Cream Cake - LOTV

 

I needed a birthday card for a special someone and I love this cute Bunny pulling a whole wagonload of cake!  

The image is Lili of the Valley's Cream Cake digi stamp and the sentiment is from the Happy Circular Sentiment digi set.  I have a couple of these sets as stamps but really like the digital ones because I can resize however I need to.

Check out the LOTV website which hosts freebies and tutorials, and the stamps and digital images can be purchased at the LOTV Etsy Store. There is also a LOTV Facebook fan page where you can view so many beautiful projects and while you are at it, go look at the LOTV Instagram page... so much to see and tons of inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Copics:
Bunny - T7/5/3/1/0, R20 and pressing rubbing alcohol on a cloth down to get some texture
Cake - R39/37/32, E44/43/41/40, E49/57/55

Star of 2025 - All Dressed Up Stamps Challenge

 

Time for a new challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps and I've used Star of 2025 to make a birthday card for the grand having the first birthday in the new year.

I will be keeping this post very short.  It seems Christmas has snuck up on me and I am not nearly ready.  I thought I was but then both hubs and I got sick with that nasty cold that's going around.  I've had it for 3 weeks so I will be happy to see the back end of it!

Be sure to head on over to the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog where you can see all kinds of inspiration from the rest of the girls on the team. Join us for some fun and wonderful creations at the Facebook Fan Page, Facebook Challenge (there is a theme for this one) and there's also a Pinterest page to view some more gorgeousness.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good week!

Santa Snowman - Whippersnapper Stamps

Here is another old Whippersnapper Stamp I have gathered from my stash and this one is Santa Snowman.

I'm a little behind on my holiday cards so there's not a lot of variety and I do have a few days because Canada is in the midst of a postal strike.  It's been a couple weeks and there's no sign of a settlement yet.

I used Unchartered Mariner and Chipped Sapphire distress ink for the background, sprinkled and embossed with some Shabby Blue Frantage. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink's Larger Than Life Snow die.

Twigs - Whippersnapper Stamps


I've dug out a couple of stamps I've had for ages and ages and one of them is Twigs from Whippersnapper Stamps.  I have not purchased a stamp on a wood block for many years so that should tell you the stamp is old.  Fabulous red rubber which stamps perfectly the first time!

I used Unchartered Mariner and Chipped Sapphire distress ink for the background, sprinkled and embossed with some Shabby Blue Frantage.  The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Clean Line Christmas.

Thinking of You - Gina Lynn Studio



Hi there.  Today's card is a Voodoo Doll image by Gina Lynn Studio from Etsy.  I had actually planned on this being a card for around Halloween but I didn't have it finished in time, so here it is... just a 'thinking of you' card.

I did remove the original sentiment and added my own with a different font which actually turned out better with it not being a Halloween card.  She's got some cute images so when I get caught up, I plan to go back for a visit and purchase.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Happy Christmas - LOTV


Hi there!  Here's another card I made with LOTV's new polymer stamp release called Happy Christmas which is very versatile because it contains so many images such as candy canes, reindeer, trees, Santa, an elf, gifts, etc. 

I used Festive Berries distress ink and embossed with Shabby White Frantage.  The die is My Favorite Things Stacked Merry die which I use frequently.

Check out the LOTV website which hosts freebies and tutorials, and the stamps and digital images can be purchased at the LOTV Etsy Store.  There is also a LOTV Facebook fan page where you can view so many beautiful projects and while you are at it, go look at the LOTV Instagram page... so much to see and tons of inspiration!
