Directions:
- First trim down your white cardstock paper 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.
