Paper Wedding Cakes

I'm really on a roll right now!

Check out these cute little wedding cakes made entirely from paper! They'd make fantastic little bonboniere holders or table decorations. You could even make them into birthday cakes and give them out as part favours filled with yummy goodies!

They are dead easy to make. One complete cake out of just one 12 x 12 piece of paper. The patterns I've used here are copyrighted but the templates would be easy enough to make yourself. Any box type shape is perfect. Resize to suit the layers and viola!! Cake good enough to eat and NO calories!!

Let me know what you think!

Sweet Bouquet

Well I'm back from my Summer Sabbatical!! I kinda lost my mojo there after Christmas but I'm now back with a vengance!!

I'm busily trying to think of things to make to take to Paperific which is happening the weekend of 5th-7th of March. Please feel free to drop by the De-Signs Made By me! stand where Alisa and I will be showing off the AMAZING Gazelle and Pazzles.

Isn't this little Bouquet of chup'a'chups gorgeous!! I'm guessing most of you have seen the paper strawberries that are popular right now. Well I turned them upside down and made them roses instead and filled them with chup'a'chups. Half a polystyrene ball, a metal bucket from the $2 shop and some nice paper for filler and there you have the easiest, cutest and cheapest dozen roses bouquet you can make!

If anyone would like the strawberry/rose file just drop me an email. I've only got it WPC format.

I've also listed some of my SU! stamp sets on eBay. My user ID is shellsub70 if you'd like to check them out.

Have a wonderful day!

Another Tent topper cad

Here's my 2nd tent topper for the day...Now to clean up the mess I've made!!!

This card is for a nail client of mine who is just gorgeous!!! She came to get her toes done with about a week before she was due. Now this young lady is normally toothpick size, so imagine her with a 9lb+ baby inside and with boobs!! She was just gorgeous pregnant, it suited her to waddle!!

Welcome to the world baby Sarah.

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have recovered enough to celebrate the New Year in style!!

I've just completed a card style called "tent topper". I did this for a friends wedding this coming Saturday. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I've continued the black, white and gold them on the inside of the card as well, with a little border of black hearts along the bottom layered onto the gold heart vellum along with 2 little red glitter hearts in the bottom right hand corner.

I have to make a baby card as well today and am thinking a nice monogram "S" (the baby's name is Sarah) on the circle bit with some lovely soft pinks and lilacs :) I'll post a picture if I get it done before midnight!!

If you'd like a WPC file of the card pattern just let me know and I'll email it off to you.

Have a wonderful day,

Hi all,

Long time no chat!! Life has been hectic to say the least for the past couple of months. It's only 6

sleeps till the man in the red suit visits and I just can't believe how unprepared I am!! I'm on target for getting next years Christmas cards made so for those of you expecting a card from me this year, don't!!

I did however manage to make these gorgeous little night lights for some friends children. As an added bonus they double as money boxes complete with coin slot and rubber stopper in the base. They measure about 5'x5' so are really cute!

The glass brick/boxes I got from a local tile shop and then I just did a print and cut using my Gazelle with items from Letteringdelights.com.

I reckon they turned out pretty awesome and I hope Joel, Olivia and Brook like them as much as I do!

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and I thank you for following my blog during 2009!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

Have a look at these gorgeous glass bricks Alisa from De-signsmadebyme made. Aren't they just beautiful!!! The vinyl labels on the front were cut out using her Pazzles (similar to a Gazelle) and then she just decorated the top with some beautiful Christmas decorations and ribbon. She also drilled a hole in the back of the bricks and threaded through some Christmas lights. How easy and stunning is that?? Great job Alisa!!

Have a wonderful day,

Waterfall card

Morning everyone!

Here's a gorgeous waterfall card I did for a friends sons birthday.

Everything you see here was cut our using the Gazelle. All the animals were done using the reverse print and cut method. Even the border on the inside of the card was cut on gazza which impressed me no end as it's a fairly fine star design.

I'm off to do housework...though while my son is at the birthday party with his dad I might take advantage of the peace and quiet and check out some of my fave websites. It's stinking hot here already today and I've just put the air con on.....surely it's too hot to vacuum!! LOL
