Lisa Spangler has one of my favourite blogs - Sideoats & Scribbles, and now she's started a challenge - Make-it + Mail-it - ie, make a card (or something else) and then mail it to make someone happy. Well I've just got to take part and although I missed out last week, a family birthday next week has got me card making. And as the theme of this week's challenge is "sweet" - what could be sweeter than a cupcake?I bought some Flowersoft a long time ago when it was all the rage but I couldn't get on with it and in fact didn't like the look of it. But if you wait long enough, everything comes in handy sooner or later - later in this case - and it was perfect as the icing (frosting) on my cake. And doesn't that red button look delicious on top! The cupcake stamp is from Papertrey's Baby Button Bits set.
And to go with it what about one of my sweet apple keyring/bag charms wrapped up in a stamped and beribboned coffee filter paper - an idea I saw on Nichole Heady's blog here. Hope that's enough SWEETNESS.
I love your sweet card, Ann (I have an unused jar of that flower soft somewhere, guess I should pull it out and use it for frosting lol!) The strawberry and packaging for it is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat card could not be yummier! Love the button/cherry - good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty card .... good use of flower soft. I never bought any of that, though, Lord knows I've got everything else in my stash!

Oh Ann! Love this card! It's so yummy!!! Sure to make the birthday person happy. :)
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with Flower Soft too, but you've inspired me to try and use it again!
Thanks so much for entering the Make-It and Mail-It challenge! :)
That cup cake card is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks good enough to eat and the packaging on your little apple is so sweet. Fab work as always Ann.

What a gorgeous gift! Aperson couldn't ask to recieve anything more wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your apple and the coffee filter as wrapping paper is a really cute idea. The flowersoft is very effective and I had to look twice to see that the the cherry was in fact a button.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty Ann and what a good idea to use the flowersoft as icing - I have some I bought the Christmas before last to use as snow and never got round to it, so I might case your idea here if you don't mind. I've just had a look at your stall at the craft fair and it looks so gorgeous and professional. I wish you luck at the next one.
