The Make A Wish stamp set from Catherine Poolers the last release is the perfect stamp set for making quick and easy birthday cards. I used a soft muted tone palette for this card, so it could work perfectly as a masculine birthday card. But you can easily switch up the colours to suit whoever you plan on sending this to!

How many candles?!
Start by stamping the plain candle stick from the Make a Wish stamp set in Tranquil ink. Next, reposition the candle to the side and slightly higher than the previous candle and stamp this in Juniper Mist ink.

Once more, move the candle again to a different position and stamp in Cove Blue ink. Keep repeating this process and changing the ink colour until you have stamped enough candles.

Quick and easy birthday card: Assembling the card

Heat emboss a sentiment from the stamp set in Gold embossing powder, and fussy cut this out to add the front of the card. Lastly, embellish with a few blue sequins to finish the card off.
