Sweet Soiree Suite for SSC176

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made using the Sweet Soiree Suite for the new challenge at Sunday Stamps!.  Say that 3 times! :)

What's in the Sweet Soiree Suite, you say?  Well I used three of the main items in the suite: the Cake Soiree Bundle, the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit and the Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP.  Isn't that sweet?

I will have to admit that this weeks challenge was a little bit of a challenge for me.  I don't think I have ever made a card with this kind of layout.  Thanks for the challenge, Heather!  Now that it's finished, it's definitely growing on me.  I may have to try this layout for another card creation.

Here's what's cookin' at Sunday Stamps! this week.

My mother-in-law will turn 92 in three short months.  I love that I could make her card extra special with the die cut numbers ready to go from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit . Yippee, I have another card done BEFORE the birthday celebration!

The Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit was one of the first items on my must have list after seeing it in person at Onstage last Fall..  There are so many beautiful pieces in it, and they match everything in the Sweet Soiree Suite perfectly.  I have to admit that I was hoarding the kit.  It's easy to do when the pieces are so pretty.  You just want to look at them and dream about what you can do with them. Do you know what I mean?

I used the following pieces from the kit: the die cut/colored flower arrangement, the Marina Mist scalloped velvet ribbon, the silver and white foil washi tape and the die cut numbers.  

To make all the silver accents in the card really pop, I added 3 silver foil die cut leaves from the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies and  2 Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes by the "92".

Now, if I really get my act together, I can make her a matching treat bag so that I can use one of those cute tassels too! ;)
