Crafty Daze

This month is full of birthdays for people who are truly special to me. Here are the cards I have made for two of those people. A little Edwin playing the guitar and the laughing lady have been stamped onto shrink plastic before being coloured and heated. I have used glimmer mists and cosmic shimmer sprays to decorate the embossed card. I embossed the cards using my cuttle bug and cut out apertures to hang the dangly bits. There are little shrinky plastic butterflies all around the feminine card. Both cards have been edged using stickles.
Lovely birthday cakes! mmmm! I think these will go down well with everyone. A vanilla sponge covered and filled with buttercream icing. I have used sugar ladybirds, leaves and flowers to decorate it. The fruit cake is huge, delicious and should have enough fruit and brandy to ward off any evilness for the next year or so!!

I have completed my twinchies for the August swap on UK Stampers, this months theme is pets. I have used some batting and have sprayed it with glimmer mists and cosmic shimmer sprays before sprinkling on different coloured mica powders. Some of the powders were perfect pearls which I found sprinkled better than the cosmic shimmer powders, they didn't clump together so much.

I placed a little cat on the top. The cat image was stamped onto black shrink plastic and then heated and coloured to add a little gloss. I glued the cat on with glossy accents.
