Crazy for cupcakes was the stamp set and Sweet Always the designer paper used, gorgeous colours and I went for a mixture of choc cupcakes with vanilla frosting and vanilla ones with strawberry frosting which one is your favourite? LOL. The image was coloured with my Stampin'Write markers, Bashful blue was used to add some shading. Now I've been inspired by the canopy cards I've often seen over on SCS and wanted to have a go at making one myself, only I didn't want to use the scallop punch so came up with the idea of ruffling some of the double stitched wide grosgrain ribbon, to do this I have simply pulled on the white thread. Looks very pretty IRL. Sentiment from Circle of Friendship set was layered using 1 3/8", 1 1/4" and 1" circle punches. Now enjoy the video and let me know what you think. Hugs Monica xxx

THANK YOU!!!!!! I have a very creative side ...my mechanical side is amiss...to say the least...all of the other videos were confusing...yours IS the best by far....thanks so much....
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty card Monica, and a great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteApart from the great video and card (obviously!), can I just say that I love how you photograph your cards! The background (your garden?!?) is a very good way of framing your work. Much better than having post-crafting desk clutter in them, hehe!! Keep up your fantastic work Monica. Wendy x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this video! I can't wait to try it out!

Monica, this is very helpful. I, too, had issues with all the special measuring! I know I'll be able to remember this. Thanks so much for your help.
