So you can put it in an envelope, mail it off to a friend, and they’ll open it up to see a wonderful little cake. What I love about my birthday cake card - and what I hope you’ll love, too - is how it actually pops up into a round, two-layer cake … complete with candles!

I’ve given my butterfly card, fairy house card, apple tree card, and coffee cup gift card holder cards all as birthday ca rds in the past few months. I know - crazy, right? But now that I have a Cricut cutting machine, I can make these gorgeous, handmade cards that are fun, thoughtful, and really not-so-hard. Back then, I would stop in to pick up a gift bag and birthday card as almost an afterthought to the present. I used to buy birthday cards from the store without a great deal of planning.
