Let’s Eat Cake
I’ve been stuck in a rectangle rut lately, so I decided to use a little bit different design for this card. I started with A Lost Lagoon card base. I used my Color Coach to select other colors since I wasn’t using Designer Series Paper (my go-to for choosing colors!). Pool Party and Soft Seafoam seemed to be a good fit for Lost Lagoon, but I wanted an extra color to make them pop. I chose Berry Burst.
Now that I had my colors in hand, I went to work. I cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Soft Seafoam in half diagonally, then embossed it with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the Lost Lagoon card base.
Next I stamped the hexagon frame from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set on Pool Party Cardstock in Lost Lagoon Ink and punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Then I stamped the sentiment in Berry Bust Ink and adhered it to the card.
For a little more “Pink Pop,” I stamped the flower in Berry Burst on Basic White Cardstock and punched with a retired 1/2″ circle punch. It was just a little too white, so I sponged a little Pretty in Pink ink over it, and adhered it over the hexagon label.
I added a bit of (retired) Pool Party Ribbon to the card, a dot of Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics to the center of the flower (I love that the Berry Burst Ink blended with it and the Enemel Effects turned pink!), and a 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dot. Yes, that dot is hiding a bit of stray ink, but now it looks like I’m talking to the cake. (Let’s Eat, Cake!)
When I added the embossed Soft Seafoam triangle to the card, I only glued the right angle side and the bottom of the triangle. This left a “pocket” for a gift card or cash, if I decided to add a gift to the card.
Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy. Have a lovely day!
