Sweets & Treats

The Sweets & Treats stamp set is one that makes me smile. I love all of the holiday treats included in this fun set.

Even though my fruitcake is a bit undercooked looking, it screams Holiday to me!

Stamps

The fun stamp set I used is the Sweets & Treats stamp set. This is my idea of a Homy Christmas. All of the foods shown are Fall and Winter Holiday food. I stamped the cake plate, and fruitcake then colored using a variety of Stampin’ Blends. My plate is a Carnival Glass blue / green since my Mom had one that color. I fussy cut the image and added them to the die cut pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The little sentiment is from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set. It was the perfect size for the treat. And using the Simply Elegant Trim they added just enough of a Special feeling to the treats. My additional extra item is Red Rhinestones in place of the berries for the holly.

Dies

I used two different die sets to create the focal layer. The larger Shaded Spruce and White layers are from the Hippo & Friends Dies. These dies are some of my favorite. They layer beautifully and are different shapes from the norm.

The sentiment is cut using a die from the Ornate Frames Die set. All of the tag dies I tried were too small and this one was Just Right in fitting the little sentiment.

Paper

To compliment the focal point of the card, I pulled all of the colors from the fruitcake. I wanted bright colors for the fruit in the cake. So Shaded Spruce and Real Red were the winners. The DSP is from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. It was a narrower piece than I needed, but that is ok. I simple divided it and layered the smaller White piece over top of the two to create the width that I needed. A great way to use scraps of DSP.
