Chompster Birthday Cards: Creative Cardmaking Ideas with the Just Add Cake Kit

Chompster Birthday Cards: Creative Cardmaking Ideas with the Just Add Cake Kit

Hello, crafty friends. Allison Frazier here. I’m excited to be on the Spellbinders blog and YouTube channel today sharing two fun ways to use the Chompster die set from the Just Add Cake Birthday Cardmaking Kit. One card features only products from the kit, and the other features a few additional products from my Spellbinders stash. I know the kit is called “Just Add Cake,” but you’ll see that just adding cheese can be just as fun!

Chompster Birthday Cards: Creative Cardmaking Ideas with the Just Add Cake Kit

For my first card, I used only products available in the kit. Since the Chompster set itself has everything you need to make an adorable card, I wanted to challenge myself and find unique ways to incorporate the other die sets in the kit. Believe it or not, I actually used every die set in the kit, except for the Make It Count Sentiments. I had to sacrifice using that die set in favor of the funny sentiment from the stamp set. When it comes to Chompster, he can eat either pizza or a cupcake. Since I had already made a card with a cupcake when the kit first came out, the decision was easy. It had to be pizza!

Watch the video below or on the Spellbinders YouTube channel:

https://youtu.be/S0hd4wILxLs Using the Chompster Die Set:
  • Cut the main die from Fawn ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the mouth and arms from Truffle ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the glasses and sauce from Poppy ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the crust from Fawn ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the eyes, teeth, and top layer of the hat from Classic White ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the cheese from Saffron ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the bottom layer of the hat from Rainforest ColorWheel cardstock.
Using the Confetti Pop Die Set:
  • Cut the large burst of champagne shape from Saffron ColorWheel cardstock. Using scissors, cut this piece into smaller pieces to use for the drips of cheese.
  • Cut the shape that creates smaller splashes from Truffle ColorWheel cardstock. Set aside the two little curved pieces to use for eyebrows.
Using the Birthday Brew Die Set:
  • Cut the piece that creates the bubbles in the beer mug from Fawn ColorWheel cardstock and set aside the tiny circles that fall out of the die cut.
  • Cut the same piece from Poppy ColorWheel cardstock and set aside the tiny circles.
Using the Garden Party Die Set:
  • Cut the center for the largest flower from Saffron ColorWheel cardstock. Use this textured piece to then cut the berry (see below)
Using the Light the Candles Die Set:
  • Cut the berry from the textured piece of Saffron cardstock that was cut from the Garden Party set (see above)
Now that all the die cuts are ready, it’s time to assemble!
  • Assemble the three layers of the pizza with liquid glue.
  • Assemble the two layers of the hat with liquid glue. Adhere the yellow, textured ball to the top (the textured, berry shape).
  • Adhere the eyes to the back of the head with liquid glue.
  • Color the Fawn eyes that fell out of the main die with a black marker and glue to the back of the eyes in order to create the pupils.
  • Glue a few small strings of cheese to the upper teeth using the remnants of the shape from the Confetti Pop Die Set.
  • Optional – Add thin scraps of paper around the rest of the teeth outline (to fill in where the cheese is not glued on). This gives a little distance between the teeth and the front of Chompster and also allows the teeth to sit level. I am a bit obsessive about details like this!
  • Adhere the teeth to the back of the head with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the mouth in back of the teeth using thin foam strips.
  • Fill in the other areas in the back of the head with the thin foam strips.
  • Adhere the glasses with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the eyebrow shapes above the glasses with liquid glue.
  • Glue the top of the small, curved hand to the back of the pizza so the hand is resting on the crust.
  • Add thin foam strips to the back of the pizza and adhere to the inside of the mouth.
  • Adhere the long arm to the body with liquid glue so that the hand is resting on the pizza.
  • Using a Pick Up Tool, glue the tiny Fawn colored circles (from the Birthday Brew set) to several areas of the face for texture.
  • Cover one of the A2 card bases from the kit with a piece of Fern Colorwheel cardstock using liquid glue.
  • Stamp and cut the sentiment using the Just Add Cake stamp and die sets, using green ink. I like to die cut first and then stamp. You can watch the video to see the trick I use for doing that.
  • Place Chompster onto the green card base at an angle and adhere with liquid glue.
  • Add some long strings of cheese from the bottom of the mouth using liquid glue and thin pieces of foam tape.
  • Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the card with liquid glue.
  • Using a Pick Up Tool, glue some of the tiny red circles around the card as embellishments.
  • Last step: Do not try to take the pizza away from Chompster – he is clearly very hungry!
For my second card, I dove into my stash of Spellbinders goodies. I knew that I wanted to use the April 2026 Large Die of the Month because there are so many fun things that Chompster can eat from it. The Chompster from my first card should probably start eating some of the vegetables that are included in that Large Die kit! But, I wanted to make a sweet girl monster, and then I found a fun sentiment that led me to choosing more cheese. Using the Chompster Die Set:
  • Cut the main die from Chiffon ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the mouth from gray cardstock.
  • Cut the arms from Blush ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the glasses from Raven ColorWheel cardstock. Set aside the circles that pop out from the glasses.
  • Cut the eyes and teeth from Classic White ColorWheel cardstock.
Using the “Market Tote” April 2026 Large Die of the Month:
  • Cut the bottom part of the cheese from Beeswax ColorWheel cardstock.
  • Cut the top part of the cheese from a light yellow cardstock.
Using the Halloween Wreath Add-ons set:
  • Cut the top part of the bow twice from Beeswax ColorWheel cardstock and once from a light yellow cardstock.
  • Cut the small center of the bow from Beeswax ColorWheel cardstock.
Using the Ribbon & Trim die set:
  • Cut the smallest border from a light yellow cardstock.
Now it’s time to assemble!
  • Assemble the two layers of cheese with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the eyes to the back of the head with liquid glue.
  • Take the black circles that popped out of the glasses and glue to the back of the eyes to create the pupils.
  • Adhere the teeth to the back of the head with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the mouth in back of the teeth using thin foam strips.
  • Fill in the other areas in the back of the head with the thin foam strips.
  • Optional: Cover the additional foam pieces with cardstock so that the back of Chompster is level.
  • Adhere the glasses with liquid glue.
  • Glue the top of the small, curved hand to the back of the cheese so the hand is resting on top.
  • Add thin foam strips to the back of the cheese and adhere to the inside of the mouth.
  • Adhere the long arm to the body with liquid glue so that the hand is resting on the cheese.
  • Cut the light yellow bow along the debossed line. Do the same with one of the Beeswax bows.
  • Adhere the partial bow shapes on top of the remaining Beeswax bow with liquid glue.
  • Adhere the small center piece to the top of the bow.
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Cozy Toes Friends stamp set to the bottom of a white A2 card base using black ink.
  • Cut a sheet of patterned paper from the Rosie’s Studio Jubilee 6x6 Paper Pad and trim it to 4.25” wide.
  • Adhere the patterned paper to the card base with liquid glue so that it sits above the stamped sentiment. Trim the excess off the top.
  • Adhere the yellow trim piece to the bottom of the patterned paper using liquid glue.
  • Adhere Chompster to the card base using liquid glue.
  • Adhere the bow on top using liquid glue and foam tape.
  • Warning: She may look sweet and innocent, but don’t try to take that cheese away from her!
