A Sale-A-Bration Birthday Cake — Monday Montage #156 |

Welcome to another Monday Montage blog hop! We are a group of stampers who love to share what we create with you, and all you have to do to follow along is click on the links at the bottom of each post.

I needed to make a birthday card so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to ink up one of the new Sale-a-Bration stamp sets, Happy Birthday to You. I think the flowers on this cake are just gorgeous and I knew they would be fun to color.

I started by stamping the cake image twice onto Thick Whisper White Cardstock with Memento black ink. On one image I colored the flowers and on the other image I colored the cake.

On February 4, Stampin’ Up! will offer a Coordination Product Release, which will include some new products that will coordinate with a few of the mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog products. One of these offerings will be a set of dies that coordinate with the Happy Birthday to You stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I used three of these dies on this card.

I die-cut the flowers from one of the cakes I had stamped and die cut the other cake with another die. I then die-cut the cake stand from some silver foil card stock using a third die.

I placed the die-cuts on a card base that was lightly sponged with some Balmy Blue ink. A strip of dsp from the Sale-a-Bration Golden Honey Specialty DSP pack was added along the side.
