Entwined hearts in red and white - Personalised 8" wedding card - 
Day 221 of my 366 day challenge


Hi Craft addicts!

With the wedding season upon us,  I made this bright, fun and contemporary card for someone and thought I would share as to how I made it!

Entwined hearts in red and white - Personalised 8" wedding card

  • Using the "French" border strip die from Sue Wilson (Creative Expressions), I cut out 2 of them in bright red card (but it could be any colour you like) and glued them to either side of an 8" white card (I used one from Hunkydory as they are great quality).

  • I then went into my Brother ScanNCut's web app CANVAS, and used the hearts image from the Stamp collection (an additional add-on that you can buy from Create & Craft)  and enlarged one slightly.
  • i then duplicated it and moved it so that it overlapped and then welded them together. Whilst in there, I used one of the more "substantial" fonts and typed the names of the couple along with the "and" symbol. I welded both names together and cut them out in the same red cardstock as the borders and one lot in white card too.
  • When the hearts are cut out, you get the middle parts of both hearts as "waste" so i decided to add the contrasting colour back into the centres once I had glued them into the middle of the card. 
  • I had also made sure that the names fitted the card (they are approximately 1.5" high) and then glued the first name to the top part and the second to the bottom. I also stuck the "red" and then the "white" & to the middle of the hearts.
  • To finish off the card I added some "silver" Nuvo Crystal drops to parts of the border strips and a couple of the swirly parts of the names.  I also cut out some tiny hearts in various colours and placed them in a cello-bag so the person who sends the card could add them inside the envelope as "confetti".

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...
