August Make and Take



This morning I did a home workshop for Jan and this is the card that everyone made.
We used summer sun for the card base and layered with DP from the sweet pea stack in the mini catalogue, regal rose and very vanilla cardstock. The image comes from Big Bold Birthday. During the month of August you can purchase this stamp set for £19.16 saving you a whooping £4.79.
To start with we created our own background using versamark and the spots stamp from the set.
We used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the two separate images and stamped in regal rose and so saffron ink.
The greeting comes from the same stamp set and was stamped in chocolate chip ink onto very vanilla cardstock and then punched out using the scallop oval. You can see how we cut the scallops off the top and bottom so that the greeting fitted into the regal rose scallop.
To balance the card at the top we punched out three 1/4" circles and adhered them using the 2 way glue pen to the top left hand corner. We then added crystal effects to give a raised lacquered finish. (you just need to give this time to dry so everyone was carful with their card.)
A bow to finish the top of the cup cake was all that was needed. We used 1/2" striped grosgrain ribbon in pretty in pink.
The top photo show the insert for the card. the cupcake was stamped again and I added the happy birthday greeting from the set.
