There are LOTS of ways to enter either a Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast Stampers, or Instagram).


I love this Cake Day paper pack its so bright and colourful and the colour dare colours this week are so fun. I couldn't choose just 3 of them so I picked the paper with all the colours.

I decided on a front fold card (which is super hard to photograph because lying flat it looks boring and not at all interesting. 

The White Daisy Cardstock is 8.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches long and scored/folded at 2.25 from each end. Then I cut the Cake Day paper down to 2 inches wide by 5.25 inches so I could meet the paper in the centre fold so it looks more like a hidden opening. 

Then I cut a Cake Day—Scrapbooking Stamp + Thin Cuts B-Day Bash cake thin cut out in White Daisy Cardstock and then stamped in Wild Berry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad

I also used the Wild Berry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad to ink the edges of the outside of the paper, not the inside opening to maintain the hidden opening. 

I only put Air Touch Adhesive on the left half of the cake thin cut so it can still open and hangs over half on the other side (my words don't feel very smooth with this today - its kinda hard to explain a 3D element). My middle opening card is almost a trick card with a hidden opening, I plan to give this to my Mother-in-Law for her Birthday tomorrow so hopefully its not too mean and she can work out how to open it :) 

I finished it off with 3 clear diamantes (bling bling bling!) which are a little hard to see in the photo.

  2. Hadn't seen your card until I was finishing the post last night and we both did a gate-fold, your birthday stamp was perfect for your focal point. Fun and pretty card.
