Today is the first day off of a ten day break from work. Not had this long off since last summer and really looking forward to giving the brain a rest. I’ve got a few days away planned but in between I hope to get some crafting in… in fact I’ve already allotted myself at least a 90 min play time this morning.
But todays blog is from the playtime I had last weekend …
I played with the Waffle flower stacking cake stencil and dies to make another 18th birthday card.
I didn’t give much thought to the final card when I started but instead just added ink and enjoyed putting together a cake.
So once I had a cake (which I layered up three times to create a sturdy cake because no one wants a floppy cake).
So once I had that made I looked through the stash of ready made backgrounds/pieces yet to be finished and found this mop up piece using another new stencil (a piece I’ve not yet finished) and figured the pastel would work well with the cake.
Grabbed balmy blue for layering and then a white piece for the background which I embossed with a dotty embossing folder.
I then grabbed some more white and added ink with blending tools and then used the number dies to cut out 3 18’s so I could stack them up and then embossed with clear embossing folder and this made it into a lovely embellishment to finish the card off.
Happy crafting!

Fab card! Great use of your mop-up piece!
It was too pretty not to use it!
