Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card was inspired by a photo of tulips cake and cupcakes. I used Kat Scrappiness dies on this card. At the end of the post is the list and links to the to the products I used in case you are interested to check it out.
I worked on the tiered cake first. The KS Build a Cake Craft dies create cake layers that is not the height of the cake tier that I want mine to be. To make the cake tier taller, I partially die cut a cake layer on navy blue cardstock. I partially die cut the bottom portion first then I moved the die towards the top of the cardstock which was cut to my desired tier height. The middle portion was not cut. I just used a pair of scissors to complete the cut, thus, creating a taller cake tier.
I die cut a matte gold cardstock for the bottom portion of the cake.
I adhered these layers on a scrap piece of cardstock to create a single piece of embellishment. I cut off any excess being careful not to cut any part of the cake.
I die cut the flowers from the KS Layered Tulip Bouquet craft dies on different shades of pink cardstock. I die cut the stems and leaves on green cardstock. I adhered the center layer of the tulip over the base tulip. I only applied a line of glue on the center so I can zhush this center layer later on.
I planned the lay out of the flowers on the cake. I adhered the flowers to the stems. I did a lot of die cut surgery during this portion of the project. I want to have an even distribution of the flowers and leaves on the cake. I adhered the tulips to the cake and snipped off the excess stems/leaves.
I added dots to the cake using white enamel glue for some added pop. I added dots of glittered glue to the trim of each cake tier. I set this aside to dry.
I worked on the bow next. I die cut three bows on a blue cardstock. The bow die is from the KS Layered Tulip Bouquet craft dies. I snipped off the bow tails on two of the bows. I adhered the three bows by adding a dot of glue on the center of the bow. I shifted the bows so that it will add layers to the single bow. I added white dots to this bow using a white gel pen. I adhered this bow to the top of the cake. I adhered a navy blue sequin then topped it with a glass bauble.
For the easel panel, I die cut a white cardstock with the KS Buffalo Plaid Background craft die. I die cut three pieces of it. Luckily, the negative cuts did not drop off on one of the die cuts. I set this piece aside. This will be used as a stopper to hold the easel up.
I trimmed a heavy weight white cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11". I scored this at 5 1/2" on the long side to create a top folding card.
I trimmed the third plaid panel shorter, leaving three rows of the pattern only. I took note of the pattern on the bottom portion of the plaid panel so that the cut out will make the plaid design continuous. I used this trimmed plaid die cut as a guide on where to score the front of top folding card. I used a pencil and lightly mark that area, then scored it using a scoring tool.
I adhered the trimmed plaid panel to the inside bottom portion of the card. I pieced in the square negative cuts to create a flat panel.
For the sentiment, I die cut the KS Happy Birthday Shadow Sentiment craft die on a navy blue cardstock. I adhered this to the inside of the card, on top of the trimmed plaid die cut.
I adhered the plaid panel to the front of the card, applying glue to the bottom fold only.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
