Sweet Thoughts – Circle Sayings

Welcome back!  It’s Saturday.  Will you have a chance to be creative? 

This is the card I created today…for Just Add Ink (#696) Inspiration Photo – Cake and Colors, the Global Design Project (#439) Sweet Treat Theme and the Crafter’s Cafe (#306) Food Theme using the Atlantic Hearts (#571) Sketch.  I am also sharing with the current Krafty Chicks (#710) challenge.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Pool Party cardstock dry embossed with the 2024 Sale-a-bration Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder.
• Strips: (¾” x 4”) Pool Party, Highland Heather and Blackberry Bliss patterned pieces of paper.
  • (1) Pool Party Dash – 2023/2024 Subtles Collection.
  • (2) Highland Heather Wave – 2019 / 2020 Subtles Collection.
  • (3) Blackberry Bliss Circle – 2020 / 2021 Regals Collection.
  • (4) Pool Party Gingham – 2019 / 2020 Subtles Collection.
• Accent Mat: (3” x 2¼”) Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
• Sentiment Panel: (2¾” x 2”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The sentiment, Sharing sweet thoughts, from the retired Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.
• Focal Images – Cupcakes:  Basic White cardstock and Heart patterned pieces of paper from the 2023 /2024 Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper pack: Highland Heather and Pool Party.
  • The Cupcake image from the Circle Sayings stamp set was stamped four times.  Two on the Basic White cardstock and one each on the patterned paper.
  • The patterned paper Cupcake Liners were fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
  • The Cupcake Icing and Cake were colored with the Light Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Markers and then fussy-cut.
  • The Cupcake Liners were adhered in place.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  One Cupcake was popped up with Dimensionals.
