TGIF! It’s time for an INSPIRATION Challenge!
On May 7, my Grandma turned 89 years old. We had a birthday party for her and I made three cakes. A Vanilla, a Chocolate, and a Coconut. It was really my first attempt at making cakes, I even bought three new round pans with my Kohl’s cash to try and get it right. I learned a few things (the difference between cake flour and all-purpose = PROTEINS). I frosted them, kept it simple and more elegant. You can see them at the end of this post…
Anyway, this card was created for my sweet grandma, whom I love dearly. She looks lovely in purple so I made sure to include that in my creation.

Transform your paper craft projects with the Cottage Flowers Dies. Create beautiful silhouettes and accent pieces with the variety of flowers, stems, and leaves
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock. Burnish the fold at 4 1/4.
Ink Smooch Gorgeous Grape Classic Ink onto a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. You can learn all about Ink Smooching here.
Use the brush end of a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Marker to flick color onto the Shimmery White Cardstock (once the Ink Smooching has dried).
Adhere to a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 piece of Highland Heather Cardstock and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the three images in Versamark Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock and the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock. Cover all with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool.
Crop the floral images with the coordinating Cottage Flowers Dies and a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Color the images with a Water Painter and the following Classic Inks: Gorgeous Grape and Mossy Meadow. Adhere to the card as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Trim the sentiment to size with a Paper Trimmer. Adhere Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with Sparkle & Shine Sequins (adhered with a Fine Tip Glue Pen) and Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
This flower would be beautiful in so many different colors. I also love the soft feel of the Abigail Rose Suite Collection, which Cottage Rose is a part of. You can find it on pages 56-57 in the NEW 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
Here’s my beautiful grandma with several of her great-grandkids…as well as the three cakes. 🙂
Love your grandmothers card. I have yet to ink up my gorgeous grape ink pad onto a project. Gonna have to give this one a try. But where are pictures of the cakes. Lol what a sweetheart.
I love your grandma! She appears to be happy surrounded by all her family!! Congratulations to her!
Your cakes are very tasty looking too. Can’t decide which one is my favorite!!
Amazing job on those cakes. Coconut is my fav but that chocolate looks amazing.I LOVE cakes. But mostly love the icing.
