HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Confection Collection release by Colorado Craft Company featuring birthday and related baking images by Kris Lauren. I did some tricky (but fun) merging of two stamp sets – Piece of Cake and Eat More Cake. When I saw these squirrels, I knew that I had to create a cake assembly line! Included below are the details for the blog hop and giveaways so be sure you stick around to the end of the post!
I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
Note that a limited number of release bundles are available — see supply list below.
In other news — don’t forget that I’m having a crafty destash sale. Check out the details! Two boxes are still available.
I don’t merge and mask images very often because it requires more patience than I generally possess, but I could see this card in my mind and masking was the only way to make it work. First, I stamped the center squirrel using Hero Arts Intense Black ink. I masked the center squirrel and stamped the cake and the squirrel on the left. Next, I masked off the area for the grass and blended it with Simon Says Stamp Positively Saturated Ink in Sprout. I used the MFT Stamps cloud stencil with Positively Saturated Ink in Tidepool to create the clouds. Then, I stamped the sentiment using Versafine and colored all the images with Copics (see list below). The squirrel in the foreground was much easier since I could use the Piece of Cake coordinating dies. Finally, I assembled all the layers as shown.
