Mini Easel Card: Happy Birthday

Jess wanted to give her bestie an early birthday surprise during her stay in Penang. My handmade card was part of the surprise. Feel so grateful!

I made her a card which based on the sketch from Just Add Ink #223 Sketch Challenge.


I thought of a round cake served on a cake board which being cut into 4 pieces when I first saw this sketch. Oh no! I think I was craving for cakes for my supper again! 

Hmm… why not I create a card which a cake serve in the middle of the card since it is a birthday card? But I should not ‘cut the cake’ before blowing candles! Well, it is not necessary for me to cut the paper into pieces in order to follow the sketch. I can decorate the ‘cake’ based on the sketch, am I right?  

Imagine...


Here’s the card I came out with:


The ‘round cake’ in the middle actually is a circle easel card. It was attached to a clear window of a white card. It was like a cake served on a glass cake stand.




The base of the ‘cake’ was embossed to create the dotted surface.  I decorated the ‘cake’ using die cut vines, leaves and DIY roses from pastel color cardstocks.

Here’s the close up of the easel card.



I found a box that perfectly fit this card. No alteration needed as the box was nicely printed. Although the prints were totally different mood or style from my card, it was one of the best solutions when you were in a rush.  I used the washi tapes to cover some wordings and stains.

    1. Thank you, Kim! I'm a cake lover, just like how I love papers, but I never thought I can go to the extend that I will 'move' a cake onto a card... Hehe...
