ESAD SNEAK PEAK 2015 BLOG HOP

                

              

The Sneak Peak item I used is the 'Sprinkles of Life' stamp set.

For about the past 10 years the cup cake industry has been going through the roof and you see them instead of Birthday cakes, Christening cakes, Engagement and Wedding cakes etc..... In fact my Wedding cake comprised of many cup cakes back in 2008. We had a huge box of extra cup cakes so that every guest got one.

                            I decided to go with the tiered cupcakes in my pop up                                              Happy Birthday Explosion card.

Stamp sets- Sprinkles of Life, Something for Baby (little heart on background) and Crazy About You.
CS - Basic Grey, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Sarah Sand, Calypso Coral, Dafodil Delight and Lullaby DSP.
Ink- VersaMark and white embossing powder for cup cake tops, Soft Suede, StaZon jet black ( for candles) and Calypso Coral.
Accessories- Hello You Thinlits dies, Dimensionals, Tombo liquid glue and glue dots.

If you would like to know how this explosion card was created, the directions by Karen Burniston are in this LINK.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5P0ebNYWrw

ESAD Demo Designs Colour challenge

 

This is my entry for this weeks challenge. I didn't have all of the colours and so I did a little substituting.

Pool Party for Coastal Cabana and Mellon Mambo for Strawberry Slush.

I fussy cut the flowers and then used Mellon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant and Pool Party to paint over the flowers to change their colour. I added a few pearls and spritzed the flowers. I hope you like it. If you do leave me a comment.

After a 4 day card making episode during Unconvention these are the cards I came up with for the various challenges. I had a fantastic 4 days even though I missed out on Convention in Queensland.

Never Ending Card. LINK:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PP5JY8ubo
If you follow this link it explains how to make this card in any size you choose. This is a fun card to make and not really difficult. It just takes a bit longer to decorate it.

Getting close to Mothers day so i have started making a few to give to my family.
