Hey Cupcake!

I've got to admit, cupcakes are up there on my list of favourite things. I love to create them, eat them, gaze upon them.. they are just darling! So it makes sense that my signature birthday cards contain my favourite thing... this one brings a smile to my face, as I hope it will to yours..


I have just discovered Upsy Daisy papers. You can find them >HERE<. I just LOVE them. I used their "mango sorbet" for the background since it was so bright and cheerful, and took colours from it to work with.. Again, trying my hand at stamping, still figuring out what works and what doesn't. Its all bout the journey and the discoveries along the way.






Here's a close up of the cupcake.. all my own designs. I just love to create 3-D images. If you zoom in you can see that the cupcake cup lines are raised..all of the lines fold around to the back and are hidden away out of sight. A lot more work than just glueing them down, but the overall effect is worth all the hard work..


Thanks for poppin' by!

Sweet Desserts..

Another line I came up with I called 'Sweet Desserts', using part of the cupcake stencil. I love simple, fun designs. These babies were a little more time consuming. I tried coming up with the perfect 3D effect and feel I've achieved it..What do you think?Yes, those are woven strips of paper...yes it took awhile to figure out. But I think it gives the feel of a waffle cone that you'd get at the icecream shop!
Here's a close up of the icecream top and the waffle cone... Makes you just want to take a bite.. The cherry stem is made of bead wire.. hand twisted and shaped... again, all the spangles placed by hand...but in the end its worth it..
Again, trying to capture the dimesions of it all...
