Sponge Painted Birthday Cake Cards

These little sponge-painted birthday cake cards are so easy to make! The perfect craft idea for kids to recreate this weekend!

Card Supplies:

  • Colored Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Adhesive
  • Craft Paint
  • Large Paper Plate
  • UNUSED Kitchen Sponge
  • Scissors/Paper Trimmer
  • Scrapbook Letter Stickers/Markers

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. 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.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
