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 .

WORLD CARDMAKING DAY -Crafter's Companion Challenge - Little Angels


Little Angels

Being in love with these two little Humphrey Angels just fuelled me up to make this card. Techniques used for this project are the following: stamping and colouring, matting and layering, embossing with Cuttlebug and glittering.

Materials used:

·         Humphrey’s Christmas stamps
·         Spectrum Noir pens
·         The Snowman for backing paper
·         Darice embossing folder – Snowflakes
·         Glitter from The Works
·         Spray & Sparkle – Iridescent
·         Neenah card

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.
