Humphreys Corner

This week I've been using the free gift from Simply Cards and Papercraft to make some much needed christmas cards. The gift was a Humphreys Corner decoupage and paper pad with clear gemstones. Its not very often that I buy kits, or that I have time to sit down with them for long enough to make more than a couple of cards, but I decided that I would use the whole kit. It came with 2 copies of  2 designs. As I don't like making cards that are very bulky if I can I only use half of the decoupage layers when I make cards. Usually layer 1,3 and 5 will go on one card and 2,4 and 6 on another. This doesnt work with all images as I have found out in the past due to how they have printed each layer but its a good rule of thumb especially if you dont use expanding envelopes. I now have 8 lovely elephant christmas cards to go towards my card a day challenge and towards the christmas card stash that I have in my cupboard. I have entered the cards into the magazine in the hopes they will print some of the cards and maybe even get a free crafty gift out of it. See what you think.
