Mince Pie Cakes...by Sarah

This week I have been continuing with my Christmas spirit quest and have been experimenting in the kitchen. My husband asked me to make him some mince pies but nobody else likes them in our family. So I experimented by creating a pie in the traditional way but with our favourite autumn cupcake top. And what a success. The 2 dozen I made barely lasted a day, lol.

You can find all the ingredients and instructions {HERE}.

O Christmas Trees!...by Vicky

 

I'm still in a Christmas mood this week.  Sorry to those readers who feel it's still a bit early!

I've been making decorations and in the spirit of the moment - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle -  rather than buying, them I've been making them.  I stumbled across this great project idea on You Tube - Magazine Christmas Trees. 

 

Once you've made one you'll be hooked like me, I've made 4 already!  Great to make front of the TV! :)

Christmas Lists!...by Vicky

 

I don't know about you but during the lead up to Christmas, I make endless lists.  Lists for food, presents, cards and the like, and I can never find them when I need them.  This year I'll have no excuse. because I've made a book of lists to keep them in one place. 

You can make one quite easily with just some supplies you'll probably have lying around your craft room.   The how-to make it is HERE

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper Pad - I used Echo Park - Victoria Gardens

Asstd. Pearls and Gems

Letter Stickers/Rub-ons

Glitter

Index Cards

Book Rings

Pom Pom Trim

Going small today and using a sheet of 6 x 6 paper to create a layout

Ingredients

Echo Park - Happy Days 6 x 6 paper pack

Maya Road Kraft Tags Alphabet

Melissa Frances Resin Applique - Provincial

Stamps

Blue Ribbon

Ink

 

Here's How

First of all take a sheet from the Echo Park paper pack and inked the edges with yellow.  Then use a stamp to create a border around the edge of the page.

Layer different shapes and colours from the Echo Park paper pack to create the background.

To create some texture, roll some small pieces of paper (make sure the ends are glued well otherwise the unroll!) 

Glue a resin frame to a sheet of paper and when dry cut out.  Adhere inbetween the rolls of paper.

Embellish with ribbon and some gem stones.

Little Cupcake....by Beckie

Ingredients

Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen 12 x 12 Collection

Melissa Frances Kitschy Kichen Stickers

Prima Cottage Blossoms Orchids

Stickles - Cotton Candy

Cupcake shape card

Pink Buttons and Ribbon

Scallop Circle Punch

 

Here's How

The Kitschy Kitchen papers are perfect for making cupcake cards.  

First I traced around the top of the card on to pink paper for the icing.

To create the cupcake case I took a sheet of the paper and folded it as if I was making a fan! :)   I then flattened the whole thing and adhered it to the card base.  Trim an excess off.

Next add the pink topping and smear on some of the stickles for some sparkle.

Add a strip of paper to the base edge of the icing and add some buttons.

Punch the scallop circle and adhere to the top with a button in the centre.

Finish the card with a prima flower, Kitschy Kitchen sticker and pink ribbon.
