Hearts on a lattice frame - 6" square card - 
Day 72 of my 366 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

So, as the Rugby is on this weekend, I am making a quick card today for my challenge. It is a 6" square card which has been decorated with a lovely hand coloured peel-off sticker which is on various layers of different coloured cardstock.


Hearts on a lattice frame - 6" square card To start with I placed the peel-off sticker which I got from Craft Creations onto some plain white cardstock (or good quality digital paper) and coloured it in using red and green Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. Once dry, I then added some Sparkle to them.

I also stamped the heart design in the centre of the panel using red Memento ink and placed it on to a green flower which I had cut out using a Woodware punch. I then stuck that on to a pretty scalloped edged panel (I think it is a Tattered Lace one.

For the main lattice frame. I used a Tonic Studios die and cut it out in red linen effect card. I then stuck the heart panel onto it.

Using Cosmic Shimmer glue, I then placed it on the white card and added some pearl, diamond and black embellishments.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other" (From Altenew) in black Memento Luxe ink and embossed it using a holographic powder from DoCrafts Papermania.

I also drew some faux stitches around the panel to decorate it using a black pen.

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...
