Strawberry-topped Birthday Cake Slice Card

 Hello crafty friends! Today I have a beautiful piece of cake with strawberries on top on the desert menu! I've used the super fun Birthday Cake A2 Card Base Honey Cuts to create my slice of yum and the Freshly Picked Stencil for the strawberries!! I've even added "icing" with texture paste! Read on for the details!

The first thing I did was die cut the Birthday Cake A2 Card Base from 110# Neenah. Then I used my scissors to cut the top off along the scored line. Now for the fun part. You will need a craft mat, some texture paste, a few drops of Picked Raspberry Distress re-inker, one drop of Candied Apple re-inker. Put a good sized dollop of texture paste onto your mat. Then add the Distress re-inker drops. Then I used a palette knife to mix in the colors and spread it onto my die cut cake. I set the piece aside to dry and cleaned up my tools. Here's a photo of it after it was dry.

I die cut another Birthday Cake from 110# Neenah and adhered the texture paste layer to the card front with Bee Creative glue. I put a large stamp block on top of it to weight it down while the glue dried.

Next I die cut the cake layers die included in the Birthday Cake A2 Card Base set from 80# Neenah. I used my Copic markers to color each layer. I used E57, E35, E33, and E31. Then I used each marker again to add dots of color to add texture to the layers. This makes such a difference in the look of the slices!

Next I made the strawberries with the Freshly Picked stencil, sponge daubers, and some Distress Inks. The strawberry is Candied Apple Distress Ink and Versafine Onyx Black (seeds) and Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the leaves on the berries. I love that the stencil includes the little seeds on the berries! Then I used the leaf stamp from the Freshly Picked stamp set and stamped it in Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. I used the Freshly Picked stencil to color them in with sponge daubers. I used the coordinating Honey Cuts to die cut the pieces.

I arranged them on the top of the cake slice and adhered with Bee Creative glue and foam dots. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Wishes set in Versafine Onyx black ink, sprinkled on clear embossing powder, and heat set it. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added foam dots to the back to adhere them on my card.

Check out the inside of the card!

The sentiment is also from the Birthday wishes set.  I stenciled on some strawberries for a cute decorative touch!

I hope you've enjoyed my treat of a card today!  Thanks so very much for stopping by!

Happy Thursday my friends!  It's still so hot, and humid, here in Texas and I'm not yet in the mood for making a fall themed card!  So, I've used Honey Bee Stamps new Freshly Picked stamps and Honey Cuts  along with a favorite of mine that's been out a while, Bushel and A Peck!  

Other than coloring the basket, this card was super quick to put together!  I started with an A2 card base and added a piece of 4" x 5-¼" piece of gingham paper from the Back to Basics paper pad.  I topped that with 80# Neenah that I cut to 3-¾" x 5".  The Bee Creative Precision Tip glue is perfect for this!

I used the basket from the Bushel and A Peck set and stamped it in Copic safe ink.  I wanted a smaller basket, so I fussy the basket and also cut off the top portion.  I colored the bottom of the basket with these Copic colors: E59, E57, E55, E23, and E53.  I added foam tape to the back.  Next I die cut the grass in two shades of green with the Grass Border Honey Cuts.   I adhered one piece to the white layer with glue, and added foam tape along the bottom edge of the top grass piece.

  I used the outline stamp for the strawberry in the Freshly Picked set and stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Next I used the solid strawberry stamps and stamped them out in Concord & 9th's Poppy and Parsley ink--this is a quick and easy way to get your stamped images colored!  I die cut them with the coordinating dies.  I arranged them in the basket, adding foam tape to all but one.  Once I had all the pieces ready, I added them to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pearfect Sentiments set with Versamark onto black card stock.  I added white embossing powder and heat set it and die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cut.  I popped it up with some foam squares.  While I had the sentiment set out, I stamped another sentiment inside the card and used an extra strawberry and strip of gingham paper to finish it off.  For a bit of bling on the card front, I added white gel pen accents to the strawberries, Glossy Accents to the basket, and a few of the oh, so cute strawberries from the Strawberry Daiquiri sequin mix.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I'm not quite done with summer yet, but stay tuned, because soon you will be seeing a lot of autumn cards using some awesome new products!
