Party with Cake

Sometimes I love to do graphic, bolder cards.  I just (finally!) got PARTY WITH CAKE today and the first thing that came to mind was bold!

I don't know about you, but when I think of bold I think of Basic Black, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo.

Party with Cake

Melon Mambo is my main color, so I used it for the card base and the piece of cake.  I sprinkled in Bermuda Bay as an accent color.  The sentiment needed to stand out from the graphic designer paper, so I heat embossed in black. I stopped there with the front, almost added sequins, but less can be more sometimes!

With all the fantastic sentiments in PARTY WITH CAKE it's easy to embellish the inside of your card to coordinate with the outside.  So, I carried over the sentiment in Black Archival ink and Melon Mambo then added sprinkles.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
