A tasty treat bucket…

Posted by Cathy on Dec 2, 2010 in challenges, Eat Cake Graphics, Gift Items | 6 comments

Another tag, and more Eat Cake Graphics stamps! I made this from a little bucket I got at the Target dollar spot (I think 2 for a dollar?). I filled it with candy cane Hershey kisses (they are yummy!) in a treat bag. I decorated the bucket top and bottom with a thin strip of Hippy Girl paper from the Kaisercraft pad (I really like the colors in the paper – some of it is glittery too!). The bucket is tapered, so I had to keep the strips thin to get them to adhere well. Then...

Oh My! Even More New Eat Cake Graphics!

I’m so excited over the Eat Cake Graphics images that just came out. I’ve always LOVED the little winter kids – and now there are even more new playmates! They are all adorable. But the first new stamp I wanted to play with is this Santa image. All the stamps used for this card are in the new Santa’s Doggie Welcome Cling Set. (Well… I also used the Decorative Tile background stamp with Versamark ink). The image is colored with Copics. The paper is from the...

A Vellum Treat Bag for Mrs. Claus

I love this cute Mr. And Mrs Claus stamp – and I thought Mr. Claus might like to give Mrs. Claus a little bag of kisses. These mint kisses are really good (had to try one – how can I write an informative post without taste testing?). And I love the little snowflake-y wrappers. This post contains a tutorial and a template to make the treat bag, and the details for the card. The Vellum Treat Bag: The treat bag was made with cover weight vellum. This is much heavier and...

Decorating a Gnome Home for Christmas

Posted by Cathy on Dec 11, 2008 in Copic Marker tips, Odd Bird Planet | 7 comments

I decided the Gnome Home from Odd Bird Planet needed a little sprucing up for the Holidays. I was in a bit of a goofy mood and my decorating went a little over the top, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Here is my finished product. I used a bunch of different Odd Bird Planet stamps in my little creation. In case inquiring minds want to know – here’s what I did. First I stamped the Gnome Home in Tuxedo Memento ink. Then I masked it with eclipse...

A Little Holiday Thank You

Posted by Cathy on Dec 10, 2008 in Misc. Stamp Companies | 11 comments

Just thought I’d share a very simple Holiday Thank you Card. The Stamp is from the Penny Black Christmas Critters clear set- so many cute images!. The saying is from the Impression Obsession Sentiment I clear set. I find this set so handy because I can create whatever sentiments I want. The images are stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and I colored the kitty with Copic Markers. I used E-50, E053 and E-55 for the cat’s fur. I added a little R-02 for the nose and cheeks. The...
