Winter Black Magic

Sometimes words are not nessary to explain the card. To make this card I have used:

• SWALK Winter Cheer Stamp - Let it Snow
• Core'dinations- Black Magic Cauldron
• Darice embossing forlder - Snowflakes
• Spectrum Noir Pens
• A Sentiment from DO crafts
• Spray and Sparkle from Crafter's Companion

Just for You

Another fantastic stamp from SWALK that was crying COLOUR ME!!! This little easel card is an easy make. To make a similar one you will need: a die of some shape dear to you, some backing papers, a nicely stamped and coloured image, some embelishments and glitter spray.
What I used were the following products:

• SWALK Winter Cheer Collection CD for backing/design papers
• A SWALK's A PERFECT GIFT stamp
• Spectrum Noir pens
• Spray and Sparkle - iredescent from Crafter's Companion
• Nesting dies - Flower - X-cut from DOcrafts
• Roses from TheWorks
• Silver card
• Tim Hotz's distress ink - Peeled paint
• Just for You stamp from DOcrafts 
• Little green ribbon from Papermania Capsule Collection from DOcrafts

I cut out the flower shape as a card base and silver card layers. Then I cut out some smaller pieces from the backing paper, distressed them with some green ink and sprayed with iridescent glitter glue. After forming a little easel, I assembled all the parts of the card. Finally, I attatched the image (previously stamped, coloured  and cut out) and embelished the card with some roses, a ribbon and a little ''Just for You' sentiment.

Oh, there is a little secret. Last night I didn't colour the girl's hair well. Though the card was cute, I WAS NOT HAPPY.  After thinking and thinking what to do, it just clicked in my head. The simplest solution of all. I stamped the girl's head, coloured,cut it out and used it as a decoupage.

Cold Hands - Warm Heart

Winter is coming, bringing all the magic with it: cold feet, mittens and scarves, frozen noses, warm homes and love. Love never stops to exist even during this season.

This card is for all of those who believe in the magic. It is for engagement or dating, wedding or anniversary, or just simply expression of love.

Magic ingredients for this card are:

• SWALK winter stamp
• Spectrum Noir pens
• Core'dinations
• Roses from the Works
• DOcrafts X-Cut Scalloped Heart Die
• And, lots of love.

Love & Hugs

I do not know  how people create their  cards - whether they plan them in advance or they just start in order to see where their creativity is going to lead.

I belong to the second group, just letting myself  wander around taking unexpected turns and decisions. It usually ends with good results.

This project is one of many of those that have such a life. I just started with stamping and colouring the image. It resulted into a meaningful expression of my own idea what love is.

Magical ingredients:

• Humphrey 's  stamp collection 2
• Spectrum Noir pens
• Brown cardstock
• Some old piece of some old Papermania collection of papers from DOcrafts
• Some flowers from The Works
• Cotton ribbon .

SPECTRUM NOIRS

This lovely image is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens whose result was so good that I decided to cover a card with one of the backing papers from a Crafter's Companion CD (sorry, I cannot remember which one it was), glitter the edges and stamp a message. And the card was ready   in no time.

A Little and Inexpensive Gift

There are situations when it is very difficult to find a gift  which is not too much in value, but adquate enough to express either our respect, support or something else.

A small postie note pad is such a gift - inexpensive, but worth.
To make the one posted here, I used: 

• Humphrey's Stamp Collection 2 - Lottie
• Spectrum Noir pens
• Pink ribbon
• Brown 240 grm card stock
• Pink 240 grm cardstock
• Cheap postie pad from a supermarket ( I cannot remember which)

Score the brown card ( 8.5 cm x 18 cm)  on the longer side at 8.5cm and at 9.5cm. Then  cut twice two pink pieces to measure 7.5cm x 7.5 cm and  twice two brown pieces to measure 7cm x 7cm. Layer them on the scored card on which  the pink ribbon has been attached first. In the end embelish the little gift with the coloured stamped image and  attache the postie pad in it.
