Elegant Celebrate Cake

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Cake Shaker die set. This versatile die can be used to create both shaker and non-shaker style cards, as I’ve done here.

I wanted to create a floral decorated cake, so I began by die cutting the previously released Spring Foliage die set from white card. I then coloured the images with copic markers.

Copic colours:
Flowers: YR000 YR00 YR01; Y00 Y11 Y13; RV91 RV93 RV95; R30 R20 R22
Leaves: BG70 BG72 BG75
Candles: Y11 Y13 Y15 Y17 N0 N1 N7
Celebrate banner: N0-1 R30 R20 R22

Next, I die cut the new Cake Shaker die from pearl white sparkle card. I didn’t use the inner die pieces included in the set, which would turn this cake into a shaker. I die cut the candle 3 times from white card and coloured them with copic markers.

The sentiment banner is from the new Big Birthday Cupcake die set. The sentiment is a separate die that can be added to the banner to cut the letters.

I die cut the banner twice with the sentiment, colouring one set in with copic markers, then popping out the letters and layering them over a clean banner. I also added two more layers behind for dimension. I added some light grey copic colour for some shadow detail too.

I adhered some patterned paper to my 6” square card base, leaving a large 1” white border around the edges. 

Next, I adhered the cake in the centre of the card,  followed by the banner. Finally, I decorated the cake with the leaves and flowers.

I hope this card inspired you to dress up your cakes using your floral dies. It really stretches your die and makes it so you can use this for a variety of occasions!
