Cupcake Themed Handmade Cards

Here are some of the cupcakes "baked" using ONE simple rubber stamp. Making them is easy. All you need is a simple cupcake stamps, various pattern papers, embellishments and a good pair of scissors to cut them out.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy these "delicious" cupcake cards.



And if you look closely, one of them is actually an ice cream! See how versatile you can get when you select simple stamps? To have a variety of "flavors" for your cuppies, choose different pattern paper and stamp the cupcakes on it. That way, you don't need to color the stamped images and remember to use different embellishments to add dimension to your cuppies!

Featured Cupcake Stamps Set

Here are some of the cupcakes stamps which I think it's really versatile and you can use different stamps to change the design of the cuppies. My favourite is the Clear Stamps Cupcakes by Hero Arts. Definitely can't go wrong with that!


This is another set by Hero Arts and what I like about this clear stamp set is the embellishment included with the stamps set. At least you don't need to purchase more embellishment for your stamped images!

Christmas 2009 Stamps

Getting ready for Seasons Greetings? It is good to start early to avoid all the stamping stress when December comes.

Here are the clear stamps I bought from Hero Arts to get started on my Christmas Cards. In the next issue, I will feature all the cards made from this range of clear stamps. Just three sets of stamps and let's see how many cards I can make. I wish I have time as well, since I will be starting a full time job soon.

Another tip for choosing stamps for versatility, get those that are simple and easy to mix and match. So, if you have the same christmas stamp sets featured here, feel free to send in your creation to handmadecardsideas@gmail.com.

FREE Handwritten Font

For crafters, it is really nice to include handwritten font on your projects as it looks so much more personal rather than the usual ARIAL, TAHOMA, BOOK ATIQUA, etc.

You may want to frequently visit this site to check out their periodic FREE FONTS DOWNLOAD. Yes, they do SELL stuff, but you don't need to buy. Just click on the "FREE STUFF" and check what is available for your downloads.

CHEAP BRANDED Clear Stamps

Good sales are hard to come by for the branded clear stamps like Penny Black, Hero Arts, Cloud9, Autumn Leaves. After searching a long time, I finally found this online store that offers great pricing for a good range of branded Clear Stamps.

This store is the least expected online shop that carries a range of clear stamps. Simply search for "clear stamps" and you will get the whole range available.

Some items qualifies for flat shipping of just $5, so you can literally shop for lots of clear stamps and enjoy low shipment. Ok, this probably benefits our US folks, but for Australia and New Zealand members, stay tuned as I hunt for a good online shop for great shipment down under!
