Travel by Car - I heart DAD 7" x 5" tent fold card
Hi Craft addicts!

Another card here that can be used for any occasion from Father's Day to a dad's birthday this time using a Hunkydory topper from the Magnificent Men kit and a "I heart DAD" sentiment placed on a 7" x 5" card which I have turned on its' side to be a tent fold card.

Travel by Car - I heart DAD 7" x 5" tent fold cardFirst of all, using one of the "transport" themed topper - "Travel by CAR" from the kit, I matt and layered it on to some white and then black card so that it stood out more.

 I then cut out a rectangle (deckle-edged) in a golden coloured Adorable Scorable (7.5 x 9.5cm) card. and then added some black and white Greek key style We R Memory Keepers Washi tape in the centre of it and then placed the topper on top.

Then cut out a larger scalloped/lacy rectangle (10x13cm approx) - think it is a Spellbinders die but could be a Tonic one!! in black 200gsm cardstock (from Creative Crafting World) and placed the whole topper in the centre of this using Stix2 foam pads giving it some height.

Leaving the panel for a moment, I found a border (again from a Hunkydory kit) which I thought coordinated well and cut it into 2 strips and stuck them with a wider band of black card to the right hand side of the card.

I really like the Trio dies from Tattered Lace as they don't have to be used to make flowers - I used 3 different sizes in complimentary colours (ie red, gold and black) from the EMMA set and glued them at different angles and then placed it in the middle of the panel. I then used some STIX2 foam pads and added the sentiment to it.

I haven't added an insert as I felt you could add a variety of them to cover all sorts of occasions - I am going to be producing a range of downloadable inserts that could be printed off and used in this card....

So once again, I have produced a stylish (well I think so) card that uses a variety of products and companies which I think shows that it is really good when you can mix and match them.

Products and items you might need to make this card..


  • 7" x 5" white 300/350gsm card with matching envelope
  • Topper - Travel by Car from the Magnificent Men kit from Hunkydory
  • White cardstock

Mother's Day flowers card

Mother's Day flowers card Hi Craft addicts! I really love using Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons and so I made this card with one of the designs I created. How I made this card:- I used Tim Holtz Ranger Yupo paper as the base for the flower design - I used his Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown Distress Crayons - just added a few flicks of colour to the paper and then quickly used my finger to spread it a bit...  I repeated the process several times, changing the size of the flowers slightly. Once I was happy with them, I then used a damp waterbrush to fade the colours out a bit. I also used some of the Ranger Blue and Green Distress Crayons to add a faded background to it. I trimmed the panel so it measured 3" x 4.5" and edged it with a Black alcohol marker. I then glued it to some Kraft card (American Crafts as it has a linen effect to it) and cut it so there was a slightly wider border around it. I attached the whole panel to the front of a 5"...

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card Hi Craft Addicts! Today's card is a result of using a background I have created myself using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons along with dies from Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me. How I made this card:- I had been playing with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to make the flowery background (it measures approx 5" square as the card itself is a 6" one - to do it, I used Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, experimenting with the "strokes"  I used - it took a bit of time to get the effect right - I used normal stamping paper this time rather than Yupo as it gives a totally different effect. I also used a paintbrush and some water to blend them in even more. Once I was happy with what I had done, I then added some green alcohol marker to create the stalks and some faded blue and yellow spots dotted around the pattern. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. ...

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card - Day 110 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card -  Day 110 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this Birthday card - especially colouring in the background which I am pleased with how it turned out. How I made this card:- I had previously cut out a few of the Meerkats (a Tattered Lace die) using various cardstocks and thought that this Kraft card one would work well on a desert background. I therefore cut a piece of smooth white card to 110x145mm approximately and started to colour it in. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to do this-  Tea Dye, Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge are the main ones used - making it darker at both the top and the bottom. I also added a hint of green to the centre of the panel. I then cut out the oval label panel in the middle of it (I think it was either a Tonic Studios or Tattered Lace die) - I also cut a similar panel using a darker Kraft cardstock. I stuck the large layer on to the fro...
