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

Queen of Cupcakes

A very dear friend had a special birthday yesterday,

and she makes wonderful cupcakes.

I had some of this lovely paper left, (cupcakes and cherries),

decided to go with a flip card

(one of my fave dies at the mo!)

and then found a sentiment that fitted perfectly!

Here's the 'flip' side.

I think I added some paper to the back of the oval.......but after I took a pic!

I used my FREE GIFT, the Banner Punch,

to hang some bunting (which my friend makes too...proper material ones though!),

then added some more punched 'cherries'.

More rain forecast tonight.....well it is Tuesday,

and Alan's due to walk to his darts match,

 so he will probably get wet....as usual ....on Tuesdays!

Bring on the Cake!

Here's one I made for a very special lady....

It's very 'busy' I know!

I do get carried away, and want to keep adding 'stuff'- sorry, I can't help myself!

I love these papers, and the matching brad.

I used cupcake builder and curly label punch,  and designer frames embossing folder.

I used gold glimmer paper for the 'candle', and the 3 extra 'brads'.

I also added crystal effects to the cake 'sweets'.

lets eat cake!

This card was inspired by one we made with Sarah Piggott

I enjoyed playing with my Cupcake Punch again!

Also, I used my white gel pen for the first time...

I've been longing to try it out, and it flows really well,

 with a nice fine nib.

(I filled the 'cake' with it lol )

For Sue...

Here's another card I made, based on the one my "sweet pea designs by Sarah"  sent me..

 yet more cupcakes!

Happy Birfday yesterday Lorna!

Here's one for you, completely "cased" from my Sarah!

Hope you had lots of cake Lorna!

See some more of Sarah's beautiful work....

Cupcakes

My first "shop" of Cupcakes!

Using the Cupcake stamp set and Punch,

apologies to whoever's idea I used....

I end up looking at so many on the internet,I forget!

Note to self: make notes!

I did this one for the lovely Louise,

my Bobbin Lace Teacher ( see http://www.the-craft-corner.co.uk/).

Note how I cut a slit for the "cherry" (another idea I copied),

and then did the same for the choccie flakes.
