"i stamp for lara" weekly challenge #1

 over at the we stamp for lara fundraiser

is the cupcake challenge

this week we have been asked to make something with a cupcake theme

i am in christmas present making mode so i thought i would use the challenge as a way to kick start my present making.

this is for a friend who loves cupcakes 

and is a whizz at making them. 

i am hoping she will make some yummy xmas ones 

and use my box of cupcake accessories to pretty them up!

 sssshhh but i am secretly hoping she doesn't come and visit my blog sssshhhh

 my cupcake box contains 

12 cupcake toppers 

12 cupcake holders

12 serviettes

i used stampin up's jolly holiday dsp and perfect punches stamp set.

cupcake holders were made from this template

i used the christmas perfect punch stamp with my scallop circle punch and some riding hood red and old olive ink plus a toothpick or so to make these toppers

i also stamped into some white serviettes

here are all the goodies packaged into the box

the box was 2 12x12 peices of card

top was scored at 70mm all around

bottom was scored at approx 67mm

large divider was 

approx 20cm (1.5cm each end was folded to make a flap) 

x 15cm (6x6 plus 2 1.5cm flaps)

small divider was 

approx 11cm(1.5cm each end was folded to make a flap) 

x 15cm (6x6 plus 2 1.5cm flaps)

i promise i'll post a tutorial up soon to explain all that odd measurementy stuff lol

the lid was cut originally as a 10cm x 10cm square but it looked too small so i just randomly punched circles out using the 1" punch and stuck a thin window sheet to the back

i finished it all off with a lovely peice of green stripey ribbon and some of that noice red ribbon with a tag attached with twine.

if you want to join me and my stamping friends and help the lovely lara get the help she needs please come and join us and sign up at madonna's blog

Please get behind me and many other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in our support for a fellow demo, Madonna Dunn.  Madonna's youngest daughter, Lara May, was unexpectedly born with the most severe form of Cerebral Palsy, and will need ongoing treatment, therapy and extensive support for her lifetime.  As with anything medical, special needs means especially expensive.  Essential items that we take for granted such as chairs, strollers and car seats are available, but at a cost of many thousands of dollars.  To this end, Madonna and the members of the wider Elite team have organised a project, We Stamp for Lara.  This is a month-long event, to which you can subscribe for a cost of $25.00.  Entry into the event gives you access to a wonderful selection of tutorials, challenges and daily prize drawings, as well as a gallery and forum.  Everyone involved has donated their time and skills to ensure that every cent raised will benefit Lara.  Madonna, angel that she is, has also arranged to donate any outgrown equipment to the Xavier Children's Support Network for the use of other children like Lara, so your participation will benefit others for years to come. 

Please go to Madonna's blog to sign up for this awesome charity fundraiser
