It happened again! At the beginning of March, I managed to get two card making magazines with plenty of gifts !!! Here  you can find the blog post on the bumper packs I got just before winter holidays. But let's go back to the new ones! Bargain number one is the ‘Make amazing cards’ bumper pack which contains: a project magazine, designer papers, decoupage sheets, 15 clear stamps , 2 embossing folders and more. The stamp set is too cute and came in handy for Easter cards :-)   Bargain number two is the ‘Rose and cute bunnies Make Special Cards’ bumper pack which has a 52-pages magazine, 9 cards + envelopes in 3 different shades, 25 clear stamps and patterned papers.   I find the shades of the cards very Easter-ish!   I think I'll use some of the flowers in this stamp set for mom's day cards... :-) Here some cards I made by picking elements from both packs

Last month I had the chance to get, for the first time, a couple of Cardmaking & papercraft  magazines: Papercraft Inspirations and Make Christmas card magazine. Papercraft Inspiration December issue had a Christmas window build-a-scene embossing folder and stamp free gift, as well as  free festive papers . Make Christmas cards was offering:  2 embossing folder borders ,  13 stylish stamps ,  32 Christmas papers ,  12 découpage sheets ,  117 toppers & motifs and  73 festive greetings. Here you have some of the cards and tags I've made with the magazines' gifts All cards have been donated to hospitals 

This is the first batch of festive cards I made! 🎄🎅  With few exceptions, I went for very simple cards. I used unconventional colors (blue, pink, brown), minimal details (no sentiments, few glitters), and definitely unusual paper themes 🤣 For a touch of originality, I thought about cards with  trees entirely  made of rhinestones  For the following cards instead, I have mixed and matched the complementary parts of the trees obtained with the Sizzix DECORATIVE TREE thinlits die set Last but not least, here you have classic festive cards with the reds and greens and some sparkle 😊

I made this card for a Halloween contest .  I chose a non-standard size   (20 cm x 20 cm) and  many different materials (craft paper, glitter paper, twine, cardstock, inks, watercolors, alcohol markers and more) I die cut and stamped pumpkins, ghosts and bats with the  Die-namics/ My Favourite Things   Halloween set. Last year, I used this same set to make an explosion box ( HERE ).  For the black background, I wanted something in stark contrast, but still within the range of classic Halloween colors!  1) I dabbed a gauze onto a white ink pad and then on the paper  2) I dripped white watercolor onto the paper by tapping the tip of a wet brush.  I've printed Halloween rhymes  on craft paper I've designed and colored the dance floor with alcohol-based markers   The mummies are digital stamps from Glimps Flag banner, stroboscopic light and spiderweb are all hand  cut/handmade. ...
