Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

BSS IDEA - Four Layer Cake

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Another Monday morning.  

This week we are talking CAKE!  a FOUR LAYER cake.

This wonderful die makes a card shaped like a cakluded

in the set (9 all together)..  Fun design.  Here is what e you

decide how to decorate it with the additional dies incI did.

Die - Sizzix - Cake Fold Its (662738)

Stamp - inside sentiment -Penny Black-Sentiment Collection (30-3550)

White card stock - base

Aqua card stock - frosting

Used a swirl embossing folder from Cuttlebug

White Glitter paper - Frosting between layers 

Candles (dies included) My Favorite Things-

Hearts and Strips 6x6 Paper Pack

Yellow card stock for flame

Orange Copic to color flame on one side

I cute four of the longer candles and three of

the shorter ones, and trimmed a little off

the bottom of each.

I then adhered the longest ones across the

top leaving a space in between each one

then added the shorter ones in between so it

gives the illusion of depth on the top of the

cake.

Plate - Silver Mirror card stock

Blue stones on cake - Pretty Pink Posh

Fun card to send someone their birthday cake that you

aren't able to be with on their birthday!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week.
