 With Love - Wolf Card Challenge No. 10 - 7" x 10" card

Well, here it is - the last card made from the Moonlight (Wolf) Cardmaking kit from Creative Crafting World using the fantastic artwork of renowned wildlife artist, Pollyanna Pickering.

With Love Wolf (Moonlight) 7" x 10" card using Pollyanna Pickering image
This time, I have used one of CCW's own 7" x 10" Elegant frame card (Lily) (250gsm) to make it with the final topper and backing paper from the kit.  This card is made of up of 3 bits (all pre-scored for you) and makes a fancy easel type card when standing up. You have to take out the die-cut parts of the header of course!

To start the card, I stuck the topper on to a black scalloped edged square frame (this one is a Spellbinders Lacey Square) and then added a white deckle edged frame in Centura Pearl card on to it using thin Stix 2 foam pads. I then used the Tonic Studios Antique Rose Crystal drops around the frame to give more texture and whilst that dried I started on the next bit..

Once I had decided on the colour theme (which was to be monochrome), I used the remaining strip of the black and white "snowflake" backing paper - it was 17cm x 7cm (approx) and stuck it to the centre of the front of the card and then used some of the We R Memory Keepers "keystone" black and white Washi Tape which I have used in previous cards to added an additional border at the top and bottom. 

I then used a piece of the Craftwork Card's black & white gingham paper from the "Suits You Sir" mini paper pad and die cut it using a deckle edged die (think it was a Tonic Studios one) that was 10cm square. I then found 2 more pieces of cream and black card - this time 14cm square - one a trellis design and the other a scalloped edge solid design and matt and layered them and glued them all together using the Collall All Purpose Glue as it gave me some "wiggle" time to get them just in the right place.

After they had all dried properly, I placed the topper on to it (again at an angle) - I just can't do straight at the moment!! and stuck the whole thing on to the front of the card. As it was needing a bit of colour at this time (I know I changed my mind about it being just black and white), I found a "With Love" strip that I had got from Craft Creations in shades of blue and thought it was just right to inject the colour without being too over the top and stuck it just under the main topper.  I also added some small drops of Tonic Studios Crystal drops in black and navy.

And that is the front of the card and on to the inside of it... as it is an easel type card, I first added a narrow strip of the matching black and white paper to where I wanted the "stopper" to be and glued it to the back of the front of the card if that makes sense?  I then found a round "With Love" sentiment from HunkyDory and added a double lot of Stix2 foam pads to give it some height and placed it in the centre of the strip so that it acts as a stop for the other part of the card.

So that is card number 10 finished - not bad to have made a selection of totally different cards from the one card making kit "Moonlight" from Creative Crafting World's World Wildlife series which uses the fantastic images from Pollyanna Pickering. 

Since using this kit, I do have a couple of comments which I hope will come across as positive - first of all, I do feel that it needs more that 2 pieces of black card and the sentiments are sometimes a bit hard to read on the backgrounds they are placed on but these are only my thoughts.

I hope you have enjoyed these past few blogs and hope you will continue (if you have done) to read them - am now wondering what my next one will be on - have to keep up the momentum now I have started writing them regularly.

Again, this card can be bought (first come - first served as it is a one-off) on my website here

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 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...
