I have rather a lot of card kit collections, something I am doing my best to resolve. I decided it was time to select a kit and make all the cards possible until it was all used up. I chose a kit from Crafter’s Companion called “Humphrey”. Humphrey is a very sweet little elephant so the style of cards had to be cute and pretty.
In total I made 14 cards and one cracker which is suitable to hide a small gift in.
I used a die from Tonic studios to make the cracker and I was very pleased with the result. I plan to make more using acetate so watch this space!
I thought this large topper would look good on an easel card so I dug out one of my flower shaped cards and preceded to make up the easel frame from two cards. I then used two strips of Tattered Lace Edging Die around the outside of the frame to create a frame for the image and found a heart shaped punch to add some additional hearts to the frame. I wanted the inside of the card to look as good as the front of the card and so I cut a piece of lavender card stock with one of my Tonic dies and put a sentiment in the middle. This needed raising slightly to create a rest for the front of the card to sit against so I cut some additional sentiments in thick card and glued several layers together.
Once I got going there was no stopping me and so these cards came next…..
This one is crying out for a die saying daughter on it. Must put it on my shopping list.
I am not overwhelmed by this card I made.
On this one I used the Dotty Lace Border Die by Tonic.
Here I used a large die designed by Sue Wilson.
Can you see the word "sister" on the flags? These are Tattered Lace dies.
Very cute!
I love the Die'sire Create a Card dies and have used "Aurora" here. The aperture seems perfect for small toppers. The sentiment is by Cherry Lynn Designs.
Another cute one, perhaps for a sweetheart!
and again this time I have decoupaged the topper and used the die "Twisted Twine" Square from Tonic.
This really didn't need much more than matting and layering and adding a sentiment.
This is another Die'sire die called "Decadence" which is so pretty.
This die is from Tonic and called the Deco Frame "Ivy" It is simply stunning.
