It's a Piece of Cake

Hello everyone!  I hope your Friday has been FANTASTIC!  Are you ready for the weekend?  Mine has been so busy AND my oldest son, Trevor, came up for a visit! I LOVE it when I get to see my kids!!!

Today I have a BEAUTIFUL wedding card to share with you!  I would also make a lovely anniversary card or even a birthday card!  

The card base is a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock!  The first layer is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock that is embossed with the GORGEOUS Country Floral embossing folder.  Next, I attached a Pearlized Doily with dimensionals.  I used the Piece of Cake stamp set for the cake image.  It is stamped with Gray Granite ink and colored with Dark Petal Pink and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend Markers on a Stitched Circle from the Stitched Shapes framelits.  Last, the sentiment is from the same stamp set and is heat embossed with White Embossing Powder onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock then punched out with the Classic Label punch.  I added some Pearl Basics and some White Bakers Twine to finish it off!

Piece of Cake - Birthday or Wedding?

Hello there!  Oh my goodness...I got so busy getting ready for my retreat this weekend that I forgot to post my Tuesday's Tip video yesterday!  I'll save it for next week!  I have a class down the mountain today but before I head out, I want to share the last of this month's class projects!

The card base is from Magnolia Lane Memories & More Large Specialty Cards and Envelopes.  You get 20 cards, 20 envelopes and 20 envelope liners for $12.50.  I turned my liner around so it would match my card and stamped in the corners using the Piece of Cake stamp set.  The image and sentiment on the front are from the same set.  I stamped the cake onto a stitched circle cut with the Stitched Shapes framelit dies using Gray Granite ink and colored it in with my Petal Pink and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends markers.  The 3" X 4 1/8" piece of Petal Pink cardstock is embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder and fits perfectly in the center of the card base.  Before attaching it I added a bow using Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon.  The sentiment is punched with the Classic Label Punch of which I cut one end into a banner.  I also added a 4" X 6" piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside of the card after stamping some flowers in the corners! This card comes together quickly and is just lovely!  Some of my other classes turned it into a wedding card...PERFECT!!!  I love it when they make things their own!!

ICS Blog Hop It’s a Spring Thing!!!

Hello everyone and WELCOME to the Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop!  I hope that you'll follow along and be INSPIRED to CREATE!  Our theme this month is "Think Spring". 

I chose to create a wedding card using the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Paper.  This paper is GORGEOUS! My card base is a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock. My first layer is a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I added a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of Vellum Floral Romance paper with snail adhesive in the corners to the Whisper White layer. I embossed a 1 1/2" X 4" piece of Petal Pink cardstock with the Corrugated embossing folder and adhered it to the designer paper with dimensionals. I tied a Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle bow  around all three layers before adding it to my card base, also with dimensionals.  The sentiment is from the Piece of Cake stamp set.  It is stamped with Gray Granite ink and punched with the 1" Circle Punch.  I used my Paper Piercing Tool to poke two holes at the top of the circle and separated two threads of the Whisper White Flax Ribbon to tie a bow through the holes.  The sentiment is attached with one dimensional.  I just LOVE how it turned out and hope it INSPIRES you! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and allowing me to share what I LOVE to do...with you!
