Vintage Grand Prix C5 cream scalloped edged card - 
day 246 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today, I have gone vintage using this great "Grand Prix" image from one of Hunkydory's "male" collections in this tent fold C5 cream scalloped edged card.

Vintage Grand Prix C5 cream scalloped edged card


To make the card - 
  • I first of all took the "Vintage Grand Prix" oval topper from the "Gentleman's Journey" cardmaking kit and removed the two frames from it.
  • I then used the largest oval and measured the inside of it as I wanted to make an aperture within the C5 cream scalloped card - this measured 11x14cm approximately,
  • I used the standard shapes within my Brother ScanNCut, chose an oval and resized it.
  • I then scanned in the card using the Scanning functiion and placed the "Oval" where I wanted it to be and cut it out - why have I never used this before - it was so simple! Though I probably would have cut it slightly lower down in the card but hey ho!
  • Using some Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue, I attached the large oval frame on the outside of the card making sure it was in the right place and no glue went on to the inside of the card.
  • I then used the "oval" waste from the card and glued the actual topper on to that and edged it using a black alcohol marker.
  • I wanted the topper to come out of the card a bit, so added some thick foam pads to the back of it and placing it in the aperture and pressed it lightly as to where it should go inside the card.
  • I cut one of the remaining frames into 4 and glued them to the left hand corners and added some "Dark Walnut" Nuvo crystal drops to the right hand side and the space in between the two tracks.
And there you are....a slightly different card with a motoring theme.  Don't forget you can visit The Handmade Crafts Shop anytime to see what else I have for sale.

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...
