Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today, I am sharing three festive gift card holders made for the Birthday challenge hosted by Art Impressions! These projects feature the new Birthday Cake GCH die set. Check out all the new 2021 products from Ai here. These projects are featured on the Art Impressions blog today as well, check them out here.
The Birthday Cake GCH die set contains decorative pieces that coordinate with the Envelope GCH die set. First, I die cut three envelopes with festive papers from the Pink Paislee Birthday Bash 6×6 Paper Pad.
Pastel Cake
I used several oxide inks to blend the pastel/unicorn themed cake including: Shaded Lilac, Broken China, Kitsch Flamingo, and Cracked Pistachio. I used white glitter cardstock to create the cake icing. I used a gold shimmer brush to add glitter to the light purple cupcake and the candle flame.
Yellow Cake
For my second gift card holder I wanted to create a more simple cake with solid color cardstock. I used Mustard Seed ink to distress the edges and add the splatter effect onto the cake. The splatter effect was used to make the yellow cardstock look like spongey cake. I used light blue cardstock to create the cake icing. I used a gold shimmer brush to add glitter to the bright pink cupcake and the candle flame.

Rainbow Cake
I used several oxide inks to blend the rainbow themed cake including: Kitsch Flamingo, Barn Door, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, and Peacock Feathers. I used white glitter cardstock to create the cake icing. I used a gold shimmer brush to add glitter to the light blue cupcake and the candle flame.
