This card focuses on two main techniques – firstly, embossing <3, and secondly, a little creative thinking when it comes to stretching your stamps – here’s a clue -the ribbon image behind the bear is actually a flag stamp from the Honey Bee Stamps Special Delivery set. There are loads more details, as well as more photos, over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog. Why not come and take a look!
Thanks for stopping by, have a crafty day!
Oh, and I should also tell you that the GIVEAWAY is still open. See the post below for more details!
THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED- THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
Oh crafty, crafty friends! My sweet and fabulous crafty friends! Not only do I have a video for you guys today, but I also have a GIVEAWAY!! YAYYYY!!
A celebratory giveaway, in honour of reaching 5000 subscribers over on the HungryHeffycrafts You Tube Channel! YIPPPEEEEE!!
I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who views my crafty work and for the awesome ‘likes’, thumbs ups and comments! You guys are all awesome and you really make my day! So I want to celebrate you guys with a giveaway!
There are three ways to enter the giveaway – see the details at the bottom of this post.
But first, here is todays project!
I am in LOVE with the adorable Page Huggers stamps from Mama Elephant – I love the cute critters and they way you can tuck the stamped images beneath their paws! I am dropping hints to hubby that I simply NEED the coordinating dies!
I have matched these stamps with some grass and cloud dies, as well as the madison avenue dies to create a frame. For the greeting I have used the ‘wonderful‘ and ‘fabulous‘ dies and the Sentiment Builder stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. I love that the Sentiment Builder set gives such great versatility, and I think they worked really well with the design of the card!
I stamped the bunny and mouse image, along with some of the coordinating images from the same Page Huggers set, onto neenah cardstock and used copic markers to colour them in. I actually wanted the mouse to be a rat, so I tried to colour him a bit like a hooded rat, which is why his head is darker from the rest of his body. I used a little twine for his tail…… Oh man, I wish I was allowed to have pet rats!
Here’s the video, where you can see the whole process of how I made the rat version of this card, but I loved the result so much I made two cards with the same template but mixed it up with colours, critters and sentiments!

Hello crafty friends, thanks for joining me today, when I am sharing a HungryHeffyCrafts doodle with you guys! A few months ago I drew a sketch of our team at work, and then a colleague asked me to paint something to go on baby Austin’s nursery wall.
I sketched around for ages and then ….totally forgot about it! WHOOOPSIE!
Finally this past weekend, I was reinvigorated to get the project finished. I am quite pleased with how it turned out! Apart from the fact that I am kicking myself about one thing….when I uploaded the photos to my computer I suddenly realised that there should not be an apostrophe! UGHHHHH! How irritating! This is why I shouldn’t spell at half past midnight!!
Anyway, I thought you might enjoy a few photos of the finished piece.
I used both my Koi watercolours and Winsor and Newton watercolour paints, first, and then used my spectrum noir colouring pencils to add detail and to outline the images.
So the whole family is Liz, Chris, Maggie, Monty and baby Austin! I swear I have stalked poor Liz’s Facebook photos so much in a bid to get the sketches just right! LOL
