Geeta posed a challenge to everyone on the A Muse Lounge to use the same stamp on five different cards. Since I have to make 99 Cupcake cards for an upcoming Art Exhibit I decided I would use one of the images from the A Muse Cupcake Builder clear stamp set. Here is my first card…

I used Copics to colour this cupcake – I was aiming for a chocolate cupcake with lemon cream icing. This first card is pretty dull but I’ve been having fun using a ton of different A Muse sentiments with this cupcake so stay tuned throughout the rest of the week for more cupcakey goodness.

If you’re in St. John’s you should check out the exhibit – Get Baked: Art for Your Sweet Tooth. The show is going on from February 5th to 7th at the Arts & Culture Center. Click on the link for more details!

A Muse Stationery Set – Monday, January 25th (6:30pm)
Join me at The Paperie to create a beautiful Stationery Set of 6 matching cards and envelopes featuring the new A Muse Shimmer Couture Paper and stationery stamps. Keep it for yourself or give as a gift – these cards are perfect for any occasion and will be enclosed in a matching portfolio. Included in the cost of this class is one of the newest clear stamp sets from A Muse, the Monogram Frames Set! You will love the versatility of this stamp set and you’ll be able to use it again and again to create gifts and custom stationery any time of the year.

February Class:

Something’s Fishy Valentines – Tuesday, February 2nd (6:30pm)
Join me at The Paperie for my third class as an official A Muse Instructor – we will create a bundle of coordinating Valentines that are sure to make a splash! Featuring the latest A Muse Release: Sea of Love, we will be diving into fun techniques – experimenting with Copics, Spicas, and using A Muse Simple Stick powder to make those valentine’s glitter and shine! Even if you don’t typically make valentine’s cards, you won’t want to miss out – we’ll have a variety of birthday and other sentiments on hand that you can use in place of  “Happy Valentine’s Day” greeting if that’s what floats your boat!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth, unless you count the world wide web. In keeping with the theme of 2009, technology has failed me once again. My laptop died shortly before Christmas and I have been without a home computer – I might just have to bite the bullet and save up for a new computer.  

Have you seen all of the amazing new stamps from the new A Muse Sea of Love release? Oh my! I live on an island in the Atlantic ocean, so this oceanic release is right up my alley. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more versatile Valentine’s release – can’t wait to get my hands on these stamps, especially the Seahorse and the Jellyfish!

The Muses really outdid themselves with their fantastic cards and projects this week – each blog is worth a gander, so click on the links below “A Muse Creative Team” for lots of inspiration.
