Pie Anyone?? Broke Stampers Unite Challenge 082218

Hi Stampers!

Welcome to another Broke Stampers Unite Challenge.  This week is a sketch challenge from Carol. 

I immediately knew what I wanted to make. A birthday card for my daughter's grandmother using the Basket Weave embossing folder.  When that folder came out, there was a rage of people making pies with them. Grammie always has cherry pie on her birthday instead of cake.

Since she always has cherry pie, I had to use some very retired Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I told you I am trying to use up all my DSP and not be a paper hoarder 😉.

I have already had people asking me how I made this card.  Believe it or not, it is framelits.  

I started off with the layering framelits.  I used the scalloped edge framelit for the bottom pie crust from Crumb Cake cards stock.  The circle framelit was used to cut for slices of the pie filling.  I used Cherry Cobbler for cherry pie; but you could use different colors for different pies such as blueberry or peach pies.  

The top pie crust was cut from Crumb Cake using the Stitched Circle Framlelit. Then embossed with the Basket Weave embossing folder.

I glued all the layers together using liquid glue. I used my bone folder to press my two pie crusts together.  Meaning I pushed the top layer down to the bottom layer. Somewhere in there I sponged the edges and the basket weave with a sponge dauber to give it a little more dimension.

I cut a piece of pie out with my paper snips.  This was a little difficult, so you may want to use stronger scissors for these

cuts. I just eyeballed my slice of pie.  You could measure out the center on the back of the pie with your pencil if you wanted to be more precise.  I wanted it to be more realistic- Grammie would just cut a slab of pie out for her birthday 😋.  

I layered my DSP (Designer Series Paper) onto my base card.  I, also, layered my two banners on my card base.  One stamped with Happy Birthday. I twisted some gold thread behind my pie.  I used a dimensional to raise the pie slice just slightly.  I colored my pie filling on the top layer with a Cherry Cobbler marker to emphasize the lattice work on the pie crust.  Oh man, now I am getting hungry for real pie!

Let's check out what Terri and Carol created this week before we start eating pie. Don't forget to join us on Facebook to share your creations with us.
