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

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

Well, after some months/years of crafting you start accumulating sentiments from different stamp sets and with different fonts and size... a cool way to use several sentiments at the same time is to combine them to create a nice  background. I stamped the sentiments using  dye   inks , rather than pigments because they dry very fast. Wild Rose , Celery Stick , and Doe  dye ink cubes  are from  Lawn Fawn  while  Lavender Fields is from My   Favorite Things . I picked sentiments and tiny shapes ( butterflies , flowers , candies , etc) from different stamp se...
