Hi friends! I hope you’re having a good week and you’re enjoying some gorgeous weather like we’re having out here in southwestern Colorado! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #70! It’s rapidly becoming wedding season so I made a cake box card using Hot Off The Press dies! I love how this turned out and I can definitely see more of these in my future, not only for weddings but for anniversaries and birthdays, too!

Using the Hot Off The Press Cake Box Card Cutting Dies, I cut the cake card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, the candle flame from CutCardStock Basis Gold, the candle from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock, the cake layers from Stampin’ Up Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack, and the icing from Brutus Monroe pink glitter sheet.

I embellished each layer with an assortment of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers with pearl sprays on two of the layers. I added a bow made from Doodlebug Design Lily White twine. The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set, stamped in Memento Lilac Posies ink. This was a super fun one to put together!

I added a Solar White cardstock panel on the back with another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set, stamped in Memento Lilac Posies ink.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
