Birthday cards are my absolute favorite to make, and I go through them the fastest, so I hope you enjoy this idea as much as I do.

• Begin by cutting 2 strips of cardstock - these will form the pop-up pieces
• 1 - 1 1/4 inch x 4 inches then score each end at the 1/2 inch and 1-inch mark
• 1 - 1 1/4 inch x 5 inches then score each end at the 1/2 inch and 1-inch mark, add foam tape to the pop up the base of this layer slightly higher than the top layer
• Cut the top layers for each pop-up piece
• 1 - 1 1/4 inch x 2 inches
• 1 - 1 1/4 inch x 3 inches
• Spread a thin layer of the pink and purple glaze from the Paper Glaze Velvet Soft Pastel Sampler Set onto the top layers. Allow them to dry completely
• Glue the top layers onto coordinating pop-up pieces
• Add "icing" to the top and bottom of the cake layers, and set aside to dry

• Stamp out the candles using the Blow Out the Candles and die cut using the Coordinating Dies
• I colored the candle wicks to make them look like they had been blown out
• Glue the candles to the top of the top layer of cake
• Next, die cut the frame using the Pinking Shear A2 Cover Plate Die and glue that to the card base using foam to elevate the layer
• Stamp out the sentiment from the Blow Out the Candles along the bottom of the panel
• Glue the cake in place
• Add Mixed Sound Waves Gems to decorate the cake
• Stamp the inside sentiments using the stamps from Swanky Sentiments: Birthday and Friendship Matters in Black Hybrid Ink

I had so much fun making this cake, I hope you enjoyed it too. This cake card was made for my God Daughter who just celebrated her 17th birthday and is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Can you tell I got some inspiration from her? Make sure to stop by my Instagram next as I will share how to reel there.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
