You're The Sweetest Sweet Treats Card

I recently purchased Altenew's Sweet Treats layering die set with 6 different layered cookies, and I thought it would be fun to do some in-laid die cutting with the cookies. I started with a white A2 card base. Then I chose a scrap of dark brown cardstock and trimmed it to fit the card front. Then I took some cream colored textured cardstock, and I arranged the bottom layers of the cookie dies over the panel, leaving room for the sentiment. I ran the panel through my die cutter and then added the panel to the dark brown cardstock. I glued both layers to the card base and then began die cutting the layers of the cookies. Once I had finished die cutting, I arranged the pieces in the negative spaces. Then I trimmed the parts that hung over the card panel.

Next, I stamped and die cut the "You're the sweetest" sentiment from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Garden Whispers project kit. I die cut a layer of fun foam with the sentiment die to add some dimension to the sentiment and then adhered the layers together and added the sentiment to the card front. 

I decided the purple glitter paper I had used for the jam-filled cookie looked a little unbalanced with only browns for everything else, so I die cut more of the same glitter paper using Altenew's Zero Waste: Ornamental Winter Pattern Die and used the little circles and stars it die cut as embellishments for the card front. 

I usually make fun fold cards, so even though this card has multiple layers, it feels like a CAS card to me! 😂

Here's a look at the process. I die cut the cookies out of the cream cardstock and then adhered the cream cardstock to the dark brown cardstock and adhered that to the A2 card base. Then I added the layers of the cookies to the negative spaces: 

Here's how the cookies look when they are all in-laid:
