Cupcake card – my new stamps!

Guess what the postie dropped through my door this morning? It was the gorge-alicious blog candy I won from my Cupcake teamie Sandy. They came from the States in mega quick time so wasn’t expecting them to arrive so soon!!

Well of course I didn’t waste any time in getting them inked up and as my daughter Olivia had her best friends party this afternoon I thought it was a great excuse to whip up a little card for the occasion! These stamps are so cool because you can mix and match the tops to the cases and add a cherry or sprinkles or candles etc. There’s are also some little teeny greetings too – they’re fab. Ok, of to watch the Apprentice. We Sky +ed it on Wednesday and I have so far managed to avoid finding out who was fired.

Have a great Sunday!

A quickie!

No, not the rude kind! This is just a very quick little card I put together last night using this pretty stamp I got from a lady over on UK Scrappers. It’s coloured with PM’s and diamond glazed. This is my “less is more” approach – it’s a wee bit bare I think – not too sure about it but never mind!!

Cupcake Crafts challenge sketch.


Evening one and all, hope you’ve enjoyed your day in your part of the world. We have had a gloriously sunny day here – I feel as if summer is just around the corner.

This is my card for today – it’s my take on Lauren’s amazing sketch for this week’s Cupcake Crafts Challenge. This is the last challenge I will be able to enter as our DT term starts next week. It’s so exciting, can’t wait to show you what I and the other DT girls have made for our first one. You’ll have to wait though – don’t want to give the theme away!!! As you can see I haven’t stuck to the sketch completley – instead of three embellishments in a row in the corner, I have put three flowers there layered up. I think I’ll get away with it though! I have used one of the Gorjuss stamps and put diamond glaze on her hair and boots. I love the combination of black and pink – it’s funky!!
