3D Birthday Cake Card

In a Crafty Creative box a few months ago there were some paper straws which wanted to use but wasn't sure on which project, then in last months Papercraft Inspirations magazine they had just the card, a 3D birthday cake with paper straw candles.

For the cake I printed some designs from Craft Artist onto Centura Pearl card (so it had a nice sparkly finish) and also printed some text onto the card strips as I wanted to add glitter text but didn't trust myself with writing it properly so used the printed text as a template.
