To a very special Man - Wine, Books and Travel 7" x 5" white card - 
Day 157 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Well it is another lovely day and so have made this simple but effective Father's Day (or male birthday) card using one of the Hunkydory toppers from the Little Book series, some gold mirror and brown card.

To a very special Man - Wine, Books and Travel 7" x 5" white card
So, first of all I glued the A6 topper sheet (from one of the " Little Book of toppers" - think it was the "Charming Chaps" one) on to some brown cardstock (which I got from Craft Creations) and then trimmed some gold Mirror card (this is from Kanban as it is a "matter" version rather than the really gold Mirri card from Hunkydory).

Once it was dry, I then added the whole thing on to a 7" x 5" white card (300/350gsm) which you can get from Hunkydory - their cards are really great quality - lovely and substantial which makes a change from other suppliers whose cards I find quite flimsy!

I also found that it is very difficult to find a die from any supplier that fitted this size - eac
h rectangle is not the same!  Anyway, once I was happy with it, I then used some "Glossy Accents" on the bottles to give them a glassy appearance.

And there you are....one fun card that has been made only using one 5" x 7" white card, one one topper sheet and some additional cardstock. You can visit my website The Handmade Crafts Shop and buy it 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...
