CT - I love your cupcake! Glad you found it as easy as the pram, I thought it looked much more complicated
I do think it needs a cherry on top; I've got a lovely red glittery gel-pen here - if you like I could colour in a scrap of paper for you to cut some circles out and mount on card? PM me your address if you do and I can get it in the post tomorrow.

Hi JailhouseBabe,

I think the reason that it was easier to do than you thought was because I didn't make it up as a card, and just used the cupcake shape as a topper, so it was just a case of printing out the template, and cutting it out onto the card. My biggest problem to be honest was what design paper/card to use for the cupcake case:rotfl: . Thanks very much for your offer - about to PM you.

Lovely cards everyone, well done to you all. I hope to do mine in the next couple of days as my son is back to school and my OH is off to work with his mate for a couple of days so fingers crossed I get some time to have a go.

I was thinking of getting one of these

Do any of you have one? I have only just started crafting and I thought it would be good to use for a beginner and it also comes with some card and paper which I could do with....what do you guys think?

Here's my entry for the challenge, it's a bit bonkers because its a wedding card but its really bright but I really wanted to use these papers and they seemed to match the image.

Melissa75 Gorgeous card, love the papers! can I just ask, do you glue them onto the card? I have some nice papers, quite busy, but don't know how to use them really..

Polly1976 Thanks for your comments re the crafterscompanion, I am soooo tempted, its free delivery as well...
