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…

Buried Treasure—Monochromatic Wreath

With the onset of Fall, my thoughts immediately turn to creating  fall cards.  For this week’s Buried Treasure feature, I just had to bring back one of my favorites from September, 2009.  Click HERE to read the original post. It is hard to believe that I crafted this card two years ago for an Our Creative Corner monochromatic challenge.  This is a design that is timeless.

Making It Fresh

  • Spice it up with Spice Cake Designer Series Paper!
  • Make it “pearl-fect” by adding Basic Pearls!
  • Fall in love with it by using the Gently Falling stamp set!

Paper Winner

According to Random.Org, the lucky recipient of 100 sheets of 6″ x 6″ retired Designer Series Paper is  #33 Luann!
