Have an Ice Day

The new set of Templates from Crafty Templates is now available, and there are some really cute designs.L eo's based this collection around an idea for a half-card, where the front of the card is cut in half and the template part stands proud.

Each month Leo puts together a fab Goodies Kit to go with the template sets, but this time I opted to go with my own stash - let's face it, I could do with making a dent in the stash-mountain.

The papers for my first card didn't take much deciding on (can you tell why?) and I've gone with the basic Half-Card idea for this one.


I reversed the template and cut it again so that I could use it on the inside of the card too


All papers MME "Breaking Free".

Cupcakes are appearing everywhere at the moment and Leo has featured a few fab cupcake templates over the last year or so - here's another from this month's set.

During the week the new BG "Lemonade" 6x6 pad arrived from Charmed Cards& Crafts (there may have been other goodies in the box too) so it was just screaming to be used with this template.
I cut the "topping" for the cake from pink felt - I was going to sew beads onto it for the sprinkles - but my beading needle refused to be threaded and my patience was running low so I put that aside and went with lots of tiny pink Primas. Do you remember those tiny sugar flower cake decorations? Can you still buy them?
