Happy Cake Day Birthday Card

There’s something about a cake card that instantly feels festive, and this one is no exception. The Cake Day bundle makes it easy to create bold, layered birthday cards that still feel polished and intentional. I love how changing up the colors gives this design a completely different vibe while keeping the layout simple and fun.

This handmade birthday card features the Cake Day bundle from Stampin’ Up! The layered cake is die cut and pops beautifully against the rich Pretty Peacock card base. I paired it with Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for a soft, cohesive look, then added Lemon Lolly for the candles to bring in a pop of brightness.

The sentiment stretches across the cake for a clean focal point, and the subtle background details add interest without overpowering the design. This color combination feels fresh, modern, and great for all ages.

When working with layered die cuts like this cake, stick to a tight color palette. Using several shades from the same color family helps the layers stand out while keeping the card from feeling too busy.
