Makes n Takes

Team makes

Jan is into the faux tile technique,

and here's what she shared.

She'd kindly prepped a lot of it,

so it was easy to put together.

Shame you can't see the trademark glitter,

Jan HAS to have glitter!

Don't you just love that swirl

Liz's was good enough to eat.

It was good to get reacquainted with the cupcake builder punch

and matching stamp set, and that cute DSP.

I just love how everything coordinates so easily with Stampin' Up!

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday

Happy Birthday Cupcake

I have a lot of blogging to catch up with,

so here's the first of what I hope will be many ideas to share with you.

Pink and chocolate, fave girly colours.

I white embossed the 'doily', then sponged some ink over the top.

Added some pearls to the cake, and some bakers twine around the 'case'.

A punched scallop helps it stand out from the background.

Here's a close-up

Hope to see you again soon!

Sometimes Life is....

......just a bowl of cherries.....

made this for a male friend who loves music, and has various other hobbies....

none of which I had stamps for!

Luckily the Modern Medley paper from Stampin' Up! came to the rescue.

The stamp on the left is from my new set Giggle Greetings,

the sentiment on the right from a retired set,

and the cherry from Create a Cupcake,

and nearly forgot.....Postcard is a great stamp too!

Liz's card

Here's the card we made on team day, designed by Liz

We used the amazing Doily die, and the Cupcake stamp set.

I made mine flat so that it's easily postable.

Yummmy....makes me feel hungry!

We always have some lovely goodies to eat,

to help us craft,

and have lots of fun and giggles,

so if you'd like to be part of the team, sign up, and join us, it's easy!

Cake anyone?

This was a commissioned card for a lady's 70th, who likes baking!
I thought these papers were very retro, and the doily, buttons, large rhinestones and ribbon
all add some pretty details.....definitely not clean and simple!

If you'd like me to make a personalised card for someone special....just ask!

welsh cakes!

Create a Cupcake from Stampin' Up!

was just what I needed for Carol's card....

Also used my fave die cuts at the mo...Apothecary Accents Framelits

The new matching Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack adds some detail.

The shapes on the right have been 'adapted'....

the gold background (yes I know it doesn't look gold, but it is! a lovely matt gold),

has had the centre chopped out vertically,

the pink background has been cut horizontally.

The sentiment is another new set...A word for you....

with a cherry on top!

The Open Sea

This is one I did using my new framelits dies to make the "sea"

and my latest fave Stampin' Up! stamp set "The Open Sea"

so many ways to use this one......just not enough hours to play as usual!

The cloud is from Create a Cupcake, the birds are from Up, Up & Away
(methinks you'll see the birds a lot!)
Twine around the anchor, couple of brads, and some pool party ruffled ribbon...
