Clowning Around

Again this idea came from the darling cupcake holders. 
I've re-vamped my clown candy topper to match the cups.
Again he is attached to a cellophane bag filled with what ever you want.
Puts a smile on my face, I hope for you as well.

Minnie Mouse Munchies

I found these darling cupcake cups, and of course they reminded me of Minnie Mouse.
I've filled a cellophane bag with tissue to show design.  Imagine a cute cupcake or other party favour tucked in the bag for a little girls party.  Sweet...

A Mixed Collection...


I saw this style card on Stampin Up Frenchies website. 
It is a simple, quick card but I think the end product is quite effective. 

Cute three step card.  I haven't used this stamp set in a while. 
Always nice to revisit old friends. 
Speaking of friends, thank you Kirstin for the sweet brad, it looks quite at home there.


FIVE LITTLE PIGS
Still a work in progress, but I like the idea of these pink pig gift tags.
I'm noodling the idea of grey hippos, and white sheep next.


Whoa... a little bright.
I wanted to try the oval frame embosser, then try to make a window in the pillow box.  This stamp set has been a favourite for years, but only recently purchased from the retiring list.  Have it now thank goodness. 
The holly leaves now have some glitter added, makes them a little more festive.

It's been years of searching, but now I have found a way to make a front door card. 
I've added a wreath for Christmas, but can see many variations, new home, moved house, welcome to the neighbourhood, from our house to yours, on and on.
I Love It ! 

Coffee time - then back to the craft table - YAY!

How Sweet It Is!

 Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes



I just love this Candy Wrapper die cut. 
It took a while to perfect the folding needed to make this sweet treat idea.
Once worked out they are so-o simple to make.
I prefer using printed paper as opposed to card stock. 
Both work, it's just a personal preference.

Halloween


Yes you guessed it - toilet roll centres.  Recycling is a good thing.

Can't help myself...  I just love these Candy Wrapper boxes.
Using Stampin' Up  Designer Series Paper  - with it's double sided print, makes all the difference to the finished box; showing the contrast pattern at the twist end is really cute.

Why So Angry...



I'm not sure why these little critters are so popular, but they are.
Fun to make for the grandkids.

Christmas is Coming...

Flipped, and enlarged to accommodate Aussie A4 paper.

Triple Time Cards


I'd seen this style of card making for a little while now and wondered - how?
As I found out I seriously didn't have a large background stamp.  So I managed with what I have on hand.
Something to think of when making my next order. 
Backgrounds are important, something to build upon. hmm....
