Addicted to CAS’s current challenge is “Cake,” and I couldn’t wait to use my new stamps and dies from The Stamp Market. They are “cake focused!”
This card has a fair amount of stamping, but all of it ends up being die cut before assembly.
Since I knew I’d be spending some time putting the card together, I decided to make three identical cards. Stamping and die cutting for three really didn’t take a lot more time, and now I have a few cards in my stash. I die cut the cake from some My Mind’s Eye metallic paper. The rest of the cake was stamped and then die cut. I love the added glitter on the icing, compliments of some Stickles.
The card seemed a bit plain so I embossed the front with the polka dots–the white on white texture is pretty subtle, but add some interest.
I’m also linking this to the Wednesday Simon Says Challenge: Anything Goes.

I can see how it would be fun to decorate that paper cake, Karen. I love the gold dotted paper and the icing is . . . I have to say it – the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS.
What a great card! Loving the glitter-y icing – looks yummy! I do like the embossed background – adding texture and interest without taking away from the cake. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.
