Fun Birthday card using a Cut, Tuck and fold circle - 
Day 263 of my 366 day challenge


HI Craft addicts!

So for today's project (day 263 of my 366 day challenge) -  I have used a die, some cream cardstock, some Mirri card and a sentiment.


Fun Birthday card using a Cut, Tuck and fold circle

To make the topper and card:-
    buy now button
  • I had cut this lovely circle using the Tattered Lace "Cut, Tuck and fold Circle" in cream card (it would be lovely cut out in Topsy Turvy card so you could have 2 tones showing.
  • I tried it on a variety of coloured backgrounds, but thought it looked really great on this "Gold" Mirri card (from Hunkydory) especially as it was cut to size already so glued it on using "Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue".
  • I had also cut out the background using an "animal print" design from Pollyanna Pickering's "Walk on the Wild" card making kit from Creative Crafting World. This particular design is a "Lattice" style die from Tattered Lace.
  • This die cut was A5 and so I trimmed the border and glued it to the card front using the Cosmic Shimmer glue - must admit it is quite fiddly to do! I am going to try spray adhesive another time!
  • For the sentiment, I used one of the "Happy Birthday" from one of the "Background Artists" sheets and added it to the centre of the panel with foam pads.
  • I used some thin foam pads to attach the topper panel to the card.
  • Finally I added some "Raspberry Pink" Nuvo Crystal drops to some of the points to finish it off.

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...
