Cupcake Crazy

Good afternoon,

Gee, it's wet and grotty here today, luckily for me I have been indoors today :0) holding my class again with the lovely Mandi as she couldn't make it Saturday.
Today I have a card with the yummy Crazy for Cupcakes set, I haven't used this one for a-ges!
This was the last card I made for Lucy, this one was for her daughter, Beth to give to her, papers are from the Sunny Day Scappin' Kit,

Arty angle shows the cakes which were water coloured with blender pens then topped with yummy shimmer paint, you will be seeing a LOT of this in the next few months ;-)

and finally the inside, sentiment from Sealed with a Kiss and envelope decorated with Cupcake small wheel.





O.K. must dash, it's school pick up time already! eek!
Bye for now, Hugs Sarah-Jane xxx

Lucy Birthday, part 2 and a special offer 'till Wed only

Good morning,

Yay, it's the weekend!! whoop whoop!

Yesterday I showed you the card I made for Lucy, now that was great fun to make but about a week ago her lovely hubby got in touch and asked me to make her a birthday card... but not just from him, but 1 each from their 2 kids too! Well, obviously I was very touched to be asked, but way! 4 cards for 1 lady... not easy! So, this is the one I made for Pete to give to her :-)

I went with a vintagey feel to this one using the Love You Much stamp set (p 26),

I masked the bids and stamped the heart in the background, then water coloured in some details with a blender pen in Sage Shadow to match the card,

These little hearts were stamped from Love You Much and punched with the Heart to Heart punch then joined with linen thread, sentiment is from Cheer and Wishes (p 62)

This little detail is on the inside and comes from Sealed with a Kiss (p 26) a cute little set which I use quite a bit for anniversary cards,

and finally the arty angle,

I will be back Monday with another card for Lucy ;-)

3 Hearts

Hello,

How's the snow with you then?? ours is almost gone, still icy on the back roads though as I found out when I went round the corner of our road on the way to work last night! just a wobble but it certainly made me jump...
Anyways, these are the last 2 cards I made the other day as the set of 4 with a matching milk carton too, I will show you that tomorrow ;0)

They both use the Love You Much stamp set with matching Heart to Heart punch used for the hearts on this first one, layered up with 1+1/4" and 1+3/8" circle punches, I also added some Twill Tape to the background, Sentiment at the bottom is from the Sealed with a Kiss set,

This second card for today uses last weeks CPS sketch :0) I am too late now to enter it though, doh!

The little love birds are paper pieced using Merry Moments Christmas paper, I think it looks O.K. though and not Christmassey, what do you think? Real Red base, Choc Chip and Kraft layers with some yummy stitched Grosgrain chocolate ribbon, punches used were 1+3/4 circle and scalloped circle, Mat Pack makes a welcome return ;0)

Arty angle for this one,

Well better get cracking, I am so hoping my delivery of SU! yumminess comes today, it has been held up for nearly a week now! and I am just desperate to get my hands on it! I know you understand....

Have a good one and keep warm,

Trendy Trees

Well Good Morning to you all,

It feels like an age since I last blogged, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas?? Ours down south was not white unfortunately :0( but it was lovely, lots of food and family, just like yours, I suspect!

Do you know what?? I have not done a single bit of crafting over the holidays!! I am definitely hoping to get some in today and I have got tonight off work too! yay!

This card today is the last one I made before Christmas, it was made to hold some theatre tickets for MIL and FIL's Christmas gift. I didn't want a Christmas design though as the show (Chicago) is not until February.

The card base is Real Rust, paper is the Merry Moments Christmas one, but I think it is quite neutral? not too christmassey, and the cute little x's and o's are from Sealed with a Kiss-a set I have had for a while but only just used, ooops! yummy old olive striped grosgrain ribbon to finish this quite simple card using the lovely Trendy Trees stamps,

That's it for me for today but I will be back tomorrow (hopefully) if I get a chance to sneak some crafting in ;0)

Have a lovely day,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xxx
