Sponge Painted Birthday Cake Cards Supplies:
* Colored Cardstock
* White Cardstock
* Adhesive Tape Runner or Glue Stick
* Pink/Purple Yellow Craft Paint
* Large Paper Plate
* Brand New Kitchen Sponge {clean/any size}
* Scissors/Paper Trimmer
* Scrapbook Letter Stickers/Sharpie Markers
You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link
Directions:
* First trim down your white cardstock so it will fit on the front of your pre-made cardstock cards. One piece for each card.
* Once trimmed down, go ahead and glue those to the front of each card with your adhesive.
* Repeat for each card you are making today.
* Now grab your kitchen sponge.
* Cut out a simple RECTANGLE piece for your cake slice {see our picture above} It can be any size you like, just as long as it’s not bigger than your card.
* Now grab your paper plate and craft paint.
* Squirt a little pink, purple and yellow craft paint on the paper plate.
* Take your newly made “stamp” and rub it into the paint {but not too much or it will all blend to much together} until your sponge is completely covered.
* Then take it and stamp it in the center of the white cardstock.
* Pull up. Add another “stamp” on top of that, for another layer of “cake.”
* Set aside and repeat for each card.
* Next grab your Sharpie markers and draw “candles” coming from your cake.
* To finish off the birthday cake themed cards, add your scrapbook stickers/use Sharpie markers around the cake design to say “Happy Birthday” or any other saying you like.
* Finally – write a sweet message inside and mail away to the lucky receiver!!!
Extra Craft Tip – instead of a kitchen sponge, try thinking outside the box with your stamp. Use potatoes, apples or craft foam scraps to make your rectangle shape.
