2 Cupcake Birthday Card Ideas with the Just Add Cake Cardmaking Kit

Hello friends! Nichol Spohr is here  with a couple of birthday cards featuring the incredible Just Add Cake Box . If you’re like me, birthday cards are something that I always need a lot of and something I always like to have on hand! I love that with the Just Add Cake box you can mix and match to create incredible celebration cards whether you use just the kit or mix and match with your favorite Spellbinders products you have in your craft stash. 2 Cupcake Birthday Card Ideas with the Just Add Cake Cardmaking Kit Today I’m featuring the Light the Candles die set from the box for a couple of cupcake themed designs. First, we are going to showcase the components from the box for a 5” x 7” quadrant-style cupcake card and then we’re going to grab some favorite Spellbinders basics for an arch-shaped cupcake card. Let’s get started!

Watch the video below or on the Spellbinders YouTube channel :

A quadrant-style card is one of my favorites as it gives such a balanced look, especially when using repeating design elements, like the cupcakes! I wanted the background of my card to have some texture so I used the Confetti Drop 3D Embossing Folder from the Just Add Cake box , added some Lime Zest splatter, and then used the Light the Candles and Chompster (cupcake and candle) dies to build each quadrant of my design. Small touches like the additional small cupcake and florals/greenery around the base of a couple of the cupcakes soften the quadrant effect while inviting interest to the overall design. Greetings from the Just Add Cake Stamps and dies grouped together is the perfect finishing touch. Simple shaped cards are always a favorite of mine. The subtle interest and matching the card shape to the die elevates any design. love to use some of the larger dies from any of the nesting die sets from spellbinders for shaped cards. I used the Essential Arches and Color Block Accent Arches to create the base of my card and then filled the arched shape with the Light the Candles die cut images. I love using the Glimmer with some of Spellbinders sentiment dies and the Make It Count Sentiments from the box look amazing glimmered. I paired the glimmered greeting with a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Just Add Cake Stamp Set to round out the card.

Thank you so much for joining me today for some cupcake-themed birthday card ideas using the Just Add Cake box. Remember to think outside the box and use these dies for other celebrations and seasons, too! Happy creating!
