CardMaker Blog Team Sweets for You Sweet Hop

It's time for another hop with the CardMaker blog team! 
This month's theme is Sweets for Your Sweet.

For my card I created a quick and easy design by using a base created from a Bo Bunny 12x12 sheet of patterned paper (Sweet Tooth Collection) that contained four 6x6 panels. These panels work really well for cards because all of the patterns are already there and there is an open area perfect for adding an image or greeting.

I cut the panel out, trimmed it to a 5 3/4" square and used my Fiskars corner rounder on it then adhered it to a 6x6 base.

Then it was just a matter of adding the image and greeting. I used the Gina K Designs Sweetest Blessings stamp set and stamped the pie image onto white card stock, colored it with my Touch Twin Markers and the cut it out with my Spellbinders oval die. Finally, I matted it in brown and attached with 3D foam squares.

For the greeting I stamped it onto pink card stock with Clearsnap chocolate brown ink and then cut it out into a ribbon design. 

Add pearls to the corner and gems to the flower centers and it's done!





Be sure to stop by and visit the rest of the team today to see what they have created as well!
