Birthday Cake Thank You Sleeves

Few things are as iconic as birthday cake and ice cream! I kept that in mind when I was designing these cute little birthday thank you sleeves.

I purchased the Birthday Cake Little Debbie snack cakes from Walmart (8 cakes for ~$2.00) and decided to fancy them up with some cute stamped and paper outfits! I made these as thank you gifts for my in-laws  for hosting a surprise birthday party for me--so sweet!

See the measurements, hints, and video to make these on your own!





Supplies Needed

Sweet Ice Cream Bundle (Punch, DSP, and stamp set)

Blending Brush (to brush pool party ink in an arch around the top of the Basic White

Stampin' Pad Ink Colors: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Pool Party 

Basic White Cardstock: 1.25" x 4.75"

Pool Party Cardstock: 5" x 5.25" scored at 0.75", 2.25", 3", and 4.5" 

  • Cut the last scored section in half to make the final scored section 3/8" wide
  • I made my boxes a bit 'tighter' so that the cakes wouldn't fall out. If you want to increase the sides of the box to 1" so there is more room in the sleeve, you could always use a ribbon tied around the box and under the ice cream cone to hold the cake in the sleeve!

Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper 0.75" x 4.75" for the sides, and for the ice cream scoop

Wink of Stella

*Another idea would be to use the clay embellishments that come with the bundle to top your ice cream with some sprinkles! :)

Falling in Love with Soft Seedlings

Image
 It's fall! The cool, crisp weather is starting to arrive (at least in the mornings and evenings) and everyone in my neighbor has embraced Halloween decor.  In honor of the season and to slow myself down from full speed running into Christmas, I have made four lovely, Fall projects with the Soft Seedlings stamp set (p. 53 Jul-Dec Mini Catalog).  I made these at a virtual event this October and wanted to share all the details and measurements with you!  I usually stage my photos in a more pleasing way, but you will have to forgive my photographic shortcomings--it's an entirely gray day and I have just a bit today to make this post happen!
