Take the Cake with The Craft's Meow

We are just a couple days away from the 

Big 2nd Birthday Blog Hop

It's Day #3 as we share the New Release Previews

and today's set is super-fun designed by Nina B Designs

'Take the Cake'

I actually stamped the cake stand using the opposite side of the stamp

which made for a thicker base.  Make sure you check out the projects

of my teammates to see what the actual base looks like.

From there, I created my cake layers using a variety of designs in this set.

I stamped them on pretty papers from BasicGrey's 'Hey Girl' collection.

I then used bling from Want2Scrap to decorate my layers

and topped off my cake with a flourish from Zva Creative.

The card borders were punched using an eyelet border from Martha Stewart.

To celebrate this week, TCM will be giving away not one but . . .

Quick Color Challenge for You

Thought I would share the outcome of this color challenge from The Color Throwdown. Had fun using lots of layers for the Victorian-style card, which could be used for a wedding or anniversary. Think I'll offer it in my Etsy store,
so if you kinda like it, head on over!

One More Offering Before Bed...

This was a small square of the other background that I mentioned in my earlier post. Thought I would follow through one more time with the lavender theme, then will work on some new color inspiration challenges from some of my favorite sites. Once I get those completed, I will share them here with you and offer the links to those sites so you can participate, too!

And of course.....if you are in need of a very special card for a very special occasion, you will find this card in my etsy store. Have a great night!
