Cupcake Heaven...

I am feeling really fat tonight after scoffing loads of cakes and butter cream icing that we made today, well I needed to check it tasted OK! Luke wanted to make some cup cakes for his teachers when he goes back to school tomorrow. He was supposed to take them in on the last day of term but both teachers left a day early for the Summer hols so he missed them. Anyway we made some vanilla & chocolate cupcakes and decorated with sprinkles & pearl dust. My mum had bought me some edible rice paper and we punched out some shapes. As you can see Luke made a little forest scene. They looked really good in the Heaven boxes and we finished them off with a little Nestie Tag.

Create & Take Time!

I can't believe it is Friday already, wow that week has gone so fast! This weeks Create & Take has been made using Kaisercraft Friendship Stamp set and the new Secret Bird Society Papers. These stamps are £4.99 a set and there 14 stamps on the sheet which works out at only 35p per Stamp - What a Bargain!!!

Create & Take

This weeks Create & Take idea comes from the Hero Art Catalogue using the Cling Antiques Writing Stamp. I have used watercolour pencils on one of the cards & Copic pens on the other one. Hero Arts have used distress inks which look really nice, but I don't have any of these in my craft stash yet! I have stamped it up with Coffee Archival Ink pad on walnut cream Bazzill smoothie.

Tim Holtz Alterations

We are now stocking Sizzix at Crafts U Love and have started off with some Tim Holtz dies. I would like to share one of our customers cards (BJ Gregory) and my anniversary card to my husband Geoff, we have both used the Tim Holtz Heart Wing die set (BJ gave me the idea with her Rock card)

Create & Take

Today's Create & Take was using the new Scor-Buddy Tool & peel offs. This great little tool is ideal for card makers as it is not too bulky. It comes with scor tool & it's own little bag. A simple but effective card.
