Happy Birthday Sweet Thing...Squiggle Stamps !

Hiya...I seem to be getting in the swing of things with these lovely Squiggle Stamps...I have used Cupcake Girl for this card..she is so adorable

I have gone a bit mad with the glitter on this one, I have glittered the swiss dotted card ( made using the cuttlebug folder) Crystals and heart shaped stones on Miss Cupcake and of course she is mounted on glitter card cut using the blossoms 2 nesties from Craft Obsessions.

I wanted to show you this angle to show all the different layers.

I have used stampendous crystals stars glitter for the icing, it really does sparkle so well and gives such a nice texture.

I have stamped her twice and on the top later I just cut out her arm and the cupcake so it gives the appearance that she really is holding it. I an really please with how it came out. I have also put glossy accents on the purple "cherry" so it looks all sticky and scrumptious.

Thanks for looking

Happy Birthday Squiggle Monster !

Hi There, I was sooo chuffed to be asked by Tracy to be Guest Design Team Member for Squiggle Stamps for February...I intend to take my place in the team very seriously and as such have made a very serious card......NOT !!!

Here is Monster Boy and I think he is just FAB !

I have used Crate Paper from the seasons collection which I got from the lovely David and Brenda at Craft Obsessions, Thanks guys. The Rainbow is cut from one of the sheets and is mounted onto foam pads.  I love the balloons, the stamps only comes with one balloon but I thought it would be fun if he was holding a bunch. I have used glossy accents to make them shiny and tied them to his wrist with some twine.

After colouring his eyes and spines with a Gold Gelly Roll Pen, I then went blobbing with the Glossy Accents. As usual I have used Copic Ciao's to colour and Inkssentials opaque white pen to highlight.

The balloon wrinkled when they dried which gave them more of a "balloon" look. I am really loving usung these stamps, it is so easy to get stuck into a rut with the stamps, papers and accesories you use and it has been a really nice change.

Wow Exciting News...I am a Guest Designer for Squiggle Stamps...Yay

Well hello there...I am so excited, I have been asked by the lovely Tracy to be the guest designer for Squiggle Stamps for the month of February. I have been making cards for about 7 years and finally feel like I am in my element with all the beautiful stamps and gorgeous stash we can buy now.

I would like to show you my first card, I am using Oscar with Frame and I have to say I loved making this card, I am a sucker for bright colours and I think he just screams to be LOUD !!

I have cut the centre of the frame away and backed it with a piece of holographic mirri card. I lost the effect but it really pops in real life.I have raised him on sponge squares so the card is really three dimensional.

I have used the following for my card...
