These pasta products are always fun to get out and make new cards with them, and The Paper Players PP#786 Food challenge gave me a reason to play with the dies and embossing folder today!
What I used:
- Spellbinders Al Dente Embossing folder, Stay Saucy stamp set, Ciao Spaghetti dies, Pasta Friends dies, Dish It Up dies
- Silver card stock
- Altenew Obsidian Black ink pad
- Card stock scraps
I started to use embroidery thread to wrap around the fork tines but it got too fussy. I opted to die cut and intertwine card stock spaghetti in pinks and a pasta yellow color. It was still fiddly and took a while to get it how I wanted it.
I love the embossing folder with the detailed pasta on it but didn't want it to take away from the fork-load of pasta, so I put a smaller piece off to one side. I also wanted to keep the card as clean and simple as I could. I added the thinnest strip of silver card stock to separate the pink from the white card front and it matches the fork.
The sentiment is one of many in this stamp set but for my "custom" spaghetti colors I went with the plain pasta one. (Side note: I pulled out leftover pasta for lunch and used a few pieces in my photo.)
A fun little make...and by little I mean I measured wrong and ended up with a mini mini slimline card at 2 3/4" x 6 1/4" which is petite. Lol.
Thanks for stopping by today.

How stinkin cute is this! Love the colorful past twirled on the fork!
Thanks Lisa! I love all the pasta sets.
You had me with pink pasta, Carol! This card is as cute as can be. The pasta embossing folder adds such yummy texture. And that spaghetti! You did an awesome job winding it onto the fork. The sentiment pulls everything together perfectly. Thank you for playing in my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
Thank you so much Ann!!!
Very sweet! Love the pun and the visual link - pink pasta?!! Thanks for joining in with us at The Paper Players.
Oh my gosh, this is so cute! I just love that pasta EF and your little fork of spaghetti makes for a fun focal point! Thanks for playing with our food challenge this week at the Paper Players!
Great design for this challenge and of course, using one of my favorite die sets! Looks fab in pink and I like the skinny shape of the card, even if it wasn't intentional. So happy to see your card in the gallery, thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week!
Carol, the card might be piccola, but it packs a mighty punch! I love the pink pasta (btw one of my favorite embossing folders!). I love the embroidery thread for the pasta! Fabulous card. So glad you shared it with us at the Paper Players this week
