Babies

The very begining of this year started with hearing about babies, babies to come, babies that have already arrived,  ideas of maybe having babies...
So, where's smoke, there is fire, i.e. where there are babies, there are baby cards. As a consequence to all that fuss about them , I decide to make at least one as I am not very experienced in making baby cards. 

The card presented is from a Bebunni collection :


The tools and materials used:

  • Crafter's Companion Bebunni Baby Unmounted Rubber Stamp - Bundle of Joy
  • Spectrum Noir pens
  • Kraft card blanks from DO crafts
  • Some embelishments and scraps of paper
Overall, the result is not bad.

Let's try something different


 I thought that my mojo would be back, but I was not right. It was still hiding stubbornly somewhere.  The only solution was to try something different and messier and hope of success
It was a right time to try something sunnier and more positive and different from my Christmas cards which does not mean that I don't love making
Xmas cards,

Lost Mojo


January 2014 was spent in a wish to craft. Most of the time I was fighting with my lack of motivation, my lost mojo, and lots other things irrelevant to this blog.

There were very big breaks between my little projects. In this posting you'll see just few that I have made

After I had made this birthday card for my brother in December 2013, I completely stopped.

I did enjoy making it and it was easy.

The ingredients used for this card:

  • Time flies - Debbi Moore CD
  • Neenah card - Crafter's Companion
  • All sorts of Collall glues.

And then, the inspiration struck again, after some time and I made the following two:

I used here frlower stamps from Lili of the Valley, message stamps from DO Crafts, Neenah card  and an embossing folder from Crafter's Companion; and few embelishments.

Both of the project were completely coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and mounted on some kraft card blanks 
Having finished them quite easily, I really thought my MOJO was BACK, but it wasn't.

It took me days to sit and do another one ages. 

The new card was made in its entirety from a free gift papers from a magazine bought many many moons before.

I just cut them and mat and layered them on withe and card. AS a finishing touch, I sprayed the whole card with the iridescent glue from Crafter's Companion.
