New Baby narrow DL card - Day 41 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

 So for day 41 of my 366 day challenge, I have made a New Baby card which I think could be sent to either sex - but the background and embellishments could easily be any colour!

New Baby narrow DL cream card + envelopeSo, I cut out the BABY blocks using the Tattered Lace Baby dies in white card and then glued them to some bright red linen card (which you can get from Craft Creations) once I was happy as to where I wanted them.

I then cut the block out and placed it on some embossed cream card (I used the Heart Trellis 5" x 7" embossing folder from the Love and Romance Sara Davies collection) and edged it using a Spectrum Noir Alcohol marker. I had used some Tim Holtz Distress inks to highlight the hearts in yellow and orange.

Once the block was dry, I then placed the panel on to a narrow DL hammered card using some Sitx2 foam pads. I then cut out a safety pin and bottle in the matching red cardstock using the Baby die sets from Trimcrafts "First Edition" collectiion. and glued them to either side of the panel.

New Baby narrow DL card - inside sentimentI then used a small sentiment from the Hunkydory's Book of Sentiments 2016 - am going to try and design a proper insert to go into future ones...And there you are a fun NEW BABY card which you can buy on my website here.

I also added a red safety pin to the envelope flap.

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...
