The Snowman

I loved the Snowman when i was younger, it was like a family tradition that we watched it all together on Christmas eve while Mum provided mince pies and hot chocolate so when I saw some Snowman postcards I had to buy them. The problem is I didn't want to just stick them onto cards, this didin't seem very creative to me. So instead I used three or four of the same design and created my own decoupage by cutting out different pieces from each image and layering them on top of one another. On some cards I used bright glittered papers with them for a modern look, where as others I used blue paper, to look like the snowy sky, I have to say I'm quite pleased with the results.







Big Cards...

I've been focusing on scrapbooking alot more than cardmaking recently but when I saw these two A4 card kits in a sale for just £1.00 each I decided to give them a go. The kits had so much stuff in that I think I'll be able to make at least 4 more cards from the embellishments I've got left.

Purple Flower Card:

I love all the glitter details on this card and that the decoupage has four layers to really add depth.

Yellow Sunflower Card:

This card comes with gorgeous fouiled details around the edge and four layer decoupage really gives the card depth.

Anitas 3D glitter decoupage

I love these decoupage sets, they're so pretty and girly. There are lots of sheets to choose from and they all come diecut so they are very quick to put together without all the fiddely cutting out.They have an RRP of just 99p and each sheet comes with three floral decoupage images which are beautifully glittered. 

Here are my first two examples:

I love this image, it's so pretty and the butterfly is lovely. I used a deep leafy coloured background with a pink mount for the greeting to tie in with the pink on the butterflies wings.

On this card I punched some daisies out of the corners to continue with the floral theme. I used a more pastel green for the background. This image is just such a wonderful pink colour.

Honey & Hugs Decoupage

As promised some cards made using the new Honey and Hugs collection. These were made with the decoupage and papers. I really love this cute, fun collection from Papermania.

1. This little piggy.....

For this card I simply made up the decoupage, mounted it onto blue cardstock then stuck it onto a lovely background paper (The Spring Stack) attached a ribbon and bow (Papermania), mounted the greeting onto coordinated cardstock and stuck it over the ribbon.

2. Baaah Baaah Rainbow Sheep.....

For this card I stuck a rectangle of Honey and Hugs paper onto a white card blank, then added a decoupage sheep and three white glitter dots (Anitas).

3. Twit Twoo a card for you.....

My fiance actually made this card when I forced him (he wanted to craft really) to have a crafty day with me over the weekend. I think he has done an amazing job, and he even let me teach him how to line envelopes!!!! Well done James!!!!
