Ship in a bottle - Happy birthday card  
Day 48 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So for something a bit different for day 48 of my 366 day challenge. This is a card that I have made using stamps and inks.Am really quite pleased with it so here's how I made it...


Ship in a bottle - Happy birthday card - Day 48 of my 366 day challengeFirst of all, I got a 120mm wavy edged square card and "distressed" the edges with a blue dye based ink pad (from DoCrafts Papermania) to take some of the whiteness away.

I then used the striped fish and Happy birthday sentiment stamps from Craftwork Cards "Take it easy" clear stamp set to decorate the corners and sides.

I then used the small ship and the bottle and stamped them on to a Tattered Lace Pearl Pin dot oval die cut (in white card) using Black Onyx Memento dye ink pad.

Using the same blue dye inks to match the card. I also stamped the "Happy birthday" sentiment on a smaller one at the same time and again coloured it.

Once the ink was dry, I placed the topper on the card using some foam pads to give it some dimension. I used the Xyron 3" Disposable Sticker Maker and placed the smaller oval in the centre of the card. I also used a clear Crafter's Companion Sparkle pen and added it to the bottle.

The envelope has a fish motif on the flap of the envelope.

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...

Happy Birthday Bee card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is a bright and cheerful one with a bee theme and I hope you will read more as to how it was made! I first of all decided which of the various beautiful designs I wanted to use from the latest Bumblebee Dance paper collection from Creative Crafting World's Paper Boutique range. After a while, I chose the Bee circle topper and the bee background paper to use as i think they are so colourful. Using the topper as a template, I chose a Tattered Lace Scalloped edge die and cut out a circle slightly larger than the topper and attached it using PVA glue. I then used the Rectangle part of the Standalone Dies from Time for Tea and cut it out twice, once in Lynda Chapman's Black card and another one using the Bee paper from the Paper Boutique collection. I took a 6in white card and cut off about 1.5" from the front of it and then used my Hunkydory Scoreboard to score the back part of the card several times. I used PVA glue again to glue the bl...

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...
