Guest Star Stamper Cards

A fun to make card using PTI Pond Life stamps
Stamped the frog in versamark to create a watermark on the front of the card then cut out an oval aperture. Stamped the tortoise onto white card stock the cut around this and stuck to the front of the card.
The inset picture was stamped onto a piece of card that fit snugly into the inside of the card so that it peeped through the aperture opening, stamped the sentiments and added a couple of clear gems to the corners to finish.

I used the leaf to make a background on this card then added stickles to make it stand out, I cut out 2 large circles one slightly larger than the other and punched out a circle from the smaller of the two, using versamark I stamped the leaf pattern all over this smaller circle to create a watermark then fastened both circles together with an eyelet.


I punched out 3 circles from white card stock and stamped some of the flower heads onto these then arranged them on top of the rotating circle. I then stamped through the hole I created all of the different flower heads and attached a ribbon to the side of the hole, this allows you to rotate the top circle to see the other stamped images, I stuck down the rotaing circle onto the main card then added berry accents and stickles glitter to finish.


You can see from the shot below the other flower stamps in this set when the top circle is rotated they peek through where I punched out the circle.

Using PTI Garden of Life Stamps I stamped 3 of the rose heads down the right hand side of the card then cut around individual petals and raised them slightly to add texture to the card, I then took the same stamp and stamped it onto a seperate piece of white card stock and added the stalk and leaves in a bamboo colour using the same ink and a straight sentiment from the stamp set I curved the sentiment to match the flower stalk, layered this onto matching card stock and added ribbon to the corners, Them using the centre of the flower circles I stamped these in the bamboo ink top and bottom to add contrast, used a little bit of stickles glue to finish.

Lauren & Stuart's Engagement Cake

The finished Engagement Cake
Well I finally got there ready for the Engagement Party on 16th May
I tried to take the picture before the sun went down to get good light but it wasn't to be, so, I hope the shots are good enough for you all to see.

Although you are only seeing a 2 layered cake we do have another just for cutting but that is just a plain one for cutting up


Here I tried to get you a close up of the top display on the cake

Thank goodness it's done

Another Piece of Cake


I started to add the sugar crystals to the Engagement cake for my Daughter, well all I can say is that "it's no easy task to add these little devils to the side of the cake."
I am now the proud owner of a very crunchy kitchen floor and believe me they had spread for miles. Whats worse is you can't see them on the white ceramic tiles.

This is the small heart cake I've yet to tackle the large one.


I think we'll be crunching sugar crystal under our feet till christmastime.

Piece of Cake


So Sweet...
A friends wedding is looming so I thought I'd start to plan out some cards and with Piece of Cake PTI Stamps to the ready I started by stamping the little flowers all over the base card in versamark to create a watermark effect.
On white card I stamped up the cake changing the ink to a darker shade for the flowers and popped the words on in the same ink.
The next piece of white card I shaded in on one corned then stamped a flower all over the opposite corner in the lighter ink then tied a ribbon around the whole piece and knotted at the front.
I finished by adding a few pearls to the centre of the flowers and 3 pearls to opposite corners on the base card.
