A card featuring a big slice of cake immediately screams “Happy Birthday!” The sight of a beautifully decorated cake, with sprinkles and candles, evokes feelings of joy, nostalgia, and festivity. The cards below created with Stampin’ Up!’s Cake Fancy stamps capture the spirit of a birthday celebration, and the warmth of moments shared with loved ones.

The cake is often the centerpiece of a party, baked and decorated in a style specific to the guest of honor. Using the Cake Fancy stamps to create a classic chocolate slice, a whimsical rainbow cake, or a sophisticated tiered confection, you can tailor a card to reflect the personality of the individual recipient. This personal touch makes the card more than just a piece of paper; it becomes a cherished keepsake that can be revisited time and time again, each glance bringing back memories of a special day.

The color scheme for this elegant card features Pretty in Pink, Boho Blue, and Lemon Lime Twist. Using these colors, I crafted a layer cake on white cardstock using the Cake Fancy stamps, then added a Crumb Cake plate. For decorative elements, I utilized my beloved retired dies, Color and Contour, to produce a scalloped edge, which I layered over an embossed piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock onto a white card base. I then added a candle, and fussy-cut flowers. The “Let’s Eat Cake” stamp, part of the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set, evokes a Marie Antoinette vibe.

The color scheme for this lovely card features Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake. With these delightful colors, I stamped a slice of chocolate cake on a plate. Again, using my favorite retired dies, Color and Contour, added a scalloped edge and layered it over a piece of Inked Botanicals DSP in shades of Lost Lagoon. Following this, I stamped the candle, flowers, and birthday sentiment and attached fussy-cut flowers using dimensionals. To add a touch of pizzazz, I adorned the die-cut flower with an Adhesive-back Peral Trio embellishment in the center.

This card’s color scheme showcases the 2024-26 In Colors Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, and Shy Shamrock. Using these delightful colors, I first stamped a layer cake on a plate, then added an arrangement of flowers and greenery on top. I layered it over a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and included the “Let’s Each Cake” sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set, along with the coordinating 2024-26 In Color Resin Dots.

The color scheme for this card features Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon and Berry Burst. I stamped a single layer cake on a plate and then stamped an arrangement of berries with a dollop of whip cream on top. I used Basics Wow clear heat embossing to add depth to the berries and then die cut a circle and layered over another circle of Lost Lagoon cardstock. The circle is centered over a piece of Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper. The background is white cardstock embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder. Finishing touches are added with the sentiment and pearl embellishments.
