Make a Cake

One of my team members has started a challenge “Hallmark Challenge”  you can read all about it HERE.  Here’s my card I created.

Here’s how I created my Card:

1. Fold the 8 1/2″ x 5 6/8″ (21 x 15cm) Crisp Cantaloupe CS in half with a bone folder to create a 5 6/8″ x 4 1/8″ (15 x 10.5cm) cardbase.
2. Emboss the front panel of your card front with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder and your Big Shot and set aside
3. Stamp the cake base image from Make a Cake Stamp Set to your 2″ x 5″ (5 x 13cm) Whisper White CS approx 2″ (3cm) from the bottom of the CS in  Black stazon ink
4. Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp the top layer of the cake above the bottom layer with Black Stazon ink
5. Stamp it again onto scrap piece of Pistachio Pudding CS, cut around the outside with paper snips.
6. Stick the Pistachio Pudding stamped image to the middle layer of the cake with snail adhesive
7. Punch the top portion of the Whisper White CS with the Scallop Tag topper Punch.
8. Pierce holes around the edge of your tag with a paper-piercing tool, and the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack, you will need to use free hand for around the top of the tag.
9. Centre and stick your Whisper White Tag to your  2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Crisp Cantaloupe CS, with your paper snips cut around the top leave a 1/4″ boarder to match your tag top
10. Stamp 4 hearts (2 x strawberry slush, 1 x pool Party, 1 x summer Starfruit) from the Make a Cake Stamp Set onto a scrap piece of whisper white CS, cut out with paper snips and stick them to the card as shown with 2-way glue pen.
11. Thread approx 3″ (5cm) Pistachio Pudding Ruffle Stretch Trim through the hole at the top of your tag topper, stick down the back with sticky tape, trim the ends as needed
12. stick approx 4 1/2″ (11cm) Delicate Details Lace Tape to the back of the Crisp Cantaloupe Tag, enough that you can only see half the lace pop out.
13. Stick the tag down to your card front with Stampin’ Dimentionals to the left of your card front
14. Stamp your greeting from Itty Bitty Banners stamp set onto a scrap piece of Whisper White CS, die cut with Bitty Banners Framelit dies with Magnetic Platform and Big Shot
15. Add Rhinestone basic Jewels to each side and stick at the bottom of your cardbase with stampin dimentionals on the right hand end, and snail adhesive on the left.  You’re Done!
