Good Morning! Welcome to the December Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations bundle from the latest Online Exclusives release to make an Anniversary card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
This is a fun fold card that is wonderful for showing both sides of pretty designer series paper since it uses a folded piece of DSP for the ‘card base’. I folded and burnished a panel of Regal Winter designer series paper and adhered it to a gold foil mat and then to a Real Red card base.
For the card front, I embossed a Basic White panel with the Distressed tile embossing folder and cut a Gold Foil panel with the die from the Perennial Postage dies. I adhered the embossed panel to the die cut foil and adhered it to the short front flap of DSP. I also cut the cake stand from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations dies from Gold foil and adhered it together.
I cut the two pieces of cake from Basic White using the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations dies and I cut the frosting from white glimmer paper. I adhered the frosting to the cake and adhered the two cake layers and cake stand together using thin lines of liquid glue. I adhered the cake to the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped several flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set using Real Red ink and leaves using Shaded Spruce ink. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the cake with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set using versamark ink on Shaded Spruce and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and then fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card with pieces of dimensionals and finished with clear sparkle gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a die cut leaf sprig and flower in the corner and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations cakes are beautiful, whether die cut or stamped. And the little flowers and leaf sprigs are perfectly sized for decorating the cake. It’s a wonderful bundle for making yummy cake cards.
