If the Sun and Moon... Wolf Card Challenge No. 8
Hi Craft Addicts!

Well I am now down to the last card so have kept the one I am most pleased with to last (though there are a couple smaller cards to come..). I think the reason I like it is that is quite simple and the colours used just seem to work (well I hope they do anyway).


If the Sun and Moon.. wolf card challenge no. 8 Pollyanna PickeringSo, for this one, I used the square topper that is 5cm and placed it on some cream linen cardstock (I got mine from Craft Creations). I then used a green Spectrum Noir alcohol markers around the edges to make it stand out a bit.  I then cut a square (7.5cm) with the Spellbinders Square Swatches die in black Hunkydory Adorable Scorable and layered the topper on to it. I used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to do this as it does "grab" very well which you need for the black cardstock.

I used a pre die-cut green, black and white diagonal striped matt that I got from a Kanban Christmas pack and then added the layered topper on to it and stuck it to the centre of the card as I wanted to keep the front "clean", I placed a large frame (14cm) in black card which I had cut from a Verso die from Tonic Studios, along with a contrasting smaller, more detailed one (12.5cm) in Kraft card on top of it. 

I didn't think it needed a sentiment on the front, so just added the "If the Sun and Moon would ever doubt...." on to a flower shape (which I'd edged in yellow in the centre inside.










With the envelope, I just added a black frame similar to the Kraft card on the front of the card and there you are my 8th card....

Only a couple more to go...







Don't forget - like all of the cards in this challenge, 50% of sales will go to the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP)....

Merry Christmas to all circle Christmas Card - 365 day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this one made totally from scratch. I used the largest circle (about 4") Petit Picot edge die from Spellbinders and cut out two pieces of card - the front is Paper Dienamic Metallink A4 card and the back part is Sheena Douglass A4 white willow card. I scored the back part about 3/4" towards the top and married the two pieces together and added some red liner tape, removed the carrier sheet and stuck them to each other. The black frame is cut out of Lynda Chapman's Black card using the Inverted Scallop die from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection and I stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty pen as it allows the glue to only go on places it needs to. I had a scrap piece of red cardstock and I cut the oval bauble (from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Festive Collection Sparkle Baubles set) and then used silver mirror card to cut out the top part. I glued them both to the card usin...

Congrats... square card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Congratulations stamp and some patterned paper. I must admit i can't remember who produced this patterned paper but think it is Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World.. I rounded the corners of a 5" white square card and thought I would use it as a tent fold (that is with the fold at the top). I then cut out a piece of this foliage patterned paper so that there was a narrow border left when I placed it on the front of the card. Instead of adding a layer of black card behind it, I edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it on using a tape runner pen - so many companies now do them or you could used  a light layer of PVA glue. I then cut a narrow panel (about 2") of the same paper so that it fitted the card and then stuck it to a slightly wider panel of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock and stuck that to the card slightly left of the card front. I then placed the bird and...

There's Gnome one quite like you 7x5 inch card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a fun one using a mix of dies and stamps.. I first of all stamped out the Forest Gnome stamp from Francoise Reads collection by Woodware Stamps (part of the Creative Expressions company) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured it in using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Triblenders and cut each element out as I decided I wanted to use them separately to make up my design. I then cut out the Cracks and Pots dies from Carnation Crafts in white watercolour card and again coloured them in using a variety of the Triblenders until I was happy with the blending. I coloured a small panel of white stamping card (approximately 5" x 4") with Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide for the sky and then a green ink from Simon Hurley - both from Ranger. I edged it with a black alcohol marker and glued it to the front of a 7" x 5" top fold white card using PVA glue. I then stuck on the gnom...
