Another card with yet another cartridge! This time I chose Simply Charmed. This card is for a couple that is getting married in May. Their wedding invite was in blue, that is why I chose to use blue papers for the card.
I wanted the cake itself to have a shimmer, but unfortunately because I live in a small city I can't just buy one piece of shimmer paper in the color I want. So, I made my own. First, I cut the cake out. Then, I painted it with pearl fabric paint. After it dried I ran it through my Cuttlebug with my d'vine swirls folder. It turned out just how I hoped it would!
I added the flowers and the pearls to give it a finished look. I also colored the cake stand with a silver sharpie marker to make it look shiny. Finally, I attached the cake to the card using pop dots and tied a ribbon at the top.
What I Used:
* Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge - Cake Cut at 3.5"
* Navy Blue Cardstock Cut at 11" x 4.25" - Scored at 5.5"
* Light Blue Cardstock Cut at 5" x 3.75"
* Medium Blue Card Stock Cut at 4.75" x 3.25"
* D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug Folder
* Love Language Cuttlebug Folder (part of a die/emboss combo)
* 2 mm pearls by The Paper Studio
* Tulle Flowers by Wilton
* Silver Ribbon (from Wal-Mart)
* Pearl White Fabric Paint
* Silver Sharpie
There isn't anything too sparkly about this one, but there is lots of shimmer. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check back in a few days for something new!

This is beautiful! The cake looks so real- such a great idea to paint the paper! Love it!
This is so pretty! I think your shimmer paper is better than what you can usually buy. It has more 'shimmer'!
And, you've given me an idea to try. Thanks.

Oh! thought i would share a link where i get some of my shimmery papers..I don't have a LSS anymore except for Micheal's and they don't carry the shimmer cardstock,so I get mine through the Paper Temptress https://www.papertemptress.com/ she has great prices and her selection is really wonderful.
I found a 15% off code as well,not sure if it still works....TJ15.
Hope that helps!
