I like this cake die from Pretty Pink Posh. It makes it really easy to color the frosting a different color than the cake because it has layers dies to add to the top.
I ink blended the cake and candles with a couple of pink inks from Simon Says Stamp. The frosting top and center were ink blended brown. Who doesn't love chocolate. They were adhered in place with liquid glue.
The die set has a confetti die. It was cut from silver mirror cardstock a couple of times and scattered around the cake. I cut just the bottom of the cake die where it has the plate from silver mirror cardstock and cut off the top of the plate and adhered it in place with liquid glue.
Silver mirror cardstock was used to cut out the sentiment as well.
I decided I wanted to make a shaker card, so I used the double stitched arch die from My Favorite Things and cut it from the center of a quarter sheet of white cardstock. I also used a stitched rectangle die to make it just smaller than an A2 cardbase. A piece of acetate was adhered behind the arch opening with dotliner adhesive.
To add visual interest behind the arch a panel of white cardstock was cut just smaller than the arched rectangle and then ink blended through the Hero Arts Streamer Stencil.
3M 1/2" Foam Tape was added to the back of the arch rectangle. Pink sequins were added into the well and the stenciled panel was adhered in place by removing the backing on the foam tape. It was then adhered to a top folding white A2 cardbase with dotliner adhesive.
The cake was adhered in place with dotliner adhesive. I find this works well on acetate because it doesn't slide and move like liquid glue does. The sentiment was adhered on the bottom of the frame, overlapping the cake.
