It’s wedding
season, well at least near the end of wedding season and we have a fun and easy
wedding cake card that is inspired by the Brusters Wedding Cake ice cream
flavour. We have made a similar card like this in the past but have never
blogged about it. We’re making two versions, a simple rustic one and one that’s
more elegant and colourful. You don’t need fancy machines for this card and you
don’t even need to stamp!
Gather some
supplies to get started. You’ll need some cardstock. For our rustic card, we’ve
gone with a cream coloured “cake” and greens and red for the rest of the card.
For the more elegant card, we chose a white “cake” and then blue and a pinky
purple colour.
We’ve cut the cards to the usual 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inch size.
Then we have
layers measuring 6 ¼ x 4 ¼ inches.
Then we cut out our cake tiers. The top is 1 ½ x 2, the middle is 2 ¼ x 2 ¼, and the bottom tier is 3 ¼ x 2. If you have a machine like a Silhouette then feel free to use it to do your cutting.
Next we
glued the layers on overlapping them while doing so and then glued that layer onto our cards.
Lastly, to
elevate the cards a bit, we added some embellishments. Feel free to make it as
elaborate as you want and you can add some stamping, ribbon, embellishments,
etc. whatever you like. We started with ribbon on both.
On the more elegant colourful card we added a bow topper on top along with simple white sparkly flower embellishments.
On our
rustic simple card we added a ribbon bow on top and matching thin brown ribbon
between the tiers of the cake. We left it at that to keep it simple as possible but it still has a finished feel.
There you
have it, two really simple to make wedding cake cards.
