Recently I had an order for three birthday cards. I was given some things the parties were interested in. This card was for a retired teacher who also loves the Iowa Hawkeyes. One of our granddaughters had attended Iowa and I still had some black and gold papers from that time.
I had dies for numbers with a "candle" on the top of them so I thought I would try to make the front of the card look like a layered cake.
The card base measures 6 1/2" x 5" when folded. It is from a package of card bases & envelopes sold by Michael's. They are a little light weight and when the outside is layered, it helps give the inside stability by adding some layers inside as well. I punched some balloons and added them to layers that I inserted to make the inside a little more decorative.
Thank you for coming by today!

Great idea for a personalized card! I knew immediately that was a layered birthday cake, so you definitely achieved the look you were going for. The recipient is going to love it!
