Crowning Glory | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Good morning!

It’s a brand-new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, inspired by the phrase “Crowning Glory”.

Well, what better excuse to give the brand-new release from The Greetery its first outing:

Card inspiration with The Greetery Takes the Cake

Stamp and stencil combo: The Greetery – Takes the Cake
Stamps: The Greetery – Sparkler Background
Dies: The Greetery – Takes the Cake, The Greetery – Takes the Cake Banner, The Greetery – Takes the Cake Floral Details, The Greetery – Takes the Cake Stand, Spellbinders – Fluted Classics Rectangles, The Greetery – Bold Numbers, The Greetery – Twisted Crepe

Card inspiration with The Greetery Takes the Cake

I used the new Takes the Cake product suite, which includes stencils, stamps, and various coordinating dies to create all the elements of the cake.

I used glitter cardstock for the fancy icing details, and metallic cardstock for the cake stand and the numbers crowning the cake.

I just love the colour and design possibilities of this product suite. 😀

I also used the Sparkler background stamp as the backdrop for the cake, combined with the Fluted rectangle dies from Spellbinders.

As a finishing touch, I added Twisted Crêpe streamers behind the cake.

Make sure you check out the rest of the projects from the design team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!
