Spice Cake Archives - Inkspired Treasures

This card is one that my Clubs did in September but haven't shown here. It meets The Paper Players theme of FALL this week for Challenge #70 and I wanted to include it.

I think Stampin' Up!'s Always Thankful stamp set is beautiful and very easy to color! I used a past Create with Connie and Mary Challenge sketch for my starting point and took my colors from…what else?…Spice Cake Designer Paper! I'm going to MISS that DSP when it goes away!

I started with a base of Pool Party and layered on Soft Suede cardstock. I used three different patterns of Spice Cake DSP in varying widths under the front panel. I stamped the urn of fall grasses with Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and used my Stampin' Write Markers and the AquaPainter to color the image. I layered the Very Vanilla on Early Espresso cardstock. I added a piece of Crochet Trim with the mini safety pin from Vintage Trinkets in the lower right corner. Then I added three of the mini brads from Vintage Trinkets in the upper left corner. Finally, I added the greeting Kind Thanks from Stampin' Up!'s Thank you Kindly stamp set in Black Stazon Ink.

Hard to believe it is November 1st already! Wow! Today is gorgeous…sunny and a high in the 60s! Wish it would stay like this all winter! lol!

I checked out The Paper Players sketch this week (PP65) and decided it would be perfect for a Spice Cake Fabric Flower I made when I was playing around last week prepping for a class.

Here is my card, using some of my favorite colors this fall!

I cut a large scallop circle with the Big Shot, then gathered the fabric in the center and stitched a Spice Cake Designer Button in the center with White Bakers Twine. I layered it with Stampin' Dimensionals on a Very Vanilla 3" circle cut with the Big Shot. The base of the card is Pool Party with a layer of Soft Suede over it. I added three different patterns of the Spice Cake Designer Paper on top…what a great way to use up those scraps! I decided my flower needed some leaves, so added two More Mustard and Early Espresso leaves stamped from Gently Falling (LOVE IT!) along the side. The greeting, Thanks, is from Kind Thanks Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! and punched with the Large Oval Punch.

Now, you'd definitely need to send this in a padded envelope, or give it in person…it is quite bulky with the button on there, but I really like how it turned out and my mom's birthday is coming up soon! I know she'll like it!
