Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
I am so excited about this weeks Inspiration Site! I picked it because it is lead by one of the most creative people I know Mr. "Duff Goldman" the true Ace of Cakes! There is almost too much inspiration on the Charm City Cakes site!
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I've uploaded 5 of my favorites which are shown below. So you may just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. (Click on the images below to see them bigger.) Whether you choose one of those, or pick something entirely different from the website, please let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece. (I suggest you put the URL on a line by itself - so that we're sure everyone can link off to it.) All inspiration should link back to the Duff Gordon - Charm City Cakes site.
Use the keyword: IC412 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your keywords.
As a new hostess for this challenge, I have truly been astounded by the wonderful galleries we end up with! So try to remember to revisit the gallery on Tuesday or Wednesday just to admire the complete exhibit of our inspirations! YOU represent a very creative community of stampers and artists on SCS!
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.
I love this challenge site - so many beautiful cakes. I saw inspiration in several. I don't have many stamps, so instead of the flowers on the cake, I substituted with WEEDS .

Wind storm in Seattle has lights out today. I will play on my iPad and iPhone using cellular until the batteries die. If I have to drop off, please keep having fun without me. I will be making cards by candlelight in my craft room with hopes that the house doesn't blow away. Smiles, Audrie

I love the Ace of Cakes programs on foodnetwork. Duff is a hoot!!! Not only is he talented he is very generous with that talent. GREAT site.
Here's my card.
Lights still not on. After I check out the wonderful cards posted in the past hour I am going to conserve the remainder of my iPad battery to check energy updates. I will be back tomorrow to post my last card.
Hi everyone. I had a chance to play in today's challenge. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration. I have wanted to take cake baking classes. This inspires me! I fashioned my card after the Dia de los Muertos cake - minus the skeletons.
I have been away for SCS for a long time - so long in fact that I have lost all my old photos etc. and have created a new account.
So, this is my first challenge for a while!! And what a fun challenge it was!!
Thanks!
I hand stamped the background paper with ink on wet paper... I have called them Beautiful Blooms because I think they look nice - but they actually use the Botanical Blooms stamp set from SU!
The colours are much more vivid IRL.
Lights just came on! You don't know how much you appreciate coffee until you can't make it! (smiles) Thank goodness for iPads with the cellular network in a crunch. I'll be adding another card today (while catching up on laundry) now that everything is back to normal.
