Piece of Cake

Hello, 

One of my favorite things I learned this year was foiling.   Toner foil is definitely the easiest ways to get the shiny look.  Taylored Expressions has made it ever easier by selling foil panels.   The toner foil sticks to the panels with ease.  For this set of cards, I used gold foil, but I think this card would look good in any color.  They also created coordinating stencils to add color to each layer of cake.  I used these colors to create my rainbow cake. Taylored Expressions Ink- Guava, Pumpkin, Pineapple, Key Lime, and Cookie Monster.

Bee-lieve

 Merry Christmas!

I love when I get special requests for cards.   I had a customer at a craft show request a Christmas card with a bee on it.   What a great idea.  I'm often not too far away from the honey people at the craft show.  I can't bee-lieve I didn't think of it sooner.  What animal do you wish was featured on a Christmas card?

TEE-Rific Christmas

 Merry Christmas!   It is still hard for me to believe that it is Christmas Eve already.  This month always goes by in a flash.    As some of you know I've been slowly collecting vintage (20+ year old) stamps.  I found Tigger last Christmas season, but I didn't have any idea how I was going to use it on a card.   

Then I received this orange tree card from my friend Tina.  What a brilliant idea!  I love the orange and the happiness that this card brings.   Each tree is foiled in gold (doesn't show up real well in photo) and then sponged in several shades of orange.  I never would have thought to use orange on a Christmas card!   I was inspired to make my own orange Christmas card. 

I used a fun fold that I used on a Santa card year ago.  You can see that card here .  Tigger fit perfectly on the diamond.   Thank you all for inspiring me through the year.
