Piece of Cake is a must have suite of products for birthday cards, weddings and anniversaries. Well, really almost any celebration you would have cake! And thankfully, there are a lot of those! With the darling decorated cake stamps and the oh so simple Cake Builder Punch, you have a lot of options to celebrate any occasion.

I chose to use Gingham Gala DSP, easily my “Paper of the Year”.  I can imagine not having this paper. I am so hoping it becomes a carryover to the next catalog!  And the design is simple with the cake as the focus.  I chose the “cut the cake” sentiment as it can have so many meanings! So, when I ready to send the card I can make it a birthday card or another celebration just by choosing the right sentiment for the inside!

I have had this design in mind since I took a look at all the sentiments in the Lasting Lily stamp set, which you can get “free” with a purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  Once I saw the “Wishing you well” sentiment, I had to design a card using the Dandelion Wishes stamp!

I have wanted to try stamping a design on the Gingham Gala paper and the dandelion worked just right for me. This is where the Stamparatus comes in handy.  Having a great stamp positioned like the Stamparatus allows you to make several impressions which will give you a nice dark image on a patterned background. If you haven’t heard about the Stamparatus, check it out by clicking the image below.

The stamped design was layered on a simple black and white dotted paper from the Botanical Butterfly paper you can earn for free with a purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  And of course, the card just needed the “Wishing you well” sentiment from the Lasting Lily set, another freebie during Sale-A-Bration.  Click on the images below to see all the good stuff you can earn during Stampin’ Up’s! annual free stamps promotion!

For today’s card, I did not use the kit. Instead, I used the new Gingham Gala DSP as well as some In Color DSP to create a bright, happy springlike card you could send to a special friend.  Using two different DSP paper stacks, I was able to mix and match patterns. For the finishing touch, I added some of the Gingham Gala sequins topped by enamel dots.
