Piece of Cake with Lollipops

#SimpleStamping

This fun card is really easy to make.  Both the cake and the lollipop images are from the Piece of Cake stamp set and the cake plate is from the coordinating Cake Builder Punch.

Its all about the layers! 

Concept-wise this card is very easy . . . its the layers that add interest and make it look more complicated than it really is.

Do you get as excited as I do 

when I find a way to use up scraps? 

The cake was stamped on scrap paper, punched out, and colored with markers.

The lollipops were stamped directly on the white and the cake and cake plate were glued below them.

Layering adds dimension

. . . and Dimensionals add layers

An optional way you can get extra depth is by using foam Dimensionals to raise the piece with the circle off the background. (see product links below)

Every card needs a little sparkle and glitz

For this card I punched the cake plate from silver foil paper  I love the new Cake Builder Punch. I can't imagine trying to cut that cake plate and get the sides symmetrical and even.

Coordination is Key

This Designer paper strip from the Garden impressions Paper pack was perfect.  The image on the paper coordinated perfectly with the image on the cake.  And I used matching color markers to color in the lollipops and cake frosting.
