I’ve been eying the Cake Fancy stamp set for quite some time, but I never added it to my shopping cart. When a friend recently ordered two, I made an easy swap with her to give her one of my sets she wanted. And that is how Cake Fancy came to live with me. And we all lived happily ever after. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m glad I could share that short story with you today – but I’m also happy to share a card I just made with this new-to-me stamp set:
Cake Fancy, a photopolymer stamp set that’s new in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, allows us to build a multi-layered cake with a variety of toppings. The watercolored images can be mixed-and-matched to build a cake for any occasions. Here’s a look at Cake Fancy:
I added three flowers on top of my cake (stamped with Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Flirty Flamingo) and snipped out with paper snips. The trio of flowers added a bit more “fancy” to the card. Here’s a closer look:
As soon as the stamp set made its way into my craft room, I wanted to see if “Let’s Eat Cake” from Heartfelt Hexagon, another new photopolymer stamp set, would fit in the layers. I was THRILLED to see how well it fit! Here’s a look at the sentiment on my cake:
It’s a perfect pairing, don’t you think?! And here’s a look at the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set:
My cake layers are a variety of Subtle and Bright tones – if you love the mix of Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
Stamps: Cake Fancy, Heartfelt Hexagon Papers: Smoky Slate, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Basic White Inks: Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce Accessories: Paper Snips, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!

Really great card Brian!! I am still on the fence about this set but now you have given me more reasons to get it!
Thanks, Katie! I’ve been on the fence, but I was happy it made its way to me. You’ll like it, Katie! 🙂
Your card is so beautiful! This set wasn’t on my radar because I hadn’t seen any card designs with it that appealed to me. Your card totally changed my opinion.
The colors and the flower accents are perfect. I not only want the stamp set, but also a piece of cake like that!
Thanks so much!
Sue
Awww…thank you so much, Sue! I’m so happy you like my card and hope it inspired you to pick it up and make something beautiful with it. All the best!
❤️ how you make the colors work for you Brian! always.
🙂 Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
This makes me so excited that I chose this stamp set as my alternative for the Thoughtful Expressions class! I love the colors and design and that sentiment is perfect!
This is the best use of the set that I have seen! Love it!
