I collected this whimsical kale themed sentiment several years ago and when I got a piece of junk mail with a yummy looking cake on it in the mailbox, it was time for a card to be born! I love cake and kale…but kale doesn’t like me. It upsets my digestive tract…so I only eat it occasionally when someone serves it at dinner.

I always save pretty paper so when my friend gave me a book in a nice lavender cardstock sleeve I tucked it into my “pretty paper pile”. When State Farm sent this piece of junk mail with a tasty looking cake I thought it would pair nicely with the lavender background. MMMM.

Step One: Cut the base paper to 5 x 7 and add a cake image.

Step Two: Scan the two images into the computer.

Step Three: Use your photo software to add text to the image. It took more time than usual to add the text because I had to experiment with font size.

Altogether this was a very satisfying project! I went to the mailbox, got inspiration, and had a new greeting card within one hour. Thanks State Farm : )
