Tin-Games Sugar Rush

Hey Y'all! Some hot-air balloon greetings coming your way. This cute little stamp is from the Tin-Games Sugar Rush clear stamp set illustrated by Barbara Sproatmeyer. 

I stamped the balloon onto violet cardstock and cut it out using my scan 'n cut machine. I added some Stardust glitter to make it pop. The clouds were cut out from white glitter paper using the clouds included with the Array of Rainbows die set. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments clear set and I used it together with the Simple Sentiment Strips die set.

Leave Layers & Tutorial

Hello Friends! Today I want to share a card & tutorial I made for the Whimsy Stamps World Cardmaking Celebrations last weekend. I used the Leaf Layers clear stamp set from Whimsy's Dove Art collection together with the Scalloped Circle Frames die set.

If you haven't taken part in our WCMD celebrations and missed my tutorial you can view it HERE

   

It is a fairly quick and easy card which you can create with any type of branch/twig stamps or flower stamps, fir branch stamps (think Christmas) etc. Just be creative and get inspired.

Whimsy October 1st Release - Gargoyle: 'I've Got My Eyes On You!'

Happy TGIF! Today is the last of 4 Halloween releases by Whimsy stamps. I have an A2 sized card to share today where I used the utterly adorable Gargoyle and Friends clear stamp set by Dustin Pike. 

I colored this cutie using Dr. Ph. Martins India inks. The image was stamped onto mixed media paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. To have the Autumn Hues papers peek through I used the Revealers 3 die. 

To make the sentiment stand out more I stamped it on black cardstock with white pigment ink (Hero Hues Unicorn). I then cut it out using the Comic Speech Bubbles die set and adhered it to the card front with foam dots. A few yellow and purple sequins finish off my card.

Out Of Space Birthday Greetings, Tiramisu Cake & New Business Venture

Hey Crafty Folks. It's the last day of September already, where did the time go?? Here is a card I made back in August but I never came around to share it here with you. 

It's a little alien slimline birthday card I created using several August products together with earlier released stamps. The background is from the Lost in Space Slimline Papers and the dies I used are the Revealers 2 dies and UFO die set. The stamps are from Krista's Over the Moon clear stamp set that has been released earlier.

New business venture....

I also want to share a birthday cake I made for a friend. It is a Tiramisu Cake with Cherries. I will soon be opening a home based baking shop and cakes like this will then be available as special order / custom cakes. It is filled with a mascarpone cream, has a layer of freshly made cherry filling and a layer of espresso-amaretto dipped ladyfingers. The decoration around the cake are chocolate dipped ladyfingers and chocolate pieces finished off with a pink ribbon. Stay tuned as I will soon share more details about this 

Thanks for visiting!

Merry Pup-Mas

Happy Tuesday Friends! It's time for some Christmas cheer....puppy Christmas cheer 😀🐶 The new super adorable 'Pups for Christmas' clear stamp set from Whimsy's Crissy Armstrong line was used to create my first Christmas card for this season. I am totally in love with this new set and one of the reason is that these cute pups look so much like my Luna when she was a pup. Crissy told me that Luna was in fact her inspiration when she drew these super cute images. So of course I had to color this sweet little cutie and make her a fawn little Boxer pup 💗 

...and here is Luna 💓 when she was 3 months old. That was last year in October.
 

I created the background using Distress Spray Stains (salvaged patina & prize ribbon). I then sprinkled on some white acrylic paint and white shimmery mica powder. I also drizzled on some water to create even more texture. The large white star was added using white pigment, white ink, white marble glitter and the Twinkle Cluster stencil. The image was stamped onto Strathmore mixed media paper and colored using Caran D'ache Pablo pencils.

Halloween Shaker - Trick or Treat

Hello! Today I am sharing a cute and not so creepy Halloween slimline shaker card. I used the NEW I Want Candy clear stamp set from Whimsy's Krista Heij-Barber line. 

I also used the NEW Bats Galore slimline embossing folder on the shaker frame that I die cut using the Slimline Scenic Window die. To create the shaker windows background I used the Vintage Halloween 6x6 papers. I filled the shaker using Sparkletz - Creepy.
