Takes the Cake with Dana + Give & Make today beginning at 10am EDT

Good morning! Dana is here today sharing a fun project using our Takes the Cake product suite, but before we get to that, just a reminder that our Give & Make promotion for flood relief begins at 10am EDT today, with 10% off storewide, and all sales going towards flood relief for members of our community. You can read all the details in yesterday’s post HERE.

Now let’s hear from Dana about the cute project she’s sharing today…

Hi friends! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying your summer! My birthday stash of cards is getting low so I thought I would pull out one of my favorite sets to create a card to share with you all today. 

I love the Takes the Cake set. It has so many fun elements that work together to give you so many possibilities. I started my card by using the Takes the Cake Floral detail die to create the main section of the cake. I then used the Takes the Cake stamp and stencil combo set to add all the florals and foliage to my cake. I just love how it all comes together as you add each step, so pretty! Next, I used the Takes the Cake dies to create my backer for the cake, icing and candles. I mounted the floral cake onto the baker and added the icing across the bottom. I then ink blended the candles and added them across the top of my cake.

Next, I used the Takes the Cake Stand die to create my cake stand. I then created my sentiment banner with the Takes the Cake stamp set and Takes the Cake Banner die. I stamped my sentiment with VersaMark ink and heat set it with gold embossing powder. I then ink blend the banner with pink ink before attaching it to my cake. Lastly, I used the Ticker Tape Background stamp to create my card panel. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to pull out one of your favorite sets and create a card of your own.

Enjoy your day,

Dana
