The Birthday Goodness stamp set is just TOO CUTE!! I mean, seriously, do you love this donut cake or what??? This is a card we made at my local classes earlier this month, and everyone just loved it!
I’ve used the macaron cake already. If you didn’t see that post, check it out HERE. Do you see the little donut in the set? And, today’s card uses the cute streamer ~ it’s very easy to stamp and adds a bit of fun wherever you use it! Do you see it on the envelope below?
Behind the donut cake panel is another same-sized panel of Blueberry Bushel card stock. Behind that is a piece of Perennial Essence Vellum embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The cake is colored with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers.
Do you like the cards I make? Would you like 5 FREE PDF tutorials of my pretty cards? Well, you’re in luck because I want to give you something special this month! If you place an order of any size from me before August 31, 2019, I will email you 5 FREE PDF tutorials so that you can create cards like mine!
May I suggest for your order the Birthday Goodness stamp that I’ve used on today’s card? It’s so fun ~ you’ll love it! Click on any of the items shown below and it will take you right to my store! 🙂
Oh my goodness, I love these purples! Today’s card uses three of our fabulous purples: Purple Posy, Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape, AND a beautiful tri-color ribbon that features all three!
The card was created using the Wish for it All stamp set. This is a fun set with a cake, candles, a great doily, a crown, and some fun sentiments. It comes as a bundle with amazing coordinating dies AND 10% OFF the individual prices!
This stamp and die set are SO versatile! You can even create an ice cream cone with the dies! Can you figure out how?
Pretty Pointer: Try a new way of light splattering! For this card I used a Blender Pen and got just a bit of ink on the tip of the pen. Then I lightly touched the tip to the Whisper White card stock to create the little dots. Give it a try!

Today’s card is what I’m calling a “column” card. It has one long column running down the front center of the card. I used the Piece of Cake Stamp Set and created a video to show you just how to do it!
This is a fun and easy card to make and works well for guys as well as girls 🙂
Here’s a close up of the other card I showed you in the video. It uses the same happy birthday column, but is a gatefold card. The column fits a bit more proportionately on one of the front “gate” sides of this card.
No matter which design you choose, the birthday column is easier than you think to create. I hope you’ll try it! 🙂
The Winner Has Been Chosen!
In yesterday’s post I offered the card in the post to one of the people who left me a comment. I received 11 great comments – thank you SO much! I used the online Random Number Generator and it chose as the winner:

“Everything arrived today in perfect condition. I love all of the cards, tips, and how your instructions are so easy to follow. I’m so pleased with everything.”  Janice S.
It’s the middle of summer and it’s hot everywhere, whew. And this kiwi fruit seems so refreshing! Who wouldn’t love to receive this card in the middle of summer?
The Slice of Happiness stamp set has really surprised me ~ I’m having lots of fun with it! Today’s card starts with a standard 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Whisper White card base, scored at 4-1/4.” A 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Crumb Cake card stock was embossed with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder. Then a 3-3/4″ x 4″ panel of Whisper White card stock was stamped horizontally across the piece with the kiwi stamp and Granny Apple Green ink. I stamped off each time before stamping on the card stock. The stamped panel was then attached to the right side of the embossed piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next stamp the kiwi stamp on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock with the Granny Apple Green ink at full strength. Use a black Journaling Pen to put little dots on the kiwi fruit, around the white centers 🙂 I used an Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil to draw around the circular outside edge of each kiwi ~ to give the look of the fuzzy skin of the kiwi 🙂 Fussy cut the kiwi(s) with Paper Snips.
Cut a 5-1/4″ x 3/4″ strip of Mango Melody card stock and flag one end with Paper Snips. Adhere it across the card as shown using Multipurpose Glue only on the portion that is over the kiwi piece. Let the left edge of the strip “float” over the embossed piece. Cut a circle from Vellum using the Layering Circled Dies and attach to the kiwi panel (over the Mango strip) using Multipurpose Glue only above the area of the Mango strip and under the area where the cut kiwis will go. Adhere the cut kiwi piece over the Vellum using Multipurpose Glue. Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using Mango Melody ink, cut around the sentiment in a rectangle using Paper Snips. Adhere over the Mango strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a little bow using Linen Thread and adhere with a glue dot under the kiwis.

I’d love to hear what you think about today’s card! Please leave me a comment by clicking the graphic belowÂ
Is this birthday cake cute or what? I LOVE it! It’s made of rows of different colored macarons! (You can pronounce it “mack-a-r-on” or “mack-a-roon” but I prefer the first one.) The cake is all one stamp, which means that YOU can color of the layers of macarons in any colors you like! Oh my goodness, it was so much fun to color with my Stampin’ Blends 🙂 I even colored the cake plate with the Light Soft Sea Foam Blend to look like jadite!
This is a fabulous new stamp set called Birthday Goodness. I’ll be creating more cards from this set in the upcoming days. There’s another cake stamp – made out of donuts – oh my!! Click on the graphic below to learn more 🙂
The card base of today’s card is Whisper White card stock cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2,” scored at 4-1/4.” The first layer is a piece of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper cut 4″ x 5-1/4.” A piece of Melon Mambo card stock and a piece of Whisper White card stock were each cut to 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4.” Angle the Melon Mambo piece with the Whisper White piece on top and clip them together with a White Mini Library Clip. Very lightly dot the upper portion of the Whisper White piece using a Light Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend.
Stamp the macaron cake stamp on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Color the layers in your favorite colors of Stampin’ Blends. Fussy cut the finished cake using Paper Snips. Wrap some Rose Metallic Thread as shown in my video below, and attach to the cake using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then attach the cake directly to the Whisper White panel. Adhere the entire cake panel to the left side of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment in VersaMark ink on a scrap of Basic Black card stock. Emboss with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool. Cut a rectangle around the sentiment, close to the letters. Adhere to the card as shown using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I really like birthday cards with a subtle but fun message; this is a fun stamp set 🙂 If you need a fresh, new birthday stamp set, this is the one!
Thank you for stopping by today! Now go stamp a card! 🙂
