A sweet cupcake

Jess had a sixth birthday party for two of her friends at Five Dock yesterday. She said I could make the cards if she got to pick what I made them with, so we had a look through my stamps and dsp on Saturday.

Early on Saturday morning I got up and made two of these cards. They were both the same, I took the colours from the dsp and just alternated the cardstock, with one girl getting a pink base and the other getting an orange one. I stamped the image in stazon and then coloured it in with my markers and a blender pen. I used a versamark pen and heat and stick powder to put dazzling diamonds all over the frosting on the cake. I also added crystal effects to the flame on the candle.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card and punched it out with the large oval punch, then punched out a chocolate chip scallop oval and layered it underneath the sentiment. I just love the large oval and scallop oval punch together, and a surprising number of stamps fit into the large oval punch.

For the inside, I stamped some balloons on whisper white card with stazon and Jess coloured them in and wrote her message to the girls.

It was a pretty quick card to put together, and definately got a "wow - you made this" from the Mums of the two girls.

If you would like to make some amazing cards like this, email me and I can show you how.

Keep on creating.

Wow this is my first real post.

The school holidays have just started here in NSW so I have a very excited 5 year old running around the house. We are going away next week and Jess has been dying to go to the Hannah Montana movie, not to be left out Sam wants to go to Ice Age 3. I think it is going to be a very busy couple of weeks!

When I first saw this stamp set in the catalogue I knew I had to have it. Who doesn't like cupcakes, they are so versatile, and can be used for so many different occasions.

On this card I have used the beautiful sweet always papers. I stamped the image in stazon ink and then coloured it with my markers and blender pen. I have then added crystal effects to the cherries and dazzling diamonds to the frosting. After adding a little chocolate ribbon and some layers of cardstock, my card was finished and I was very happy with it.

I hope you have enjoyed my first post.

Keep on creating.
