Crazy for Cupcakes stand up card


So, I got all my goodies delivered after my Stampin' Up workshop and just had to get on with it straight away.
I used chocolate chip and pale plum CS with the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. What do you think?
This is one of my favourite design of card. I have taught it several times at my various classes, using mainly decoupage, but think this cupcake stamp goes really well.

Stampin Up Workshop - Make and Take


Now I have started blogging I can't stop!!!


This was a make and take card I made at a Stampin Up workshop held at my house. As a hostess I was very lucky to get lots of free goodies and spend the evening with my crafting friends and Helen my demonstrator! I ended up buying this stamp set (one of many!) called Crazy for Cupcakes.


Ladybirds and Lions







Thought I would add to my blog pictures of the projects that inspired me for my lilac bag and card class.

Both projects are my take on designs I found on the internet. I taught the ladybird set at one of my classes and it went down a storm!! Hope you like them.

Lilac Bag and Card







These are the projects I taught at my class on Thursday 6th July. The ladies loved them!!


I used pearlescent lilac card for the bag and card and pearlescent white for the trim. The handle and trim on the bag were done using the Fiskars scallop border punch. The flowers were made from a strip of patterned paper punched along one edge with the Fiskars scallop punch and then folded using the 'valley' of the scallop as a guide. The greetings were stamped using Stampin Up's Oval All stamp set and their large oval punch and scallop oval punch.
We had great fun making these. Thank you to Denise and Lu for the biscuits and tea, and to Sheila for the chocolate eclairs!!
