Rosettes and Cupcakes

By
I made this card a little while ago but thought I would dig it out today to show you. It's not really 'me' but anyhow - here it is


Those rosettes were mighty fiddly things to do I can tell you! I think the card stock may have been a bit thick as they would not lie flat to be glued!
Here is a close up


The cupcake case was also pleated and my sentiment is from Flight of the Butterfly.
Colours used were Baja Breeze, So Saffron, and Regal Rose. The patterned paper is some retired SU Springtime Vintage DSP.

I'm feeling a bit peeved at the moment - my daughter has just come home from uni, she's only been home 10 minutes and she's dumped her washing, let the cat in my craft room and now gone out to the pub! I wouldn't feel so bad but my husband escaped with her leaving me to clear up the devastation caused by a rampaging cat! I think I may sulk and not cook any tea!

    I think you SHOULD sulk and not make any tea! That'll teach 'em! ;) I think this is so fun, Jacqueline! I just love that cupcake case--it's fabulous! :)

    Some form of strike action is definitely required, I think!! I shudder to think at the havoc a rampaging cat could cause in your craft room! This is a lovely bright and cheerful card. I don't do a lot of paper folding & pleating so this is really different for me. I do like the cupcake base in the patterned paper.

    Hmmm. I think this could be the moment to make an 'Danger! Artist at work. Could be violent if disturbed' sign for your craft room door and lock yourself in. (Don't forget to take pizza/chocolate with you!) The rosettes on your card are great but the cake case is just gorgeous! Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
