Campfire cupcakes for charity

It was decided at work that we would have a Bake off to help raise some money for one of the charities work supported.

The office divided into teams and we had to choose someone to bake. The theme was cupcakes and it would be a blind tasting - no one would know who made what. They would then vote for the winner.

The winning cupcakes were to be voted on for presentation and taste.

The two of us in our team, nominated by our workmates, decided to secretly co-ordinate our presentation. Inspired by Pinterest (love Pinterest!!) my colleague made little tents on top of her cupcakes while I made campfires!

They looked so cute! Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate sultans for the rocks, mini flake for the logs and swirls of icing for the flames!

Hidden inside was a cream cheese, chocolate and orange centre, that you only discovered once you bite into it!

My colleague had a caramel centre in her chocolate cupcakes as well as hidden chocolate under her tent! Surprises everywhere!

I added the "toasting marshamallows" for that real campfire feel. Very cute!

We didn't win, but ours were the only ones all eaten!!

Kylie's Demonstrator training February Blog Hop.

Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month! We are all part of a training program that has the sole purpose of improving our Stampin' Up!® businesses and to learn from a variety of top Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. Please be sure to 'HOP' all of the way around to all of the projects on this Blog Hop, there is a list at the bottom of the page that will help you to make your way around. Today I wanted to challenge myself to try something a bit different by showing the versatility of any stamp set - even if it only has a few images - and do three cards with either different techniques or use the stamp in a different way. Maybe even look at the stamps in the set and see what else I can do with them. I thought this would be a good way to show someone, that may be interested in a particular set, or trying to decide, or thinking a particular set didn't do very much, to think again and see the possibilities....

Welcome! Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month!

What a great way to get ideas on all the amazing new product than with a card swap! Organised by one of the Crazy Crafters, Nicole, we had to create a card front using anything from the new Occasions Catalogue or Sale-a-bration products - those are the freebies you get for every $AU90 you spend - and that is soooo easy to do once you see what's inside the new catalogue! As the name says, there are new designs for all those upcoming occasions - Valentine's, Easter, Mother's Day, and almost anything ...

Crazy Crafters blog hop with Dena Rekow

This week we are hopping with Dena Rekow and using her blog http:// www.thecreativitycave.com/ as inspiration. I spent so long looking through Dena's blog - not because I couldn't find anything, but because I loved so much! In the end I decided to use this card as my inspiration. I loved the simplicity and the depth created with the different green ink colours used. And here is the card I created. I used the open leaf from Healing Hugs stamp set and stamped it in the colours Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade and Lemon Lime Twist - such a juicy fruit mix of colours! I wanted the colours to be uplifting for the sentiment that I used from the Friendly Expressions stamp set. I embossed the background with the Lovely Floral embossing folder to give added dimension and then mounted the embossed and stamped panels on Pineapple Punch. I cut around the sentiment and layered it with dimensionals. A...
