This week's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut is to make a birthday-themed card or project, such as a banner, centrepiece, layout... You choose! I opted to make a card.
In order to create the white mat for behind the frame, I simply hid the inner contours of the image. After cutting, I ran the white mat through my Cuttlebug, using the Happy Birthday folder. I had to run it through twice, turning at a 90 degree angle in order to emboss the bottom portion of the mat. This folder lends itself quite nicely for that. I then cut the frame itself in black. I added pink gemstones all around the frame as well.
I used some chunky glitter crystals for the cake itself and then layered all the other pieces. I used Pop Dots to adhere the cake to the mat. I punched some corners to match and finally tied on a pink bow for a final touch. I love the way this card turned out - and I hope Robin does too!
Head over to Fantabulous Cricut to wish Robin a happy birthday - and to submit your birthday card creation in this week's challenge.

Kate - this is absolutely adorable. I have this cartridge as well and I need to play with it some more. I am loving the cake and the frame. The embossing is just the perfect touch for the card.

OH Happy Birthday to Robin! Kate, this is absolutely gorgeous! Love the color combo - the pink and black and white are a vision! It's so striking and bold and yet just has such elegance and flair! Well done, so classy and lovely! Thank you, also, for the lovely blog comments - every day is a learning (curve!) experience and I know somehow we'll muddle through :) Blessings to you! xoxo

I really love the whimsical feel to your card Kate. The chunky looking glitter really does look like icing! Ages ago when I bought this cartridge, I thought it would be the only one I'd ever need, it has so much on it. Well, that didn't happen did it! But I really do need to use it more often too.
I love your card!! Thanks for reminding us that our older carts still have very good images on them!!
Hey Kate, I love your Happy Birthday card! I love black, pink and white together... what a fun card. Great job, as always, with the challenge!!!
I don't believe I missed this earlier! How cute is this!
