Mama Elephant Designer Series | SOIREE Creative Cuts (video)

Today I have a Mama Elephant Designer Series card share showcasing the brand new Soiree Creative Cuts dies. I created a bright and fun multi-layered birthday cake topped with some sweet little banners and finished with an embossed multi-colored greeting with the coordinating Soiree Stamp Set and Creative Cut dies.

 

I embellished the cake layers using a bit of thin organza ribbon and circle sequins cut using the Confetti Creative Cuts die. I used a bit of Glossy Accents over the stamped and die cut cake stand to give it a "ceramic cake plate" look and topped the cake with the mini banner colored in with Copic Markers (the individual marker colors are linked below in the supplies).

 

I created my own plaid background using a border stamp from the Basic Borders Stamp Set on the die cut Index Card stitched rectangle. To keep the focus on the cake, I die cut the scalloped rectangle using the Index Card die and finished the edges by adding faux stitches with my favorite white pen.
