WEE THREE KINGS.

As always I am late starting my Christmas cards and since I have over 50 to do, I thought I'd better get a move on! I had a flash of inspiration over weekend and decided it would be a fab idea to do a card and cake 'combo' as a great Christmas gift.

High Hopes Wee Three Kings was an obvious choice as the stamp is the perfect size for both the card and cake, and looks wonderful inked up and coloured.

The cake is a 6" marzipan and iced fruit cake which i left to set up for a few days to ensure a smooth firm surface to apply the stamp to. The image was used as you would normally but painted with black food colouring instead of ink, and then coloured in with food colours , making everything edible. The great thing about it is that any mistakes can be easily wiped off ready to start again! I piped the sentiment to match the card (Wise Men Still Seek Him) and finished with a sprinkle of edible glitter and decorative ribbon.

The card is made from an A6 card blank, with decorative papers, ribbon and bow. The image was stamped in black, coloured with shimmer paints and watercolours and finished with Stickles. The sentiment 'Wise Men Still Seek Him' was stamped in back and cut out with decorative scissors. I added a Prima Definitions Pebble to finish with the word 'Adore' on it.

The Pebbles will be available soon at nutcrafters.com.

Happy Halloween!

Hi.
It's getting close to the Witching hour, so time to show off Halloween Edwin.
We think he is too sweet to be scary, but certainly looks the part of Dracula in his little cape!


The card and mini treat box are the perfect way to wish any one 'Happy Halloween', and the box can be filled with all sorts of scrummy sweets before it is sealed up.I am helping my sister with her Halloween party at weekend and everyone will be getting a Halloween Edwin treat box, that's if I don't eat all the sweets first! Any way, I think its time to get 'stamping'... Have a Happy Halloween!

Party Time!

I can't quite believe how fast this year has flown, but in six weeks I'm getting married!

This means it is PARTY time, and when it came to making the invites for my hen party there was only one choice: Party Tilda.

She is so adorable in her high heels and party dress. Me and my closest buddies are off to watch Sing Along Hairspray for the evening and I thought this Tilda was definitely in keeping with the 1960s theme. It will be a night of fun, food, cocktails and even fancy dress!

I'm off to sort out my costume now, there is a huge netting underskirt waiting to be attached to my prom dress, lol!
