Well, these are tasty cards!! 🙂 So fun!! I created these while participating in an online class from Melanie. We used the Sweets & Treats stamp set and I learned several fun tips to share with you!!
The First little bit of magic is to use the StazOn ink pad and stamp the cake stand on Gold Foil paper. We cut it out using paper snips and as you can see in the 2 cards above, I made 2 altered cake stands out of these stamped images!
The Second bit of magic we created with this Sweets & Treats set was to add Shimmery Crystal Effects to various parts of the stamped images. I added it to the “fruit” pieces in my fruitcake… because I thought that’s how they should look! The fruitcake image was stamped with Memento Black ink so we could color it with our Stampin’ Blends. I stamped it twice and fussy cut the frosting part out to layer back on top of the fruitcake… I wanted to give more of a dimensional feel.
The final touch for the fruitcake image was to use red rhinestones on the berries.
Below, we created more magic with the caramel apples!! We used the fruitcake image, stamped with StazOn ink on a window sheet as a glass dome, but I used a cotton swap with rubbing alcohol to “remove” or erase the fruitcake part! By doing this, I created a dome for my caramel apples!!
See… it worked!!!
Isn’t that SO COOL!! IT WORKED!!
My dome, fussy cut from the window sheet stamped image, was placed over my caramel apples. They also have Shimmery Crystal effects on them (on the apples) so in person it’s quite the sparkly card!!

Good morning Patty,
These are really adorable.. I would have never thought about using window sheets and erasing the coloring off of it… Thats a cool tip… I need to remember that for other sets I have … Really cool…
Have a great day…. One more day to work… Exciting but sad.. I will miss my coworkers till they fully open up the nursing home
Absolutely adorable! I will be trying this weekend!!
How did you adhere the glass dome?
The Crystal Effects I mentioned on the apples seals the dome on there 🙂 So cool!
That is so awesome! Love the different techniques you did ❤️
