Exclusive products!

Hi everyone!
I have to admit I was a bit excited to see these as new exclusive products for A piece of cake designs!!!!

I just had to use them straight away!!!!! So here is a layout using both of these!

I used my mask to doodle the shapes over a misted background! And I must say I love the SEI tumble dye spray!! Awesome colour as you can see here. I removed the nozzle from the bottle and used the tip of it like a pen to scribble on my background!

I have also used the polaroid frame and some of the cute embellishment stickers from the kit. The sticker sheets are so easy and versatile and make embellishing nice and easy!!


I also have this one to share but I apologise for the poor photo quality. I tried and tried to get a better photo but I just couldn't :( . I find that sometimes this happens because I wet my paper to use watercolours etc and then it tends to crinkle a little making shadows when I photograph it.

I began by machine stiching on my page and then I spritzed with water. I then used drops of theTumble dye spray and a pink watercolour paint to create my watercoloured effect background.
I loved this flower sticker in the kit so I used this as my main embellishment along with another gorgeous "cherry flair". I added in some doodle leaves and some doodles from the stencil again along with some sequins from this kit and past kits. The embellishments in the "cupcake kit" made it easy to create a simple but effective page!

GUEST DESIGNER - Sharmaine Kruijver - Loving Your Trampoline

Today I am here to share the last layout from our guest Sharmaine Kruijver. Sharmaine sure did get busy with last months kit....and a last share means it must be getting close to reveal time for November's releases!

Here is the kit she used:

Here is Sharmaine's layout : Sharmaine has used our Cork Arrows Flair and an Exclusive Flair which was in the October Main Cake Kit

Here is what she had to say:

I love that there was a piece of black cardstock in the kit. I love using black as my background! For this page I’ve used some of the scraps that I’ve created (love being able to say that, as well as do that!!). I’ve also coloured the alpha stickers black, to fit the colours on my page.

Love that cluster of thread under the flair! The transparent stickers were a part of the kit too.

The exclusive flair:

I love how Sharmaine has coloured in the alpha stickers to match her layout, what a nifty idea!

Thank you so very much for being a Guest at APOCD Sharmaine! I hope you enjoyed working with the kit as much as we enjoyed having you as a guest xxx

Stay tuned APOCD followers, I absolutely cannot wait to share the exclusives I have been working on for this months release!

My little gardener....

Hi everyone. First I need to apologise for being MIA. I have had gastro twice this month and then day surgery so sadly I haven't been very creative with the latest kit. But I have got some to share with you now and today I will start with this one!

I have created this layout using the "cupcake kit". 

I loved the papers with the frames on it in the kit and cut out three of them for this layout plus a gorgeous cluster of flowers! Yep I actually did some fussy cutting! LOL!

I used some more papers that I have torn into thin strips and added them with some of the cute embellishment stickers to my background of mists and stitching. 

I cut the top from the manilla tag and also used the aqua tag from the kit to add layers behind my small photos.

I also used one of the awesome "cherry flairs" and added in some of my own enamel dots and a little bit of washi tape. I cut the butterflies out of a piece of tissue paper that I bought a discount store!

Well I will be back with more real soon!!!

GUEST DESIGNER - Sharmaine Kruijver

Today I am here to share another layout from our Guest Sharmaine Kruijver. Sharmaine has created up a storm working with our October Main Cake kit.

Here is Sharmaine's layout : I love the vertical design of this! So different but engaging and flows so well!

Here is what Sharmaine said about her layout:
Sometimes I just like to make pages that are clean, this was one of those. I ripped a section of vellum and attached it to the Kraft cardstock. I backed my photo with the wood veneer card (LOVE THAT!), I then cut out an arrow, from the “A-Lister” paper, added that to my page along with the Manufacturer strip (with the words Moments Documented) and the grey graph paper.

I then cut off a third of the Kraft paper, punched a semicircle from a side and backed it with some of the “Found” pattern paper. I typed up my journaling, on a shipping tag and adhered this to my layout. Adding flair finished off my page. I thought about adding paint or texture paste but, like I said, sometimes a clean page makes me happy.

Sharmaine used a Flair from the Painted - Version 2 set available in our store 

Here are some close ups:

Thanks so much for another awesome share Sharmaine!
