Stampin’ Up! GDP087 Happy Birthday

3 Comments

Happy Friday!  I hope you all had a great week!  Before I get to my project for today, I’d like to thank the design team from Hand Stamped Sentiments for choosing my card as one of their top picks.  If you missed my card you can see it here.  Thank you again, it’s an honor to be recognized.

The theme from the Global Design Group is: Cooking, Baking & Making.  When my husband was growing up his Grandma Eddie (Edna) was always baking and he could always count on Chocolate Cake and Caramel Frosting.  All from scratch and very tasty.  I have tried to continue this tradition.  The frosting however is very tricky and when you get it right it is so awesome….the only thing is that it unfortunately doesn’t turn out.  So sometimes other frostings have to be used.   Do you have a favorite birthday cake?  Anyway,  a birthday cake is where my mind went when I saw this challenge.  I used the retiring Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set and new colors and products that will be available June 1.

Here is my card:

Stampin' Up! Endless Birthday Wishes Stampin' Up!

Stamp:  Endless Birthday Wishes Paper:  Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Crushed Curry, White  Ink:  Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Crushed Curry  Accessories:  Happy Birthday Thinlits, Clear Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestone

I used the Clear Wink of Stella and ink from the lids of the ink pads to color the cakes.  I know, I don’t see a chocolate cake in the bunch :-) .

Here is the challenge that inspired my card:

    • Had fun making your card. Made several in your colors and made one in a bit more feminine palette but actually liked yours better . Once again, thanks for sharing your creativity
