Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! We’re showcasing our favorite new products from 2020 Sale-A-Bration brochure. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Happy New Year stampers! I am starting the new year with a Celebration cake. Who doesn’t love cake? I tried to keep the card fairly simple and something you would all want to use again and again when a cake is needed.
My celebration cake is created with the Happy Birthday To You Sale-A-Bration stamp set. When I first saw this cake, I thought it would be beautiful for showers and weddings. I never seem to have that kind of set on hand. But after playing it with and going for the more simple approach, I believe it can be used as any celebration that requires cake. Who wouldn’t want all of those roses to eat?? 🙂
It does not show well in the photo but the flowers have Wink Of Stella on the petals. I stamped the cake and sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink. I did not want a dark cake. I was planning on a soft look with all the colors.
I used a variety of the Stampin’ Blends to color the cake and flowers. I outlined the cake definition lines and shaded the cake stand. I debated on fussy cutting a flower and layering it on the cake. But my plan all along was a pretty card that would not be too time consuming to make. I look at a lot of the stamps and make my choices based on that. All of the colors are listed in the supply list at the bottom of the page.
The ribbon is a member of the Parisian Blossoms Suite. The suite is one of the “I want it all” suites of products. It is the Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon. I chose to just frame with the ribbon instead of overpowering the cake with a bow.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created!

great card Jackie. I always forget what a difference wink of stella makes. Love your colors and the little dots are perfect.
Thank You! I have it on my table so that I see it. That is key for me.

Beautiful coloring, Jackie! Wonderful framing with the ribbon!
Thank you! I love to color!
Beautiful! Such sweet colors and ribbon treatment. ♥
Thank you! I love that gorgeous ribbon!
This card makes me reconsider pastel colors! Beautiful card. I like that you didn’t use if for a birthday card and showed other possibilities.
This is so beautiful Jackie and your coloring is amazing. Well done!
The “softness” is a good look for this stamp set! Well done, Jackie!
With this card, you make it look so easy that anyone could do it, and achieve a stunning card.
Such a pretty card! I really like the outlining on the flowers instead of coloring them in solid color. The outlining adds so much dimension.
Super pretty card! I just ordered this, and can’t wait to use it! Love what you did with the ribbon also!
Such a pretty card, Jackie! Love the light touch you used coloring – I need to work on that!
Jackie this is a beautiful card and I would eat the roses too!
I love the way you colored your roses, Jackie! Just enough color to make them stand out beautifully!
