So, if you follow me on
Instagram (@ScarletteDesigns) or if you follow my business page on
Facebook (EliseCTMH), then you probably remember seeing this photo and that I was working with the NEWEST Close To My Heart Annual Idea (AI) Book products recently released on August 1st. Were you wondering what I was working on or how it was going to work out? I guess by the dimensions on the background photo, you may have been able to see that they were small enough to be cards, or possibly pocket scrapbooking, either way, I know a lot of you were totally psyched about the beautiful colors and even with the stamp sets!
So, here's the debut and how I created everything... (For the first card anyways! LOL)

| Handmade Card designed and created by Elise Sosa |
As you can see here, I started with my Cricut shapes first, using the Exclusive
CTMH Artistry cartridge, and then designed the rest of the card around these. I only knew one color that I wanted to start with, and that was the new Close To My Heart Color of the Year,
SEA GLASS, and I knew that I wanted my card to be universal/unisex, where the recipient could be male or female. Then of course it was trial and error to figure out what color combo was perfect, because not only did I want it to look good, I also wanted the colors to be realistic and representative of a real layered birthday cake... so, I asked a random question to my Facebook audience, and they posted they liked cake flavors such as Strawberry, Chocolate, and of course Cheesecake! (I mean, who doesn't love Cheesecake??) So, I used their suggestions (and included my favorite) and below is the result!! What do ya think? I thought it looked incredibly YUMMY! :) And to make it even look more realistic, I decided to use my
Shimmer Brush and
Liquid Glass, because who doesn't love a nice glossy frosting (or icing, depending on what part of the country your from! LOL)
So, 30 of these later...
A little bit of heat embossing on Black Cardstock, an addition of that beautiful
Sea Glass Glitter paper, and the
Uptown Fundamentals Paper and
Ribbon, and Voila!
