This fortnight at The Male Room, we have a Halloween challenge.
Halloween is always a challenge for me, we don’t celebrate it very much here in Australia, although it is starting to take off a little and there are a few things in the shops, which is just as well…..
I had to go searching the shops for something to put on my Halloween card, I don’t have any stamps, just a few papers. So I was very relieved when I found these cute cupcake toppers. I very carefully took the stick out and trimmed them a little, then adhered them over some patterned papers and black textured cardstock. I am loving that big, black owl!
You never know, we might make a bit of an effort this year, and put a few decorations up for Halloween.
Happy stamping!

Hi Chris – I think this is fabulous. You would never know that this is made of cupcake toppers! Halloween is very much an American celebration and when we moved here it was fab. I’ve always loved it – lots of fun. Great card xxx

Well your creativity certainly paid off here, cake toppers? They look brilliant on your card. Not much call for Halloween here in the UK either, just starting to take off as an idea, not sure they’re ready for cards yet but when they are, we will have a stack of them ready to send!
