Baby Humphrey!

 Here are a couple of new baby cards that I have recently had to quickly assemble, fortunately I have had some die-cut Crafter's Companion Humphrey's Corner decoupage to save me! I have to say the one thing I hate about craft...cutting any sort of decoupage! Hey presto, the cheat's answer to this becomes available and here I am! I have combined with some papers from my stash and cut the word 'baby' for the card below with my Cricut American Alphabet cartridge.  Some lace and odd bits of bobs complete these very simple cards.

Golden Wedding Anniversary Cards

Once again a request; a card for a husband to celebrate 50 years together. Not to be traditional, funny and for a couple who love animals and are having 2 mice on the cake... This first card was made using the Cute Companions stamps, one from Summer Stories and one from the original range. The patterned paper is from the Summer Stories CD Rom. The swirls have been cut using Cricut Essentials and the flowers using a punch. The banners were stamped and cut out. The sentiment was printed on my printer and cut with Spellbinders...phew!! Oh, and I have coloured with Promarkers and Scattered Straw Distress inks!

This was option 2, the image is from the Humprey's Corner Crafters Companion's 'All Occasions' decoupage set. I have mounted using Spellbinders Ovals and Scalloped Ovals. The flourishes are from Spellbinders to, the new 'Jewel Fanatasies' dies. I have also used Persian Accents and Motifs dies from Spellbinders and some flowers from my stash to finish it off. In the end both cards were taken, and they were a pleasure to make for a lady who volunteers at the Hospice in the Weald, where my husband works (the lady in questions also regularly supplies us with yummy cakes!)

Best Friends

I made this card for my friend's birthday; I think these Humphrey girls are so cute! I have had a play with colours and think these work for spring. I have even attempted to venture into the world of shaped cards here with my simple easel! The girls have been coloured with Promarkers and cut out using Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Scalloped Circles. The papers are from a pad called 'Love Letters' I think!

Lili of the Valley Christmas Cuties!

This card was made from one of the LOTV new stamps, I love this dancing girly, she is full of the joys! The sentiment is also one of their lovely circles and I have used Spellbinders to layer. Embellishments are from my stash: a wooden snowflake and some raffia. I have used some red ink to distress, but think I may have overdone this slightly? Still, we all need to experiment, don't we?

This is another of the LOTV images that I couldn't resist buying! I love these cats and decided to colour them to match the other things I had (actually did it the right way way round this time; normally I colour and then have no papers etc!). The colours are Promarkers and Flexmarkers, flowers from my stash and I have experimented with some of the baker's twine that seems to be everywhere at the moment!

A slightly different version; my first easel card! Thought I would try some frosty colours and I quite like them! Spellbinders used to layer, Cricut Paper Doll cartridge for the snowflakes and the sentiment is a Humphrey's corner one from Crafter's Companion.

Humphrey's Corner Christmas Decoupage

Ok, I know this is a very late Christmas post; let's just say that Xmas was a little mad this year! I purchased some die-cut decoupage from Crafter's Companion this year, in the hope that I would be able to run-up some cards quickly this year! Here are a few samples, the images are so cute and I have to say the quality of the die-cuts are fab! Hope you like them x

I also purchased some most of the Humphrey's Christmas stamps and the CDs, so the sentiments have been stamped and the papers are a mix from my stash, the CD- roms and a lovely paper stack I purchased.
