cut off the letters of the birthday sentiment that you want to use. in my case “B. day” glue the letters on a strip of vellum and pink cardstock and place on your card base.
Using my leftover cake I created a quick masculine cake card. I colored the scallop part of the cake plate to make it more masculine and trimmed part of the stand on the cake plate. Stamp a background with smoke & green apple ink.
Have some fun and draw some dripping chocolate frosting on the cake layers. Color , add glossy accents to the flames and glue candles on to the cake. cut some banners and stamp the sentiments.

Beautiful cards. I just love Cathy’s work. Love the colors and the detail.
Such an amazing inspiration. Love everything about this cakes… I mean cards :)
These cake cards are delicious–the first one so flowery and feminine, adore it! The second would be perfect for a masculine card–I’m struggling to make my son a BD card today–trying to find some inspiration!
I love the “embossed look” of the white paper and the “stacked” cakes :) Adorable :)
What great cards!!!
Love everything… but mostly that embossing folder. New one to me and my favorite way to pop up die cuts!
So many great ideas to take away from these fab cards.
Your card is lovely!!!
Wonderful cake cards. Love the tall stack on the first one.
Super cute cards:) Love the apple green on the 2nd card, really made the card stand out:) Thanks for the inspiration.
Peace, Love, & Creative Hugs!
