Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a bit of Luck with you. I just can’t get over how cute all the new St. Patrick’s Day products are. One of the first projects I made was this St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake themed card. 

I used the fantastic Big Valentines Day Cupcake Dies and the Lucky Stamp set and coordinating dies combined with the older Leprechaun image from the Best of Luck stamp set. After stamping, coloring, and ink blending my images, I assembled them over a clover filled back ground that I made using the Layered Shamrocks Stencil. I gently splattered some metallic gold ink and matted with yellow and green layers. 

I embossed my sentiment onto a black banner cut from the Sentiment Strip Die Set, and added a bakers twine bow to the top corner. I finished this off with the addition of some clay embellishments from the St. Patrick’s Day clay confetti.

Thanks you for stopping by and I hope that you check out all of the fabulous inspiration from the incredible Design Team.

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a fun birthday cake shaker card with the new release. I love interactive cards, but I tend to be afraid making them. The new Cake Shaker die set makes it a breeze and no more thinking is needed what to fill it with, since we have the Shaker Beads!

First I die cut the Cake Shaker die 6 times: once from blue violet cardstock and 5 times from cream cardstock. As I did not cut apart the cake die and the window, I was sure that all the cakes will have the windows in the same place. (If I cut the dies apart, I usually use some washi tape to hold the dies together while I cut all my pieces). I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together. I placed a piece of acetate under the blue layer before mounting it on top of the cream layers.

Then I die cut the background using the new Pierced Stars Cover Plate and a light grey cardstock. I also cut a bunch of candles from cream cardstock and stacked 4 layers together for each candle to have some dimension. On the flames I used Copic markers.

I filled the cake with Berry Smoothie Shaker Beads and gently adhered the background to it. I love the sound of the beads shaking, it is mesmerizing for me!

For the sentiment I chose a line from the new Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set and slightly curved it to fit on a banner which I cut from pink cardstock with the Love From Afar die set. I used pink ink as I wanted to add some pink birds which I cut with the same die set. Aren’t they cute?

I wish you liked my card and got inspired to make some easy shaker cards. I cannot wait to make a bunch of this simply design with different colours to boost my birthday stash!

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon, Zsofi

Hello crafty friends! Barbara here and I am so happy to have a chance to share a this card that I made for Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday celebration!

This project was made using the adorable Birthday Candles die set. I die cut them from colored cardstocks using two tones for each candle and paper pieced them together using liquid glue. I die cut the flames from white cardstock and added stickles to create a sparkly shine.

You can customize the colors to fit the recipient, or to use up your paper scraps!

I adhered the candles to a panel that I created using the Birthday Words stencil. I used white cardstock and added white texture paste over the stencil for a subtle textured look to really showcase the candles.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy crafting!

Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a bright and cheerful birthday card to share with you all. The latest release is packed full of so many amazing die sets! They all coordinate perfectly and can be used to create so many fun cards.

I started my card by doing all of my die cutting. I used the Big Birthday Cupcake die set for the large cupcake. I then used the Party Hats and Birthday Candles dies to create the fun “party” accessories. Lastly, I used the Birthday Mug Additions set to create the star cupcake topper to decorate the top of the cupcake. I just love how all of these sets can be used together to give you so many options. 

Next, I used the Pierced Stars Plate to create my card panel. I love the subtle detail this die creates on your background. I then used the Fancy Cake die set to create my white frame for my card. I stamped my sentiment with the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set and attached it to a banner I die cut with the Sentiment Strips die set. Lastly, I attached all the fun birthday images with foam adhesive to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I can’t wait to see what you create with all these fun new products!!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Cake Shaker die set. This versatile die can be used to create both shaker and non-shaker style cards, as I’ve done here.

I wanted to create a floral decorated cake, so I began by die cutting the previously released Spring Foliage die set from white card. I then coloured the images with copic markers.

Copic colours:
Flowers: YR000 YR00 YR01; Y00 Y11 Y13; RV91 RV93 RV95; R30 R20 R22
Leaves: BG70 BG72 BG75
Candles: Y11 Y13 Y15 Y17 N0 N1 N7
Celebrate banner: N0-1 R30 R20 R22

Next, I die cut the new Cake Shaker die from pearl white sparkle card. I didn’t use the inner die pieces included in the set, which would turn this cake into a shaker. I die cut the candle 3 times from white card and coloured them with copic markers.

The sentiment banner is from the new Big Birthday Cupcake die set. The sentiment is a separate die that can be added to the banner to cut the letters.

I die cut the banner twice with the sentiment, colouring one set in with copic markers, then popping out the letters and layering them over a clean banner. I also added two more layers behind for dimension. I added some light grey copic colour for some shadow detail too.

I adhered some patterned paper to my 6” square card base, leaving a large 1” white border around the edges. 

Next, I adhered the cake in the centre of the card,  followed by the banner. Finally, I decorated the cake with the leaves and flowers.

I hope this card inspired you to dress up your cakes using your floral dies. It really stretches your die and makes it so you can use this for a variety of occasions!
