Does it have to be your Birthday to eat cake?

Posted by Cathy on May 5, 2010 in Kraftin Kimmie | 2 comments

I really like a bunch of the images in the new Kraftin Kimmie stamp line. I like the little bit funky, edgy look (and what I wouldn’t give for a waistline like theirs!) This is Lisette – and she comes with her own strawberry shortcake! I used Card Positioning Systems sketch for this card (but I flipped it over). The paper is the 365 degrees Paper Pad from Pink Paislee. Very pretty, fresh, summery colors. I colored Lisette with copics, but after I was done I thought I...

I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it! I just love how cheerful and springy it is. This is a cling stamp called Thistle Carden. I colored it with copic markers. I also added some copic glitter pen but its hard to see in the picture. The lacy border at the bottom was made with the Lace Heart edger punch – but covered the top part of the hearts. (The paper is from my stash – I think its from WR Memory Keepers??) I hope everyone is having a great week. It...

I’m so enjoying the new Eat Cake Graphics stamps. I decided to use them to decorate a bakery bag full of yummy dried cherry- white chocolate chip – oatmeal cookies (recipe below). I LOVE oatmeal cookies! I decorated the bakery bag with cardstock and patterned paper strips from the Frosted Winter paper kit. I punched the edges of the cardstock with the Scalloped Snowflake Border punch. Before I glued on the upper strip, I added a little tag with a brad. I also added a...
