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!

Hugs!

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.

Surreally Creepy & Mixed Media ATC's

Hello Fellow Crafters! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! I have two projects I want to share with you for some weekend inspiration. 

First up is a surreally creepy slimline card using where I am using several of the newly released products: The NEW Surreally Cool  Halloween slimline papers together with the NEW EEK! large word and shadows die, the NEW Slimline ATC Windows die set and the NEW Antique ATC Frames die set.

I kept the card pretty simple because I wanted the awesome paper to be the main focal point. Besides the large word EEK! and the frames only two complementing orange ghosts are added. I also love the popping green-orange-black color combo.

My second project is not scary at all. I had a play with the newly released ATC Frames and Signature clear stamps and NEW Slimline ATC Windows die set.

When I saw the new ATC stamps and dies I knew I wanted to do some mixed media ATC's. Actually these ATC's are my first ATC's at all. I am primarily a card maker...I would even say 99% cardmaker...lol. I was never into ATC's, they are too small for my taste and I am not into trading so they never made sense to me. But I have to say with Whimsy's new ATC stamps and dies it was so much fun creating these and fast too. Even if I am still 99% cardmaker these will definitely not be my last ATC's I am sure! I will include them together with a card and give them away as a gift. Or add them as a tag onto a gift.

Whimsy Stamps Halloween Release III - Jeepers Creepers

Are you ready for another Halloween release? Then you want to pop over to the Whimsy Stamps store and checkout the new goodies! 

Here is some inspiration for you using new and previously released products.

I used the NEW Jeepers Creepers stamp together with the Atlas Mason Jar die and the background is a sheet from the NEW Nevermore 6x6 papers. I added spiders, webs and a ghost to add even more creepiness to my card (links below). Sentiment is included with the  NEW Jeepers Creepers stamp.

Here is a view from a different angle.

Whimsy Stamps and Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Collaboration

It's the 12th Stamptember Fest at Simon Says Stamp and Whimsy is taking part this year as well. Please help us celebrate all the stamping goodness.

There is an EXCLUSIVE Whimsy clear stamp set available starting today. It is only for a limited time and only while supplies last! Make sure you grab yours today! Picture below is link to stamp set at Simon website.

Here is a card I made using the new exclusive set together with some other Whimsy products.

I used the Wire Background stamp to create the background. I then cut a hexagon shape from one of the SL Enchanted Kingdom Papers as a backdrop for all my images and die cuts I planned to use. To create my scene I combined the Just Chicken In clear stamp set with several other Whimsy products which you will find linked below.    

Hugs and Stay Safe!
