Frosted Cake Card from Time for Cake Kit – Part #1

TIME FOR CAKE ALTERNATES PART 1

I am so excited to share the first card in my series of alternate ideas using the August Paper Pumpkin Kit! The moment my kit arrived, I couldn’t wait to dive in and start creating, and this frosted cake card is the result of that creative spark.

Shimmery Frosting You’ll Want to Eat!
One of the standout features of this card is the irresistibly shimmery frosting. Doesn’t it look good enough to eat? To achieve this effect, I used Shimmer Emboss Paste, which adds just the right amount of sparkle and texture, making the cake truly come to life. For a touch of whimsy, I sprinkled some In Color Dots on top to mimic candy confetti, adding both color and dimension to the card.

“Eat Cake” in Style
The “eat cake” sentiment is a fun, bold statement on this card. I used Metallics Specialty Paper and paired it with the Stampin’ Up! Mini Alphabet Dies to cut out the letters. This combination of materials gives the letters a metallic sheen that complements the shimmer of the frosting perfectly. The background of the card was created using the So Swirly dies, adding a playful yet elegant touch to the overall design.

Get Your Hands on the Refills!
If you missed out on this month’s kit or if you loved it as much as I did and want to make more, I have great news! Refills are now available in my online store. But hurry—last month’s refills sold out in less than a day! So if you’re in love with this kit, don’t wait too long to grab yours.

About the Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit
The Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit is perfect for celebrating birthdays in style. It features an elegant color palette detailed with rose gold foiling and comes with multiple card bases, including two standard bases and one accordion card fold style, along with coordinating envelopes. With so many options, this kit is a fantastic way to celebrate the ones you love with handmade cards that are sure to impress.

Free PDF and Video Tutorial
To make things even easier, I’ve put together a free PDF that includes step-by-step instructions, measurements, and a complete supply list for this card. You can find it in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. Additionally, I’ve created a video tutorial that walks you through how to use the Embossing Paste I used for the frosting, along with several other fun techniques. Be sure to check it out for more tips and tricks!
