Flopsy’s got an egg – a very LARGE egg and Georgia, the Design Team Member who created this adorable card, says it MUST be filled with chocolate – YUM! It’s also a very fancy egg in that it was made using the same great paper she used in the background of the card.

A lovely pull-out card by Mandy! She used a library pocket and created the little red tag featuring Celie and Boo Kitty. When the card is in the pocket the little silver heart charm dangles on the outside. Very lovely.

This tri-shutter card was made by Design Team Member Thao (also known on SplitCoastStampers as Cal Bear Stamper). Simply amazing. The colors are soft and so very happy – makes me want to sprout some wings and live in the land of fairies. :)

You can click on the card to see a bigger version.

All the sentiment stamps are by Stampin’ Up and she used re-inkers to color everything in.

Another wonderful project by Design Team Member Georgia. She created this cute St. Patty’s Day card using Herbert Mouse – doesn’t he look so dapper in his suit amongst the clover! Georgia said she’s a wee bit Irish and that if you ever get a chance to go to Ireland you simply must kiss the Blarney Stone. Smooch!

A wonderful card by Mandy!  She used Pixie Poppy as the focal point and layered some ever so lovely papers and added embellishments. What a nice no-sew technique for Poppy’s dress – she stamped it and cut it out of the same paper from the background. Adorable.

Yeah! The very first Design Team project is in! This one is by Georgia and it’s just darling. She altered a tin to create a Tooth Fairy Box. The sparkle on little Pixie Poppy’s dress was created using a Spica glitter pen by Copic. Too cute!

I’m excited to say I’ve just sent out email messages to what will hopefully be the new Eat Cake Graphics Design Team. Thank you so very much to everyone who submitted.

Stay tuned for some great upcoming stuff! Wahoooo!

Bye.

Hi All.

It’s been quite awhile since Eat Cake Graphics has had a design team, and now that this blog is finally up and running I’d really like to start again.

So if you are interested, I’d like to hear from you.

Here are the particulars…
REQUIREMENTS

1. The ability to either take good quality photos OR if you can’t take photos I will need the projects so I can photograph them
2. Prefer that you have a blog or belong to some sort of stamping forum so that you can post your monthly projects
3. Promote Eat Cake Graphics Design Team (I can provide a little graphic badge for your blog)
4. You’d be signing up for a 3 month commitment

WHAT YOU GET

1. A $30 a month credit towards Eat Cake Graphics rubber stamps (not good towards supplies or quilt patterns)
2. Free shipping once a month
3. You can keep your projects IF you can provide good quality photos. The only time I might ask to borrow them is if I do a stamp show.

WHAT I’D LIKE EACH MONTH

1. 3 to 4 projects – either cards or other types of projects, I’m pretty open. I’d prefer a mix of simple and a bit more complex.
2. You must use an Eat Cake Graphics image as the main part of your project. I don’t mind if you use other stamps in your projects, but the purpose of this Design Team is to promote Eat Cake Graphics’ stamps.

IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN, PLEASE SEND ME (HOLLY)…

1. An email with your name and a little bit about yourself
2. A link to your blog if you have one
3. Pictures of at least three projects you’ve created

Thanks so very much. I look forward to hearing from you.

Bye. Holly

Ok, so I know for many there might be snow on the ground, but here in California between the rain clouds we have sunshine. So I thought I would stamp this little card because goodness knows, the dog always needs a walk.

For this card I wanted the background to be subdued a bit, so I stamped the trees and the grass in a light shade of green. I used my Copic color sheet and found shades of green and a very light shade of brown to color the trees in. I went back in with a makeup sponge and with the same green ink pad, dabbed in around Patrick and Dudley dog. I did the same dabbing only with light blue for a little color in the sky.

1. Start with a light-teal blue card for the background. Stamp box of dog bones and dish on background.
2. For the stripe I used the waves Cookie Cutter border die (by Quickutz #CC-BDR-003). I ran part of the wave through my Cuttlebug using a dots embossing folder (UPC 093573316043).
   
   I added a little bit of white paint to the dots so they would stand out (you could also use a light grit sand paper and slightly sand them to probably get the same effect).
3. Cut out a circle of white cardstock and stamp Felicia and Sparky. Color them in – I used my Copic markers.
4. Cut out a scalloped circle.
5. Mount everything to background and then stamp saying.
