Before Christmas I brought from another demo, Jenny Moor, the instuctions to make a chest set and matching cards in Mocha Morning papers.  I thought  they looked very elegant and did a set for my Aunt  for christmas.  Trust me this set makes a lovely gift for someone.

Well I enjoyed making the set so much that I thought I'd recreate it but this time I used fabric to cover the chest and the cupcake stamp set and punch to make the cards and this is the end result:-

 

Now I bet you're thinking that I got into a right pickle not only sticking the material to the box but cutting it to the right size as well.  Well fear not for Stampin'Up! have introduced Big Shot Mulitipurpose Adhesive Sheets that are brilliant and stops you getting in a mess with attaching fabric to card.  So what I did was I cut the top sections of the box in card, put this on the Adhesive Sheet to pick up the adhesive and then laid this, adhesive side down, onto the back of the fabric and cut around the card, Volia, a perfect fit :)

The chest consisited of 4 C6 cards and 6 3x3" cards,  I did the cards in two colour schemes as shown below



 

I was quite pleased with the end results and this is how it looks all together:

If you like what I've done with this set and can see the versatility of the Create a Cupcake stamp set and matching punch then you only have 16 days left to purchase it from the Spring Mini catalogue so hurry up and get in touch with me to place your order by any of the methods listed above.

Good morning,

Today I am going to show you the cards that my eldest daughter and grandson  gave hubby for his birthday.  Unfortunately she came to collect her cards before I had chance to make new ones so she chose one from a class that I had done and another from a training session I went to.

This is the one my daughter gave to her dad;-

I've used the largest stamp from lovely as a tree set then cut it into 3.  I have then mounted the picture onto cherry cobbler and crumb cake.  I have heat embossed the sentiment onto Night of Navy cardstock using versamark ink and gold embossimg powder.

The one that Leo gave to his granded was made at one of Jules training sessions and just perfect as his grandad has always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon:-

The base card is Soft Suede and I believe the blue card is Pool Party which was embossed using the perfect  polka dot embossing folder.  The basket of the ballon was made using the Cupcake punch and then embossed with the Square lattice embossing folder.  A piece of real red card was stamped using the dot dot dot stamp and soft suede ink and then cut out using the oval and round punch.  The clouds we made using the round scallop punch.  The sentiment is from Create a Cupcake stamp set onto Whisper White card and punched out with the word window and Modern Label punch.

My sister has wanted this stamp set for ages and has just purchased this set and also used it to create Deans birthday cards to he got 3 from the same set.  Here are the cards my sister created, I think they are just lovely.

 

Remember you can only get the items from the Spring Mini until the end of April as we never know what is going to be carried over to the new catalogue in October!!

Tomorrow will be the final card for hubby that I made for my youngest to give to her dad.  Until then take care and happy crafting

Create a Cupcake

Yet another beautiful day.  Did you all remember to put your clocks forward?   I did but I don't think my grandson did.  We had a family night last night so little man stayed here rather than be woken at a late hour to go home.  Nan only got 6 hrs sleep, thanks Leo...lol

I've finally managed to make the first of the 8 cards I need for this week. This ones got to go to Plymouth so it needed to be done first. Its one for our friends daughters birthday on Thursday so needs to be posted tomorrow. We haven't seen them for ages so I wasn't really sure what she is into so played safe with the cupcake set. Next decisions was what colours to go with!!!!! I finally decided on two of the In Colours for 2012/13 with Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade.  I punched out 1" circles to make a fake embossed look. This is the finished product....

Now whilst I liked what I had done I thought something was missing so I decided to add some Pearls to the little flowers but that didn't look right either.  I then swapped some Pearls with some Rhinestones and asked hubby what he thought and, like me, preferred the Rhinestones so all the Pearls were duely swapped and this is the end result...

I think I looks much nicer.  I also like to put inserts into my cards whenever I can so I decided to stamp a cupcake on that as well.

I hope you like my project, please leave a comment if you did as I love to read them.

If you would like to purchase any of the  products listed below please get in contact and remember, the cupcake stamp set and punch are only available from the Spring Mini catalogue that ends on the 30 April so don't wait too long if you want this set.

Thanks for stopping by

Yesterday was my sisters birthday and today its my gorgeous daughter, Kirsty, 20th.  So you can imagine its been a busy time making all the cards.  Luckily I managed to get them done in time and gave them to her yesterday ready to open today.  I'm not sure if I will see her today due to the snow, our road is a cul-d-sac and doesn't thaw out that quick so is quite a nightmare to drive on, but I have spoke to her and sung "happy birhtday" to her over the phone.   Not sure if the singing was a good idea or not....lol

Anyway, here are the cards I made for her:

This one was for my mum to give her.  I have used the Create a Cupcake stamp set and matching punch.  as you can see I have also been using my big shot and embossing folders again along with the For my Family set to create the sentiment.  The colour combo is Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Calypso Coral.

This is the card from me and her dad.  I have used several different products on this card, Under the big top stamp set, big shot and emobssing folders, pennant punch, Happiest Birthday wishes Hostess stamp set and Just Perfect Alphabet for her name.  I even coloured in the image again using the stamp pad and blender pens.  The colour combo is Calypso Coral, Elegant Eggplant and Lucky Limeade.

  You may have guessed by now that I am having a spree of using the 2012 In Colours, I just love them all they are so bright and cheerful.   My eldest daughter choose a card from my stock which was one that I made at a Jules recent training event but I forgot to take a picture.  I will however be doing a similar card in my class at the end of the month so keep looking :)

My SU order has just arrived so off I am to play.  Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment as I love to read them.
