WWYS #76: Party with Cake

Hey everybody and welcome to this week's What Will You Stamp Challenge! This week we have been challenged to use a super fun set called Party With Cake! You may not know this about me but I absolutely love fonts that look they are from an old school typewriter-yep, really! So, it makes sense that I would love all of the fantastic sentiments in this set because the font is awesome! I decided to use the "Make a Wish" sentiment to make a fun background centerpiece for my card. After watercoloring the background I heat embossed my sentiment multiple times in white. Then I cut it out using a 2" Circle Punch. I used the Layering Circle Framelits to cut out a piece of one of the sheets of Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate sheets to tuck behind my sentiment circle. If you haven't gotten your hands on this acetate yet I've gotta tell you it's pretty amazing! Every sheet has beautiful designs and one side has gold designs and the other side has silver. I've placed mine with the silver side up on this card.


After layering the two circles I added a silver foil banner and some silver metallic thread to the mix. Then I stamped the "Celebrate" onto a piece of Bermuda Bay and stacked that right on top of it all using dimensionals. I wanted to add just a little more to the background so I splattered my Basic Black card base with Clear Wink of Stella and added just a few Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes to add some more sparkle and texture. I love how this came out and I sure hope it makes someone happy on their birthday!

Here's a look at the whole Party With Cake stamp set. I only used one and a third stamps on my card today but the rest of the stamps are all really great too!

Happy Halloween & Día de Los Muertos!

Happy Holiday weekend! In the US we celebrate Halloween today (October 31) and tomorrow is the beginning of Día de Los Muertos. I made this card a few weeks ago and I've been saving it for today! This is a Congratulations/Wedding card that one of my friends asked me to make for her. I had so much fun piecing it together and I sure hope you like it!

I used the skulls from the Boo to You stamp set and the matching framelits to cut out the cute little skulls. I had fun layering bright colors with glimmer paper and gold foil to get a funky, fun and classy card (c'mon, it's totally classy, right?). 

I used some of the new gold cording to add some extra detail and a bow for the bride. The hat on the groom is cut using the witches hat from the Boo to You Framelits Dies. I cut it out and lopped the top off to create this fun fedora-ish looking hat. I had so much fun making the eyes for both the bride and groom. I used lots of itty-bitty punches and topped the pieces off with rhinestones. What a fun look!

I thought that the font from the Timeless Love stamp set went perfectly with this card. I embossed it in gold and called it a day!

If you are celebrating Halloween this weekend I wish you so much fun! Stay safe and don't make yourselves sick on candy!

To all of those celebrating Dia de Los Muertos this weekend, I wish you a weekend of wonderful, loving memories as you pray for, respect and remember your loved ones.

Enjoy your weekend everybody!
