Boofle

Karen's birthday card

Karen's birthday card

These wonderful cards were made from the gorgeous Boofle kit I received the other day. The papers alone are divine and had to be used sparingly on a scrapbook layout along with several cards. I added some card candy from craftwork cards (always a must have I think in every crafters stash) and some ribbon from my stash. I also used a Marianne creatables die for my mat in the pink floral paper.

Dad's birthday card

I took a craftwork cards card blank for my dad's card. Inked around the edges nad added some faux stitches. I also used an X-cut border punch to add some detail.


Happy Crafting

Belated Happy New Year.

I've been rather busy with this and that and haven't had much opportunity to get online. Hopefully all that will change this year. I've aquirred lots of new goodies in the past few months that I am hoping to play with now I have my studio back. I made a lovely card using Debbi Moore's new Chrystal Dreams cd. I enterd it into a competition she was running just before christmas.I used some card candy and Martha Stewart glitter to accent the easel card.
I also had the opportunity to play with the lovely Seraphina Through the Ages.

I bought myself a Cuttlebug late last year and have a loads of fun using it. These cards were the very first that I did using it. I can't craft now without it. I made all my christmas cards with it along with two beautiful stamps I picked up from Lil of the Valley at the NEC in November.

I used water color pencils to color the images. The papers were from one of the Crafters Compainion cd's along with some card candy and card stock I had in my stash. 
I've also made some cards using Cupcakecrafting's cd.

 

Here is my card that I did for an Easter challenge. I was rather pleased with the end product. I'm happy to say it won that challenge too. I was so excited lol. The rabbit was a free stamp from a craft magazine (I confess I can't remember which one), the papers were also freebies. I cut the papers using woodware chippies as templates and I've decorated using card candy.

This card was done also using the freebie stamp and papers from K&Co, along with more of the card candy. I love these little things they really do finish off a project beautifully. I'm going to have to get myself some more. I've also been having a play with aniqueing(?), but I would like to invest properly in some Tim Holtz ink pads and some blender blocks.
If I do say so myself my major clear out the other month has made a world of difference to my mojo. My cards look and feel so much better than my previous efforts.
