Valentine's Is Again.

Some people are lucky to receive more than one card for St Valentine's, and one of those is my other half who received two.

The first one was a Bebunni card just as a teaser and a reminder of the day and the second one  was from Bamboo Panda range. Both of the card were made with tools and materials from CRAFTER'S COMPANION products.

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.

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
