The inspiration for this card? My daughter asked for a Harry Potter or Hogwarts cake for her birthday last week - do you know how complex and elaborate those cakes can be? Just Google "Hogwarts Birthday Cake" and see! Anyway, I found THIS simple design, which became my launch-pad for her Gryffindor/Harry Potter-inspired birthday cake...

Which is how this Cake Crazy-stamped birthday card began - the Gryffindor layer on the card matches her cake...

Between the cake layers are "it's your birthday" from the Endless Birthday Wishes - my go-to birthday stamp set...

My daughter loved her Harry Potter-inspired birthday card and cake and I had a lot of fun creating them both. The best part? When she opened her card and I could see the recognition behind her eyes as she identified each of the Hogwarts houses on the card.

I love the way that you can layer the Cake Crazy stamp set to create a fun birthday cake in any colour or theme! Pairing this stamp set with the Endless Birthday Wishes and I have endless birthday options for cards and gifts.
