I’ve been papercrafting for about 15 years now


“I’m Lesley Oman and I’m originally from Northern Ireland, but I live in England with my husband and six- year-old daughter, Piper. I’ve always


loved crafting, and last year I decided to launch my own line of stamps


under the brand Heffy Doodle. I love to mix and


match old and new stamps, so my team and I tried to keep our range consistent to provide more


versatility. Our designs are cute, whimsical, easy to colour and they’re all drawn by me!”


Marry me? You will need


l 11in x 4.25in card l Masking paper l Tim Holtz Purple Wilted Violet distress ink l Tim Holtz Tumble Glass Blue distress ink l Heffy Doodle Beary Big Heart stamp set l Alcohol markers; grey alcohol marker l Gold embossing powder l Silver embossing powder l Heffy Doodle Jet Alphabetters stamps l Heart sequins l Heat tool l Adhesives l Scissors l Memento ink pad l Embossing pen


1


Cut an 11in x 4.25in card and fold lengthways to create a top- folding notecard.


2


Sketch a speech bubble shape onto masking paper


and cut out using scissors. Adhere to the card, and add Purple Wilted Violet distress ink along the edge, then blend some


Tumble Glass Blue distress ink below the purple.


3


Using the Heffy Doodle Beary Big Heart stamp set, stamp a


bear image and the diamond ring image using Memento ink, then colour the bear with alcohol markers. To add colour, use an embossing pen and cover the ring with gold embossing powder and the diamond with silver embossing powder, then use a heat tool to set the colour.


4 5


Use the Beary Big Heart coordinating dies to cut out


the images. Use a grey alcohol marker to draw a shadow onto the card base, then adhere the bear and the ring to the card using glue dots.


Remove the mask to reveal the white area at the top of


your card, and stamp a sentiment using the Heffy Doodle Jet Alphabetters stamps and purple dye ink.

l Most of our Heffy Doodle stamps coordinate perfectly with one another. This means that you can build up your collection and get a lot more use out of your stamps. l Inking is easy and fun. Why not experiment by cutting shapes onto copy paper to create your own


Finish the card with a light sprinkling of tiny


heart sequins.


Lesley Oman’s TOP TIPS


I Lava You You will need


l Watercolour cardstock l Scalloped die l Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers distress inks l Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio distress inks l Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass distress inks l Cloud stencil l Memento inkpad l Heffy Doodle Geology Rocks stamp set l White embossing powder l Black cardstock l Red cardstock l Card blank


masks? Or, use the negative of your die cuts to create little stencils. l Adding a little grey ink under your stamped critters will really make them pop; it gives your project more dimension and makes those cute critters really come to life.


1


Using watercolour cardstock, die cut a stitched rectangle


shape. Next, use a scalloped die to cut the edge on both the top and bottom of the card, about 0.5in from the edge.


2


Add colour by using the Peacock Feathers, Cracked


Pistachio and Tumbled Glass distress inks, then spritz with splashes of water for a distressed look.


3


Using a circular scalloped die, cut an aperture into a


coloured panel. This will help to bring attention to the focal piece of your card.


4 5


Take your card blank and use a cloud stencil to add some


cloud inking to the front of your card with Tumbled Glass distress ink. Using the stitched steam die from the Heffy Doodle Geology Rocks die set, add some stitching then stick your inked panel on top.


Using a Memento inkpad and the Geology Rocks stamp set,


stamp the volcano image onto watercolour cardstock, then use watercolour paints to colour in the image. Stamp the face image and die cut with the coordinating dies. Stick these onto the volcano using a glue pen and affix the volcano onto the front of your card.


6


To finish, use white embossing powder to emboss


the ‘I lava you’ text onto black cardstock and layer onto red cardstock. Adhere to the front of your card using foam adhesive.
