Cake Soiree Treats

Posted on by

I made these gorgeous little triangular treat boxes as table gifts for the ladies coming to classes this month.

Method

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 5”. Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Stylus I scored on the long side at ½ , 1¾ ”, 3”, 4¼” and 4⅜”. I then put a small notch at 2⅜” at the top and the bottom of the cardstock. I rotated the cardstock 90⁰ and scored at 1” and 4” on the short side.

Taking the stylus and a steel ruler I scored from the notch to each of the scored corners forming a triangle.

Using a sharp pair of scissors I trimmed as shown in the picture. I rounded the 4 main corners using a We Are Memory Keepers corner rounder.

I chose 4 of the smaller floral images from the Cake Soiree Stamp set and stamped them randomly all over the cardstock then folded and burnished all the score lines as shown.

I added Fast Fuse to the 4 tabs, stuck the box together and pinched the front and back together at the top to give the lovely triangular sides to the box. I added a mini Toblerone to each box, tucked in the ⅞” flap and brought the other flap over the top.

I wrapped an 8” piece of Silver ⅜” Metallic-Edged ribbon around the box and tied a piece of Silver Baker’s Twine around to hold the ribbon in place.

Such a pretty little box and perfect for a mini treat.

Cake Soiree Classes

Posted on by

This month we used the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake Builder dies for this month’s classes. I chose this set deliberately because I wanted to showcase the 3 types of embossing – dry, heat and embossing paste, and we had so much fun!!

Let the fun begin!

Sweet silver embossed cake

The 1st card we made used the lovely Silver Embossing Paste. To begin with we stamped the solid cake in Wisteria Wonder ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. The stamped cake was laid onto a sheet of plastic and one of the Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks was laid on top. We took a scoop of the Silver Embossing Paste and spread it across the mask in a line layer using the Palette Knives. We lifted the mask off revealing the silver stripes on the cake. This was then set to one side to dry thoroughly and the mask and palette knives were popped into a bowl of warm soapy water then washed at the end of class. Taking the delicate floral cake stamp and Pink Pirouette ink we stamped on the upper left hand corner and lower right hand corner of a Thick Whisper White card front. We also stamped the same image inside the card and on a Whisper White Envelope. We die cut the largest of the Lots of labels dies from Pink Pirouette cardstock and the next size down from Whisper White cardstock. We then trimmed the bottom of both labels and matted them together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added a Silver Ribbon bow to the top. When the embossing paste was dry we die cut the cake using the Sweet Cake Builder Dies and added a bow die cut from Silver Foil. The cake was added to the label on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To make the 2nd card we stamped the floral cake in Momento Tuxedo Black ink then coloured it in using Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party & So Saffron inks and Blender Pens. We stamped the smaller of the open roses in Pink Pirouette ink onto a Pink Pirouette card front and rounded the upper right corner with a WRMK’s corner rounder. We dry embossed a strip of Whisper White cardstock using the Sparkle Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. We added a piece of Silver Metallic Ribbon at the top before it was added a strip of Wisteria Wonder cardstock to the left side and glued the whole piece to the left side of the card front. We die cut the gorgeous decorative ‘plate’ from Wisteria Wonder cardstock and added it to the back of the cake with Tombow. Some of the ladies die cut the foliage from Pear Pizzazz cardstock and added it behind the cake which was raised up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The 3rd card focused on heat embossing. We stamped the floral cake onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock in Versamark Ink and yes we did remember to use the Embossing Buddy!! We sprinkled the stamped cake with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it using the Heat Tool. We also stamped the sentiment in Versamark onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed it in the silver. The cake was added to a cake plate and stand die cut from Silver Foil. The cake was then added to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The whole panel was added to a layer of Pink Pirouette cardstock – the same layer that we used to die cut the label for the 1st card. The whole topper was then added to a Wisteria Wonder card base.

I really enjoyed this month’s classes and I know the ladies had a great time.

Chocolate Cake Soiree

Posted on by

Today’s card, featuring a spectacular Chocolate Cake made using the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake framelit dies, was inspired by a stunning card made by Carolyn Bennie, a fellow demonstrator from Australia. I love Carolyn’s technique for water colouring on dark cardstock and couldn’t wait to give it a go.

I began by stamping the gorgeous ‘floral cake’ image in Versamark Ink onto a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I covered the stamped image with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. When the image was dry I added colour using my Watercolor Pencils; starting with the lightest Calypso Coral and working through the Melon Mambo and finishing with touches of Rich Razzelberry to add intensity. I added a little Daffodil Delight to the flower centres as well. I love the soft look of this technique. Following Carolyn’s tutorial I then added Early Espresso shadowing on the cake itself, it does give a subtle impression of dimension. The cake was then die cut using my Big Shot and the Sweet Cake framelit dies.

I die cut the cake base and stand from scrap Whisper White cardstock and added them to the back of the die cut cake with Tombow Liquid Glue.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a 5½” by 3¾” layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. This was topped with a panel of Calypso Coral dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” taken from the Delightful Daisy dsp pack. The cake was added to the lower right corner with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using Versamark ink I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stamp set, having masked off the rest of the sentiment with a post it note onto a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool before trimming it out with scissors and adding it to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
