    Ikkle87 - that's the same seller that sells the cheap Karen Foster stickers. She has some great stuff and at really good prices.

    i just cut a strip of paper and folded it up like you would if you were making a fan. (am rubbish at desriptions and destructions lol) put a dab of glue on the two edges and positioned them on the card so that they looked like cupcake cases, then i drew the shape i wanted for the top of the cupcake and cut about 16 of the shape ( 8 per cupcake but you could use more or less) , used sticky pads to layer them then put a large blob of pva on the top and sprinkled red glitter to make a cherry and then used pva and white irridescent glitter to make icing.

    Great cards again Ikkle, you have such a knack of putting colours together!

    I made these last night in an attempt to get my Xmas cards started...

    Some chipboard shapes and a couple of decoupage. The bottom two are A5 cards and I cheated and bought the pyramid decoupage (?) images ready made.

    So I can now finally say I'VE STARTED MY XMAS CARDS :T :j
