I have been at the skulls again! I have been using the Inkadinkadoo Rock Star stamps, they are just so amazing! The base card is a white linen card and it is and A5 card! I have stamped the corners with some stamps I bought from QVC and I have inked around all the edges of the card! The linen texture of the card makes the inking look extra aged which I love. I have then stamped a skull onto hammer texture card, I then inked a music swirl in the top left corner and more skulls along the bottom. Again I have inked around the edges of the piece of card, the card had then been monuted onto a plain black piece of card and mounted again onto DCWV RockStar cardstock. The whole card is then topped off with some purple gems!!!

I have been attempting to put together a few mothers day cards, as it is fast approaching, so here are som early attempts!

We have just had in the new Kanban cupcake stamps in Hobbycraft and I just had to buy them!!! This is my first attempt with them! I have stamped them onto smooth white card which I have die cut with my scallop nesties and coloured them in with dovecraft brush pens, I have then embellished the top with pink pearl gems. The cake is them mounted onto a Bo Bunny Paper which is also die cut with the nesties!!! The card is a small square and it is pearl blue!!! Foe the background I have used some scraps that I have kept ( see Kon I knew I would need them ) they are DCWV paper and Imaginisce cardstock, and they have been punced with my martha stewart punch which I had for my birthday from Julie at Huxters House!!!

Not one of my creations today, but I still think it is super cute. We had the new Kanban wobblers in work last so I thought I would put one together so the customers could see what they look like when finished!!! I really love this range they are so easy to put together and fab for quick cards!!!

In keeping with my good blogger pledge I am pleased to bring you another card!!! I have been at it with the cupcakes again! I must say I have stolen a few ideas from the amazing card I had for my birthday from Julie over at huxtershouse!!! You can see that card here http://huxtershouse.blogspot.com/2009/11/cupcake-birthday-for-stacey.html

The card is A5 and it is a pearl brown cardstock The background is actually the reverse of a Bo Bunny christmas paper ( nothing goes to waste ) I have cut the cupcake using Doodlecharms and I think it is cut at about 6". I have aged the edges of the cupcake top and embossed it with the divine swirls embossing folder using my big shot!!! I have finished off the cupcake with some fab sticky gems and a bow using american crafts ribbon. The whole card is then finished with a self adhesive lace strip and more of those cute gems x x x

Well I have been away from my blog since November, I am beginning to think I may be the worst blogger in the world!!! I have just been so busy!!! But hopefully I am back for a bit now and I will try to keep my blog upto date and also keep ontop of the blogs that I am following cos I cannot remember the last time I sat down and had a good scan of the blogs!!!

Onto my card!!! My brother only went and turned 18 on me this month!!! I cannot believe it!!! He is so much taller than me, he has a good job a car and a girlfriend but I cannot help feeling that he is still my baby bro!!! Anyway, he loves basketball and it is as popular in the UK as it is in America but luckly I had the sports mania cart!!! Now please excuse my pics as the card is A3 folded so it is pretty big and I had no card big enough for the background! I have used design studio to weld Nick 18 the the swoosh cut, Ihave cut it at about 6" quite a few times and layered it all up! Thats it nothing fancy just plain cutting and layering!!! I could not turn it into a shape card as I do not have the larger mats just yet but I am very pleased with how it turned out!!! And I think he liked it!!!
