Merry Monday and a Little Bit of Cupcakes


So alot of my fellow blogging stampers are posting "Festive Fridays" on their blogs so I decided to start "Merry Mondays". Every Monday from now until christmas I will be posting a new Christmas card for you to enjoy.

So for my first Merry Monday I have an awesome shaker card using the very cute Penny Black Hedgies. I love Hedgies, I really wish I could get my hands on some of the older SU Hedgies. This was the hardest thing I've ever done. I really wish there was an easy way to cut circles out of foam. Can you believe that I bought this glitter/bead mix a long time ago at a stamping yard sale. It worked perfectly for this card. Everything else is coloured in with Prisma pencils and baby oil (my sub for OMS - haven't been able to find it yet).

I also wanted to share with you the finished cupcake card. I finished it off by adding some glitter with my new Niji Pearlescent Watercolours (just like H20's but way cheaper - thanks Lisa :-)

The image was trimmed with my Fiskars Paper Shaper and matted with Basic Grey patterned paper, I just can't remember the name of the line it's from.

Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to scroll down to enter my Blog Candy!

  2. Both cards are great...but the Hedgies always call out to me. That card is so adorable but way too much work for me-I have to make 98 Christmas Cards. That's even before I count my Bella Sistah's now.

  3. Hi Sarah,

    The Hedgies are too cute! And the cupcakes too! Yum!! I like making cupcake cards and been wanting that Obsession Impression stamp but sad to say, can't find it here where I live. :(

    Your cards are all gorgeous!

    God bless you!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - the cupcake was fairly easy to make - it was the decorating that was hard to map out. But I am glad you liked it. Love your cards...
