Spooky Party Cupcake Toppers with Batty for You

These fun, spooky, batty, cupcake toppers really make your cakes and cupcakes sparkly and festive. I used the Batty for You stamp set from Stampin'Up!, this set is perfect for toppers, there made circular and punch out easily for a quick, easy, and fun project. For this set I used the black cats, bats and spiders and the traditional Halloween colors of green, purple, orange and black. This set is currently for sale in my etsy shop If you have small children these are great for class parties, the kids love playing with the topper/favor long after the cupcake is gone. Happy Halloween to all!

Even the Naughty Deserve Something Nice

I'm having so much fun creating cupcake toppers for LilypondCrafts.etsy.com. This set is sure to be a conversation starter if you have them at your Holiday Party. This is a set of 12, some of them are stamped with a Christmas Greeting with something for eating, the others with Even the Naughty deserve something Nice, they all have a Make Merry tag on the back. They are made with card stock, designer card stock, ribbon, lace, stamps and shimmer spray, and are mounted on lollipop sticks. These could be used for cupcakes, a cake or however you wish to display them. At my shop I have a couple of set made for Halloween. Enjoy!

Here is the final sample, I hope :)

I made the changes and additions you requested; I added the Celebrate Msgr. John Esquivel under the Grandparents; I increased the size of the dinner details; and I changed the time to three thirty in the afternoon. Like the other samples this was a draft printed on white, the final will be printed at the best printing quality on vellum. Email me and let me know if this will be okay.

Sample 3 a

Here is Sample 3 with the addition of the dinner details in the bottom left corner....I didn't have time to change the time for this sample but for the final product it can be easily changed to three thirty in the afternoon.

Inside top and bottom Samples 1, 2, and 3

Sorry for the misunderstanding, these samples make the wording look well spaced and not too crowded, here are 3 samples to choose from, in Sample 1 Padrinos is on the inside top full size, the statement/church details are on the inside bottom full size ; in Sample 2 the statement/church details are on the inside top full size and the Padrinos are on the inside bottom full size; in Sample 3 the Padrinos is on the inside top half sized centered and the statement/church details are on the inside bottom. *Note the samples were printed on white paper, the finished product will be printed on vellum. If you have any questions just give me a call. I wrote the sample number as described above on each picture, when I uploaded them the got out of order. ttyl

Spooky Party Cupcake Toppers

Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of year, I don't think I'll ever get too old to dress up in costume, if I hadn't been so shy when I was young I would have liked to be an actor.....and get paid to dress up, lol....Any how I created some really cool, really SPOOKY Cupcake toppers to help make the season festive, they would look awesome with my Halloween Party Invitations. I have more Halloween Toppers in the works and just tonight I finished up a set of 12 Christmas themed Toppers, haven't had a chance to photograph them yet. More to come I'm on a roll :D

A very Vintage Christmas

I just had to share this card I designed using a vintage style stamp set from Stampin'Up! I love the way it turned out, one of my favorite parts of it is the ribbon. I know it's retired but I got it on sale and retired or not it's gorgeous :)
I also used some smooch spray, I love the effect but I'm having alot of trouble with the spray, seems clogged and I cannot get it to work :( so I'm going to get some small spray bottles from walmart and transfer it to the new container and hope it works, lol.

The Feeling of Fall is in the Air

Summer has come to an end, the temps are getting cooler and before long we will be ringing in the holidays. Time sure flies and so has this year, but I love the holidays, it's my favorite time of the year! So I have been creating cards and crafts for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and stocking my Etsy shop Here are a couple of Fall inspired cards....Enjoy!

Newly Designed Gift Card Holders

It seems like more and more people are giving Gift Cards for Christmas and Birthdays, so I thought my customers would like to have an attractive Gift Card Holder to fancy up and give a Handmade quality to their gift. It was actually based on the mini candy bar holders that I cased from my upline Dawn Griffith, I just changed it up a bit and added a larger slot to hold the Gift Cards. They look great, very cute under or hanging on the Christmas tree, and of course they are available at my shop~

Halloween is just around the corner

Good morning,
Summertime is quickly coming to an end and fall is approaching, with it comes one of my favorite holidays- Halloween!!! I've always loved Halloween and I still love dressing up in costume as much as I did when I was a kid, lol, guess I'll never grow up :D
I have a couple of cards I created with some new Spooky Stamp Sets from the new Holiday mini from Stampin'Up! that I will share with you today, they are also listed in my etsy shop so if you like them alot you can purchase. I also have some other Spooky projects that I will be sharing with you during the next week. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Springtime Cards Abound

I have several new cards I recently created, all with lovely springtime colors such as lavender, yellow, pink, blue, and greens. The pink flower and butterfly card turned out really cute and it sold the day I listed it in my etsy shop, I loved that. I really need to make another of the same design and see what happens.
The birthday card in lavender with the bird cage was based on a card I saw in a card magazine, I liked the layout and use of stamps so I just changed the color scheme and stamps, I'm very happy with the results, it also sold almost the minute I finished it, lol, actually a friend loved it and had to have it!
I have several more new cards designed, they are listed at my etsy shop
Thanks for stopping by!

Newly Designed Gift Cards

While I have been away for sometime, much has been going on with our family; bridal shower, birthday, wedding, baby shower (not for the bride, lol) another birthday, family visiting from out of town and 2 of my daughters have started playing softball. Even so I have managed to get creative and design some new cards. Theses are a set of gift cards with envelopes, they measure 3" x 3" and open up to 3" x 6" , roomy enough to add a personal message, they are the perfect addition to your wrapped gifts and gift bags.

Stamped and Painted Ceramic Tiles

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post, so many things going on, so many activities, the holidays and winter break. I feel like I've been in hibernation, like a bear, when it gets cold I just wanted to stay close to home and the warmth. But although I have been a home body, I have been creative.....here's a picture of some coaster tiles I made for a gift. First I hand stamped them then I added some hand painted touches; color on the tree, flowers and large fluffy clouds. They were well received and I too was very pleased with the results.
But now my hearts a flutter :-) and I am busily creating Valentine's, here's one of my newest designs, I also have several others, check back for more!
