This week the lovely Lesley is hosting a Happy Birthday challenge at The Paper Players. I decided to feature one of my favorite Designer Series Paper on my card, by using two patterns from the Spice Cake collection. I hope you enjoy today's fun to make card!
The Stampin' Schach Design Tips
- Frame it! Stampin' Up!'s new Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is perfect for showcasing an image OR an oval of Designer Series Paper. I opted to focus on an oval of the Pool Party Country Pattern from the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper collection.
- Flag it! Give any sentiment flair by flagging the end. I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Family Reunion set.
- Fussy cut it! This beautiful flower is snipped from one of the patterns of Spice Cake.
- Finish with pearls! What could be more perfect than adding Basic Pearls to the Scallop Trim Border!
I hope you enjoyed today's card, and that you will join us in this week's challenge. Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think. Your comments are always important to me, and I do enjoy reading and responding to them. Of course, if you ever have questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time...

Wishing I had a fall birthday now, lol!!!
Love this card! Stunning! I never even noticed that pattern when looking through my paper earlier today. TFS! I need to case to showcase for my customers now!
This is so beautiful! What an awesome layout! Love how you used the Designer Frame and cut out the flower! That gorgeous Spice Cake DSP is on the top of my list of things to get out of the new mini! What a wonderful way of showcasing it! Can't wait to make some fall cards! Hope you're having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
Your card is simply delicious! I love all of the little details that go into making this card so special:-) How did you make the oval framed piece? So pretty.
Thanks for sharing!
Inky hugs,

I love this card! I'm a huge fan of Spice Cake DSP and I love the way you used it on this project. You consistently amaze me.
And your blog is AWESOME! The best I've seen in the stamping world.
This is absolutely stunning, Ann! I love the the idea of adding the DSP to the inside of the frame. Very clever, as was cutting out that flower. One of my favorites of yours for sure. :)
Wow, what a gorgeous card and almost no ink! I love how you cut out and stacked the flower, and also love the embossed oval frame.
What a stunning birthday card ~ I love all the elements here and I can't believe I haven't used my designer frames yet ~ Thanks for the reminder and inspiration ~ have a wonderful day :-)
What a beautiful card! I can't wait for my Spice Cake DSP to arrive!
Very nice: excellent use of the designer paper!
Hi Ann.......GREAT CARD! But, I, too, am wondering how you made the oval frame. This is a definite CASE.......with my own twist and credit to you, of course! Thanks for sharing.........
I LOVE THIS CARD! The way you layered a piece over the border punch and the pearls - um, um, um!!!!! I just received the new EF and am going to be experimenting with it and you've just enticed me into my stamping room a lot quicker now! Thanks for blessing my day and inspiring my art.
Woof, woof, woof (dancing and yipping wildly) yippee Brody's going to be OK yippee!!!!! Swoon - isn't he cute! :)))) Now be careful and don't break those stitches (listen to your older and not wiser girlfriend).
LOVE IT!! But then, I love everything you make! You're super talented kiddo!! :) Thanks for inspiring!!
Perfectly fall and spicy! You are the master at fussy cutting - this is beautiful!
This is beautiful, Ann. I especially like the flower punched from the DSP.
OH!! Beautiful, gorgeous, great card. I didn't like the paper so much in looking through mini, but now its a must have. Love the whole layout.
OMG, this is gorgeous. Love the colors in the paper. Love the way you did the flower and the embossed frame. TFS
LOVE LOVE LOVE this card. The colors and details are absolutely perfect! I love the way you layered the frame and cut out the flower. It is beautiful!
Love everything about this card Ann! The colors, the fussy cut flower, the oval, the pearls - you get the idea!
So pretty! Love how you used the embossed frame, cut-out flower, and pearls.
Well this is stunning! and pretty!! and so wonderfully creative!! You rock, Ann..never cease to amaze me!
Love your card and the papers you used. The colors are so pretty for this time of year! Great detail to the card.
Oh Ann, I LOVE this! The layout is stunning and perfect for featuring the gorgeous Spice Cake paper. Love the way you've used the embossed oval too and the hand-cut flower is beautiful. Love it all! ((hugs)
It's gorgeous! Love the colors, the patterned paper, the frame, just beautiful.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!!

Beautiful, beautiful layers.
Oooo, I really like this one. I love the colors you've used. The spice cake dsp really is perfect for fall. The browns & turquoise are great together. Thanks for the tip about fussy cutting our dsp. Sometimes forget I don't need to just use it as my paper, I can use it for the details.
Great card!! Now I have to go look up that frame embossing folder! LOL!! I don't remember seeing that one.
So beautiful Ann. I love the pearls down the scallops and the way you snipped out the flower. SO clever!
Your fussy cut flowers are DYNAMIC, Ann! Wow! I thought at first you had colored them, but either way, they're a hit with me. :)
Beautiful card. I love this wonderful fall paper. Thanks for sharing.
Spice cake with carmel frosting is as yummy as your card is! You nailed it with the details! Amazing! Yrah, I missed that embossing frame folder thingy too. The pearls are just perfect on the scalloped edge and then middle of that fantastic flower! Is there anything else in the center of the flower or just the design? Simply stunning, love it!
Miss Muffy or Bordy needs a pearl studded turquoise collar and they would match this gorgeous card!

What a wonderful card! Love how you did the oval frame and the scallops down the edge with the pearls. I love that paper. The flower was great too. It really is such a beautiful card.
oh that is so beautiful. I'm so happy you showed this paper, it is not that beautiful in the mini, lol. Now I know. How did you get the center to cut in the embossed frame? LOVE this, so pretty
This is just so absolutely stunning! I love everything about it - how you have literally woven the elements together. Gorgeous!
Beautiful card, Ann! Kathy in Az.
Just gorgeous! I love that you used one of the flowers from the DP! Such a pretty creation!
Beautiful card Ann. The Spice Cake paper so gorgeous. The way you incorporated the frame into your design is so classy
Ok, Ann!! You have to stop making these fabulous creations immediately! You are making the rest of us look bad! ;) This gorgeous work of crafty goodness ROCKS!! Perfect blend of patterns and pearls. Just so you know, I am NOT adding this stamp to my wish list...this month anyway. I don't know how it is that you can make EVERY stamp set you work with a "must have" in my book. Now, can you bottle and sell that "Schach-tastic" mojo of yours? :)
Beautiful card and choice of colors. That dsp is on my order list. You make me want it even more.
Ann, I love that you cut out a pattern from the DP and used it as one of your images. The colors of these papers are gorgeous. I can hardly wait to get my Spice Cake DP on Friday. Thank you for sharing your designer tips. I love the idea if flagging it. :)

Very elegant Ann. So love the way you used the Designer Frames!
Ann this is GORGEOUS! I just LOVE the Spice Cake DSP, and they way you used the oval in the embossed frame is amazing.
The banner sentiment and pearl look fab and LOVE the ala carte flower stamp. WOW! Just gorgeous.
Hugs.
Oh, this is just heavenly, Ann! I love that Spice Cake paper and it's great for fall birthdays (hint, hint). LOL I just bought the pack for myself and cannot wait to play with it. I think it's my favorite DSP since Urban Oasis.
Hi there Ann, LOve the card! Spice cake seems to be the perfect colors and designs! LOve your addition of pearls.
This card is so amazing! What a great color choice for the tail end of summer and fall coming rapidly. This also looks like a great idea when you need something in a bit of a hurry. I have never cut pieces out of the dsp, but I am really going to have to try it.
WOW! THIS IS AMAZING! What a stunning creation~
Ann, this card is just full of gorgeous-ness! The colors are amazing and the details and thought that you put into this are just perfect. I NEED to get this DSP. Looking forward to working with you over the next couple of months!
Gorgeous!! I love those colors - and loving that new DSP! Thanks for all your shared inspiration!!
Hi Ann!
This is elegant and gorgeous! I love the way you made the paper flowers your focal point and the stunning way you added the embossed oval.
Oh my SQUEEEEE!!!! I've been SO busy the past few days, I haven't had as much computer time as I normally get. So...I'm a little late getting to this, but I love it - everything about it!!!
What a beautiful card!! Following your blog from SC now :)
I love this card!! Can't wait until the Spice Cake DSP arrives in Australia! :)
Gorgeous! Love it, love it, love it! Love the layout too! Hugs,
I'm totally doing this. AND since I have the DSP on my MDS, I can do it as many times as I want! :) Thanks!
