Spice Cake for The Paper Players

This week the lovely Lesley is hosting a Happy Birthday challenge at The Paper Players.  I decided to feature one of my favorite Designer Series Paper on my card, by using two patterns from the Spice Cake collection.  I hope you enjoy today’s fun to make card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
  •  Frame it! Stampin’ Up!’s new Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is perfect for showcasing an image OR an oval of Designer Series Paper.  I opted to focus on an oval of the Pool Party Country Pattern from the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper collection.
  • Flag it! Give any sentiment flair by flagging the end.  I used the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Family Reunion set.
  • Fussy cut it! This beautiful flower is snipped from one of the patterns of Spice Cake.
  • Finish with pearls! What could be more perfect than adding Basic Pearls to the Scallop Trim Border!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, and that you will join us in this week’s challenge.  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  Your comments are always important to me, and I do enjoy reading and responding to them.  Of course, if you ever have questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away!  Until next time…
