Make a Cake Card

.

I made this cute card with my Stampin' Up! Make a Cake stamp set. I've always had issues with this set because even with a Stamp a ma jig I have a heck of a time aligning the images correctly. I've driven myself looney on more than one occasion with this set so the moral of this story is this is DEFINITELY a set that you'll need a stamp positioner LOL! Despite that I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. The colors look awesome together. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" piece of light blue card stock and fold in half for the base, a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of pink card stock for the middle layer, a 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of Patio Party Designer Series Paper for the front, a 2" x 3 1/2" piece of dark blue for the cake's background, a 1 3/4" x  3 1/4" piece of white for the cake and a 1" x 4" piece of pink card stock for the banner. 

Using a Stamp a ma jig stamp the cake's base in Stampin' Up! Soft Sky ink, the cake in Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette, then using ink pads and a blender pen color the sides of the pennant stamp with Stampin' Up! Night of Navy and the center with Pink Pirouette inks. Next color the butterflies stamp with a blender pen and Night of Navy, Soft Sky and Pink Pirouette inks then attach it to the dark blue base. Next cut the end of the banner with a Stampin' Up! Hearts a Flutter die and heat emboss the sentiment with Versamark ink and white embossing powder. Then cut the butterfly out of light blue card stock with a Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit. Next attach the cake, banner, and butterfly to the Designer Series Paper, attach the DSP to the pink layer then the pink layer to the base. Finally attach the self-adhesive rhinestones and glue the diamond jewel. Enjoy!

Hope is a Wish with a Little More Clout Card

Here's another card that I made with my Stampin' Up! Blooming with Kindness stamp set (see I told you it was versatile! LOL 😋) I love how this turned out. I love the monochromatic Blackberry Bliss, the flowers are gorgeous and the sponged background looks great too! Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 3/4" piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and fold in half for the base, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white card stock for the front. 

Next sponge the background on the white card stock with Blackberry Bliss ink then randomly fleck it with water (a straw or your fingers work great!) and allow to dry.

Purple Kind Koala Card

Hey everyone! Here we go w/another purple card so you know I love it lol! I made this adorable card using my Stampin' Up! Kind Koala stamp set and Beautiful Wings Embosslits. Of course I love the colors, the butterflies are adorable and the bow's a nice finishing touch. Here's how to make it:
