create a cupcake!

good morning crafters

i had a little bit of a 'cupcake' weekend last weekend as the cards just kept coming and coming! i love the create a cupcake set and matching punch as the possibilites are endless but to play it safe i went with just cupcakes for now

I have lots of birthdays in april so tried to get a head start on them...ive normally got them all done and dusted by now but this year i seem to be way behind with everything...not enough hours in my days i think :0)


simple layouts with the cupcake as centrepiece of cards and i used the new in colours range of calypso coral, lucky limeade and pool party blinged up with some rhinestones and glimmer brads...my new best friends!!


This is a tiny card made with some scraps of crumb cake, bashful blue and melon mambo...ive made a resolution, a late one but a resolution all the same to empty my scrap box out at the end of every month and see what i come up with, hopefully will stick to it as certainly didnt stick to my diet!! OOps!!

well thats it for now as im planning more craftiness today...fingers crossed!

take care and keep crafting

simple wedding

Afternoon crafters!

happy weekend to you all

today ive been whipping up a few wedding samples for a friend and thought i'd show you a couple.

The first one uses the Marry Me stamp set from the spring mini and ive stamped it in crumbe cake on very vanilla as her colour scheme is beige and gold and they are the nearest SU colours :0)



I stamped the image smack bang in the middle added ribbon and pearls and the couples names across the centre.

i love that image so much too :0)

second one is even simpler with just the very vanilla, crumb cake and a touch of gold mirri card in a heart with some pearls to finish off.

i made alot more but im off now to make my mothers day cards.

take care and come back soon

Quickie birthday

Good morning all

Quickie post for me today...and a quick and easy card to whip up! My little boy insisted i get the sheet of stickers at the craft shop as he wanted the one and only boyish thing on there...a truck and as you can imagine i gave in, any excuse to buy crafty goodies eh!!

The car on this card is a sticker as is the happy and the decorations on the car bonnet.



I embossed and mounted some pear pizazz DSP with the vintage wallpaper folder and then for the first time ever distressed it with my new sanding blocks...you can just about see the effect on this picture but i was well impressed, loved the way it came out.


I added a simple birthday sentiment from a retired stamp set and ready to go.
I did use some sahara sand card as my base card and it really sets off the freshness of the colours but im sorry my photos dont do it justice...o to be good with a camera :0)
Thats it from me for now, hope you all have a lovely day

take care

texas party!

Hiya

i spent the weekend making lots of these quick and simple birthday party invites for a friends 30th...texas themed too!!

Simple cowboy boot downloaded from internet and printed off many times, I added a 30th to the star and some bling to liven it up.



I added the 'you're invited' stamp from the retired cheer & wishes set and mounted with real red and crumb cake.


Non SU ribbon to finish off the sentiment and voila! all ready to go and below just a few of them together :0)
cant wait for the texas themed party which is only 4 weeks away.

Thats it for me today...quick post still got washing up and drying to do as well as shower etc...busy,busy,busy!!
