Piece of Cake - Global Design Project Theme Challenge - GDP179

March 4, 2019

Sweets for the sweet. How about a delicious challenge for this weeks Global Design Project? We are playing around with a little sweetness.

What do you have in arsenal of craft products that could fit this theme?

I cracked open the Piece of Cake bundle for my projects today. I ended up making two cards.

Each card uses the cake and pedestal as the primary image layers with lots of additional elements.

You can create visual interest on your cards by layering various items. I’ve use the heart images from the Be Mine dies to create a frame around the cake on this first card. The cake has been colored using Stampin’ Blends and Stampin’ Write markers. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

This second card incorporates layers and textures to add visual interest. This card could work for any LOVE occasion.

Here’s a tip for you: when coloring think about how you can change the look of the original image by coloring outside of the lines or deliberately leaving areas uncolored. On this cake I’ve left the flowers white and added a small pink halos around all of the dots on the cake.

Ready to see more SWEET projects? Check out the Global Design Project blog. Play along with us! Tag your projects #gdp179 so we can be sure to find them on Pinterest and Instagram.

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
