Winter Fun on the Beach

Hello Friends! How would you feel as a snowman enjoying the beach? Well the fella on my card is visibly enjoying it. 😉⛄

To create my card I used the Calm Christmas clear stamp set from Whimsy's most recent release. I stamped onto Arches hot press paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and colored with Dr. Ph. Martins Radiant Liquid Watercolors. I fussy cut the image and adhered it to the card front using foam dots. 

The sentiment is included with the set. I stamped it on watercolor paper, colored it with matching colors and cut it out using the Quick Strip die set. A few enamel dots finish off my CAS style card.

It's looking a lot like Christmas - Whimsy Mini Release

Hey Friends! It's looking a lot like Christmas.....I know it's not even been Halloween but I am a sucker for all things Christmas 🎄🎅 And the newest Whimsy Mini Release is just right up my alley. My absolute favorite time of the year and creating Christmas cards just rounds it all up. So it's official now there wont be any more Halloween cards on my blog for this year.....sorry for all you Halloweeners 🤗. Oh well...maybe one more on Halloween day...IF the mood strikes LOL.

Ok enough blabber, onto my creations for this release today.

First up is a Christmas card I made using the NEW Vintage Poinsettia clear stamp set. Oh is this stamp set so gorgeous with the beautiful poinsettia blossom and holly leaves. To complete the vintage look I colored my images using Derwent Graphitint pencils and pan colors. I stamped the images with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto Arches hot press watercolor paper and fussy cut after coloring. 
I wanted to add some bling to my vintage inspired card so I stamped the NEW Slimline Nordic  Background with Versamark ink and heat embossed using Ranger's Enchanted Gold embossing powder. It's my favorite gold embossing powder, it sparkles so nicely. 
I used the Slimline Cornered Rectangles dies to cut out my background as well as the card base. The stamped sentiments are included with the NEW Vintage Poinsettia clear stamp set. I wanted the word Christmas to stand out more so I used the Christmas Large Word die. I cut it out several times and layered it to have a 3D effect. 

My second creation for today is another slimline card using the awesome Slimline SurReally Cool Christmas papers as my focal point.

These pattern papers are amazing and they make for really quick cards. I chose this gorgeous girl holding a star as focal point for my card. I cut out a frame from white glitter paper using the Slimline Scenic Countryside die set. I used the Merry Large Word die for my sentiment. I cut out the word Merry twice from black cardstock and once in satin gold for the top layer. Done was my card! You could simply mass produce this card changing out the patterned paper for each card.

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.

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.

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
