Cake & confetti (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

We've come to the end of Neat and Tangled's January release week, which means all of the new products shown this week are available for sale in the store right now!

I have a bonus card to share with you, using the Piece Of Cake stamp set:

This card features a big, mended mistake. I colored the entire image, and then stamped one of the greetings with a very shaky hand - ugh! But, what I love about art is, you can messed it all up and find a way to fix it, and no one would ever be the wiser.

I used scissors to cut out the 3 cake layers, and then I re-stamped the greeting on a second image, that I stamped directly onto the base layer.



I don't even think it looks like a mistake at all now, and even adds more texture to the card with the extra layer.

To finish off, I added some stamped confetti all around the cake and did some shading at the bottom, to ground the image.

I hope you like it! Happy shopping - click!

Piece of cake! (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to day 2 of Neat and Tangled's January release week! Today, we're showing off a 4x6 stamp set that I illustrated, called Piece of Cake, as well as a companion set, Piece of Cake Sentiments.

The cake image is really large, and as easy way to just stamp and get to coloring without having to create the scene yourself. I also designed it with my kids in mind! I could stamp a bunch and have them ready for Maia to color for her own friends' parties.

I have 2 cards to share with you today, so buckle in!

Do you see how nice and big the image is? I love it. I stamped and die-cut the cake image and colored it all. I then cut a kraft layer that would fit about 2/3 of the card-front and stamped confetti to fill in the space around the cake. I also added some extra dots with a white gel pen. I also used the gel pen to color in the confetti on the kraft layer. The ones beneath their feet I left white.



The sentiments get stamped into the cake layers. This one is an option from the Piece of Cake Sentiments set. Sentiment options include:

let's celebrate - your existence - with cake

happy birthday - celebrate - with cake

this cake- is 100% - gluten-free

another birthday? - piece of - cake (from the original Piece of Cake set)

I love a card featuring a bunch of red-headed kids. Now, onto the next!

We all have that one person in our lives that eats gluten-free, right? My sister can't eat any of the cakes I make now (although she makes yummy desserts that are dairy and gluten-free herself!) so I included a fun sentiment just for her.

I love that the image can look so different, just based on how you color the cake and kids. I had fun with this one!



I found a piece of patterned paper that featured a tone-on-tone large pink heart and thought it would look super sweet as a base layer. I then added some dew-drop gems in lieu of the stamped confetti and called it a day.

I hope you like the sets shown today! There is more to see on the NT blog this morning - click!
