BIG Birthday Cake Card: Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I’m doing partial stenciling to create a masculine birthday card (we can never have too many of those, right?).
I’m using the Big Birthday Stencils Set – this is a fabulous set of 5 stencils to ink blend one large birthday cake to fill an A2 card. I didn’t want to ink blend a full cake, I needed a slightly different cake, a smaller one, so I used only a part of this stencil – the top cake tier.
I ink blended the cake using Seafoam, Surf, Ocean and Charcoal inks. You need 4 ink colors here as the stencils allow you to add beautiful shading to your cake, you can skip the shading, but I think it is that shading that makes this cake look so unique! And delicious, too!
The stencil set comes with candles to add on top of your cake, I wanted to have different candles on my card – long and skinny. I used a skinny stripe stamp (from Cotton Candy Wishes stamp set, any skinny stripe stamp would work) to create 5 candles, I simply stamped them in Pearfection ink. Next, I ink blended the candle flame using Citrine and Honey inks.
To create the sentiment, I stamped “Make it Epic” in Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair ink overlapping part of the cake and added “It’s your birthday” along one of the candles. I also stamped sparkles in Charcoal ink overlapping the candles.
To add texture and pattern to the candles, I used a white pen and drew simple shapes – lines and dots. I trimmed this panel to 3 ¾” x 5” and foam mounted it on to A2 Sea Glass card base. Lastly, I embellished my card with Rainbow Splash Drops. Love the result! Have fun crafting!
