Gosh...my throat's sore now, all that shouting! Ok..here's my card..
I've used Berry Fairy CupCake!! (I love it...made some Christmasy cup cakes last weekend, well, John did, and they were lovely! they had brandy butter and golden balls and everything!) Anyway, where was I?? oh yes...I used, Berry Fairy CupCake. Printed her out four times, coloured her with Promarkers, cut them all out, one using my large scalloped Nestie circle, cutting the bottom off the cupcake. I then did a bit of 3D-ing to build it all up again. Easy! Here's a close up...
The Backing Paper's are called Bake and Be Merry and came from issue94 (November) Papercraft Inspirations Magazine. You can download them for free, HERE but they seem to only be doing their downloads in jPegs now...(you were given the choice of the PDF format before, which was much better! hint hint!) Anyway, they are freebies so we mustn't grumble!! Click the above link and go and find them! There's green and red stripes as well as these little cupcakes with candy canes and holly. Perfect for a late Christmas, New Year or a festive Birthday card! If you make a card using the paper's why not let them know, you might get published! (like what I did once!)
I've teamed the cupcake papers up with freebie red gingham papers, which you can find HERE
Both papers were matted onto red card and inked in Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. With red and gold spotty candi brady thingies on the corners and a few gems. Used my Memory Box Frosty Border die-cut again, (coz I love it!) I'm beginning to sound a bit like what's he name?? that gay guy with the squeaky voice, oh ...y'know... him, anyway...continue...
The flower stamens and gold bits were pulled from some old Christmas decorations.
Tip, any dec's that have seen their best, check them out before you throw them out, they might be recycled as Card embellishments!!
Freebie Fonts Out side, Straw Berry Sweet..(Your very sweet...I try my best) I've used a font called the Gingerbread House download it HERE
Inside (Don't count the candles....Eat The cake, Happy Birthday!) I've used KingsThings Christmas2. (Linked on Thursdays post) Wizards Magic and Thinking of You or you can just Google the names.
I went a bit wrong with the glitter, it was meant to be micro fine, but I accidentally used...embossing power (Oops) blew it off and then used Stickles Glitter. Once that was dry, found the micro glitter and just dusted it wherever... added a bit of ribbon...punched out some tiny holy using a tiny Woodware punch on the edge of some green peel offs.. so they were already sticky! and...oh yes, coloured white flowers with a Crimson Promarker to match the strawberries and the cake... that's it! Phew!! I have done an ATC too... but I'll show you that tomorrow. Time for a fairy cake! Catch you later!
