More Celebrating with Cake

Here’s another card we made using the
Party with Cake stamp set.
Cake with CandlesThe card base is Bermuda Bay with a layer of
Watermelon Wonder.  That’s topped off with a
layer of designer paper from the Cherry on Top Paper Stack.
I cut a label from Whisper White cardstock using the
Lots of Labels Framelits.
I stamped the words with Memento ink and
colored in “with cake” using the Bermuda Bay marker.
I added some Crushed Curry sprinkles above the words.
I stamped the slice of cake with Bermuda Bay ink and
cut out with my paper snips and attached to the label
with dimensionals.  Oh, and don’t forget the candle
on top — that’s stamped with Melon Mambo ink
and punched out with the candle punch from
Party Punch Pack.

Celebrate with Cake

Last week was my Stamp of the Month Class.
Our featured stamp set was Party with Cake.
I was looking at card ideas to inspire me and
I came across this fabulous card that I had to
share with my ladies.  I liked the card so much
that I made only a couple of minor adjustments.
This card was designed by Brian King — thank you
for a fabulous card Brian.
I added some Tip Top Taupe cardstock to my card.
Celebrate with CakeThe card base is Tip Top Taupe with a layer of
Watermelon Wonder.  Then I added a layer of
Tip Top Taupe Envelope Paper.
Next is another layer of Watermelon Wonder
cardstock and then Cherry on Top designer paper.
I used the Oval Framelits to cut a Tip Top Taupe
oval and then a Whisper White one.
The words in the stamp set are
“It’s Time to Celebrate with Cake”.
I didn’t want the whole thing on this card, so what
did I do……I cut my stamp apart.
Actually I cut this stamp into three stamps —
It’s Time To
Celebrate
With Cake
It works great — I can say
It’s Time to Celebrate
or
Celebrate with Cake
or
It’s Time to Celebrate with Cake
just by lining the words back
together on my clear block — easy, peasy.
I colored “with” using the Blush Blossom marker
and “Cake” with the Watermelon Wonder marker.
Don’t forget to “pop” it up with dimensionals.

Almost Ready

Oh My Goodness — it's almost here.
My sister, Tina and I put on a Stampin' Sisters Retreat weekend.
It is a wonderful weekend with 60 stamping friends.
Tina and I have 8 projects planned to fill their weekend
with plenty of stamping.  A project would be a set of 5 or 6 cards,
usually some type of scrapbook project, 3-D gift projects.
We try to cover all types of paper crafting.
This is our 10th year — the big weekend starts Friday night.
I am busy cutting and prepping all the projects.
Here I have piles started to sort this project into 60 bags full
of supplies.
SortingYesterday my husband was awesome — he cooked the meals
for us (usually he only cooks the meat for dinner and I have to do the rest
but last night he even made big salads to go with the steaks)
and look — I even got him to help me sort the piles
(only for a few minutes but every minutes counts).
Let's just say he wasn't happy about the picture taking (heehee).
Tony helping
Ok, time to get back to work or I'll never have it finished in time.
Keep coming back — next week I can show you the projects and all
the fun we had.  Maybe you can join us next year.
