Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. And I must say, I love my job! I had so much fun creating samples for today’s Stamping Sunday Blog Hop! I might have gotten carried away, in a good way. We’re featuring a trio of products: Floral Romance, Piece of Cake and Beautifully Detailed Laser Cut Paper. You’re going to love the inspiration the design team have for you!!

• beginner/simple stamping: quick, easy projects needing limited supplies; clean and simple cards;
• casual stamping: takes a little more time, uses some tools, more embellishments, creations for an occasion;
• avid stamping: more time, techniques, tools, whatever it is, I want to do it!

For today’s hop, I’ve focused on the Piece of Cake bundle.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Piece of Cake

Beginner or Simple Stamping

For this card, you’ll start with a Thick Whisper White base.

Then stamp a background pattern of “happy birthday” in Calypso Coral.

Stamp the cake and pedestal from Piece of Cake in Calypso Coral

on Whisper White.

Then cut out the image with your 2-1/4″ Circle Punch

and adhere with Dimensionals.

Casual Cards

For this first casual, clean and simple birthday card, add a

2-1/4″ Calypso Coral circle.

Tip: Punch a piece of cardstock with the Cake Builder Punch.

Then use this template to place the cake and pedestal on your block

so that you can punch both stamped images at one time.

Add loops of Gold Metallic Thread with a Mini Glue Dot.

Then use Mini Dimensionals to adhere the punched cake and pedestal.

Finish this Piece of Cake card with a trio of Faceted Dots.

For this variation, add a strip of vellum from

the Floral Romance specialty designer paper.

Then layer with 2-1/4″ circle in Calypso Coral,

loops of gold Metallic Thread

and a Whisper White focal circle with the stamped cake and pedestal.

Finish with Faceted Dots.

This third clean and simple birthday card is another

subtle shift in elements.

Use the Quilt Top embossing folder to add detail

to the 2-1/4″ Calypso Coral circle.

Then, layer with gold Metallic Thread and

the images from Piece of Cake.

For the avid card, you’ll be adding lots of layers and texture!

piece of Calypso Coral cut to form a micro border.

Over that is a strip of Calypso Coral layered with a piece of vellum

from the Floral Romance designer paper.

Add a Stitched Shapes circle stamped with “happy birthday”

in Calypso Coral.

Then, layer with Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon and

gold Mini Sequin Trim.

Add a Calypso Coral circle embossed with the Quilt Top folder.
