My brother's birthday card

Here is my brother's birthday card, I went for a war themed one as his favourite game at the moment is Battlefield. 

The image I found online, brads and stamps are both american crafts, paper is a Making Memories Slice and the helicopter I cut out using my Slice (Big Kids design card)

Happy Crafting 

More thank you cards

2 more fizzy moon decoupage cards:

Papers are fizzy moon, flowers are Dovecraft I think, pink shape was cut using my Slice. I used my Martha Stewart punch to cut the purple strip.

These next 2 are using Papermania stamps, shape cut out using my Slice, paper is K & Co, button is from my stash.

 Martha stewart punch, K & Co papers, same stamps and again Slice to cut out the other shapes.

Happy crafting

Chocolate cupcakes, my best yet!

I made these as my brother had requested I bring cakes. In his words I make pretty good cakes. I decided to try a new chocolate cake recipe as I still hadn't found one chocolatey enough for my liking. I searched online and found this one: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/499762/libbie-s-chocolate-cupcakes#ingredients Here are the results:








Chocolate icing with mini fuge pieces, then I tried a couple with red edible glitter


They went down a treat and taste amazing! Will definitely use this recipe again!!

Happy New Year - 2012

Happy New Year!

A card for Christopher's nursery keyworker

Letters cut out using my Slice, the papers and the stickers are all from Tesco.
She seemed really chuffed with it so I am pleased :o)

A brown paper bag - turned into a gift bag

I'm rather pleased with these, these are 2 gift bags that I have made for my mum for Christmas. 

They started life like these:

Turned into these:

I cut the shape out using my Slice, backed it with acetate that I got from as an off-cut from the laminate machine (I love freebie recycling), I used my 1 inch circle punch to cut the top holes, the stickers were a couple of random sets I bought last Christmas but didn't use. The ribbon came as another freebie. My friend bought some new PJ's and this ribbon was wrapping them. Lol. 

I'm really pleased with how these have turned out and its a little more interesting that just wrapping the flavoured sugar tubs that are in the bags x
