It's Time to Party! Flamingo and balloons DL card - 
Day 108 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

It's Time to Party! Flamingo and ballons DL card i chose this topper as it is so much fun and thought it went very well with the background that I had hand coloured using a variety of ink pads.

I took a pre-cut piece of A6 white linen cardstock and coloured it using both Tim Holtz Distress, Papermania and Altenew dye based ink pads (pinks, yellow, greens and orange) merging them in together so it created a really lovely background - the linen effect gives it a great texture too. I then trimmed it slightly and glued it to some of Lynda Chapman's black card.

I looked at a variety of the toppers in the "Bigger Book of Toppers" - Birthdays and chose one of the flamingo images as I thought the colours co-ordinated with the background quite well. I added some foam pads to it and placed it in the centre of the background so it gave it some dimension.

I also used a topper (from another Hunkydory collection) "It's Time to Party!" as I think they worked together well (I backed it on some black card so it matched the main topper and again used some foam pads to raise it up.

I then used some pink and gold Nuvo crystal drops to add some embellishments to the top and bottom of the card.

I haven't added a message inside as I think that can be done "to order".

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...
