Usually you use wrapping paper to wrap a present for your friend’s birthday. This time you’ll use it to wrap the birthday cake itself, including a cute sheer ribbon for the finishing touch.
Tip: If you don’t want to draw the birthday cake directly on the card (step 1), you could use grid paper and 2 paper clips to attach it to the card.

Steps (10 steps, 30 minutes)
-
1
Draw a birthday cake on the front side of the card with a pencil and ruler. Use an eraser if needed. I drew guides (help lines) to make it easier.
-
2
Fold the card open and cut out the birthday cake shape with a craft knife. Use an eraser to remove the remaining pencil lines.
-
3
Take the wrapping paper and put it inside the card. Now close the card and see what pattern your birthday cake will contain. Move it around a bit till you’re satisfied.
-
4
Draw small lines with your pencil on the wrapping paper, so you know where to cut & glue it later.
Cut out the wrapping paper. It should be big enough to fit on your card.
-
5
Glue the blank inside of the card and carefully attach the wrapping paper to it. Cut off the left over paper.

6
Grab the sheer ribbon. Put it inside the card and close it. Check at what height you would like the ribbon to appear in the birthday cake shape.
-
7
When you’ve made a decision, draw a 0.4 inch vertical line on the left & right side inside the card. Keep a margin of 0.6 inch toward the border.
-
8
Cut the two vertical lines with a craft knife
-
9
Pull the sheer ribbon from the backside of the card through one of the two vertical cuts. Measure what total length you need and cut it off with a scissor.

Pull the other thread end through the other vertical cut. Now make sure the thread has the same length on both sides. Tie a double knot.
Tie a lovely bow and your card is finished!
