January 2014

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.

One for special occasion

Yesterday we celebrated our 10th anniversary and must  admit that I was fueled to make a card that will be different this year. 

Tools and materials used for this card are the following:

• Crafters Companion Strawberry Kissed - Babe stamp set
• Crafters Companion Strawberry Kissed -  Together Forever stamp set
• Spectrum Noir alcohol pen
• Card from the Bamboo range
• Few embellishments from different sources

Happy crafting. xx

X-mas Diva

Christmas Divas - Debbi Moore  is one of my most favourite CD ever. I just love the overall art on it and the way it was one.

The card was easy to make after having printed a backing paper and the image from the CD itself. It took me 15 minutes to make this lovely X-mas card.

Black, Red and Grey

I love this card as it is done in in more or less three colour variations : black, red and grey. 

To make it I used LOTV stamp that I stamped on a super smooth card with my alcohol pens. I even coloured the background paper which I embossed and mounted all on black Core'dinations. To spice up I added the sentiment from one of Makey Backey's Chrostmas stam sets. 

Not bad at all ;-)

Tool and Materials used:

LOTV image

Spectrum Noir acohol pens ( all ice greys and black, reds: DR3 and DR5)

All Purpose Collall glue

Die'sire Embossalicious X-mas Folder : Mistletoe

Makey Backey X-mas message stamp from one of the stamps

Neenah Solar White card

Some pearls and a snowflake

Core'dinations Card -black

A coffee table decoration

I love the new embossing boards from Crafter's Companion. They are what they are name says  SWEET TREATS.

On one of them I say a triangular shape which made me think :-) and while I was thinking, an idea just came and developed into this small and lovely Christmas decoration :-)

This little project can be used in many different ways. You can hang in on your Christmas tree, use it as a little gift box or just simply intend it for a coffee table. ..

My 2013 Christmas Cards

 I am late with Christmas cards this year. Lots of different things distracted me from my favourite hobby: if I wasn’t moving house, cleaning and working, then it was just that I was just too tired to make myself make something and then recording it.

So, this is the chance to show everything that I have made in last few days.The basic material is all the same and mostly from Crafter’s Companion with the few exceptions : Debbi Moore, Tattered Lace, Lili of the Valley and DO crafts basic card blanks. All small embellishments come from different little sources.

The frist set of cards is from Crafter's Companion:

• SWALK stamps,
• Makey Bakey Christmas stamps

The second set of cards is from Lili of the Valley

 It was fun using these in conjunction with Spectrum Noir pens and Crafter's Companion embossing folders. Love the final results.

The third set is Debbi Moore's Christmas Divas CD.

 I just love these and could not resist to have a go. The final result is gorgeous and these easel cards just stand different. 

This green is my favourite one.

And, the last fourth set was made with the Tattred Lace Christmas dies.

I also used Crafter's Companion embossing folders and Xmas stams from the same company.

Christmas is coming slowly....

Chrismas is coming slowly and, I could not resist one of the new stamps:Crafter's Companion The Makey Bakey Mice collection. Just love this little fella and it was easy to make this card. It is all Crafter's Companion:

• The Makey Bakey  Christmas stamp: Holly Jolly Christmas
• Spectrum Noir pens
• Neenah Solar White card
• Tattered Lace Christmas dies: Snowflakes
• Die'sire Embossalicious X-mas Folder
