Home Sweet Home - black and white C5 card - 
Day 281 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

A bit late today as I am trying to sort out my Dropbox account and so far not succeeding! - Anyway, this is a C5 black and white (with a hint of colour) "New Home" card. 

Home Sweet Home - black and white C5 card

To make the card:-
  • I first of all cut out the "Home Sweet Home" die (from Tonic Studios) in white cardstock. It is a long die so you do need one of the larger die-cutting machines.
  • I then attached it to some black cardstock and "fussy cut" around it allowing some of the more ornate parts to hang away from it.
  • I then coloured the roof using a "Tan" Spectrum Noir alcohol marker and a "Light Green" one for the grass.
  • I wanted the card to have an interesting feature so I cut the right hand edge away using one of the "Pearl Borders" die from Tattered lace (about an inch).
  • I then coloured through the scallops and some of the edge using some "green" and "pink" Generation INX inks.
  • I also added 2 rows of the "Wavy edged" black Peel off stickers to add a bit of detail to the edge of the scallop. 
  • I then took a sheet of the black and white paper (from Craftwork Card's "Noir de luxe" 8" square pad and cut it so it measured 95x200mm and glued it to the centre of the card leaving an equal space on both sides.
  • Finally, I added the main panel on to the card using foam pads.

And there you are a card using a some dies and some ink pads. Don't forget you can visit The Handmade Crafts Shop anytime to see what else I have for sale or sign up to my monthly newsletter 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...
