Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's C6 easel card for day 299 of my 366 day challenge is a "Get Well Soon" card using the "Scottie dog and dog bowl" dies from Tonic Studios.
Get Well Soon - Scottie dog C6 easel card

 How I made this card:-

  • I first of all took an A6 card and turned it into an easel card by folding the front part in on itself and creased it using a bone folder.
  • I then placed the bottom half of the easel onto my "Scor-pal" and scored it horizontally every 1/2" and then diagonally using the same spacing.
  • I coloured it using the "Brown - BR02" Dimension INX pad to give a "Brick" impression. 
  • I cut out the "Scottie dog" die from Tonic Studios in black cardstock (Lynda Chapman's black card from Creative Crafting World and placed some cream card at the back and stuck it down. 
  • I then coloured the "scarf or coat" in "Orange and Yellow" alcohol markers which certainly brightens it up.
  • I also cut out the "dog bowl" in silver and black cards and glued them together. I also cut out a "bone" freehand (I need to improve on that) in cream card.
  • I went into "Microsoft Publisher" and used one of the "speech bubbles" and added the sentiment "Sorry you are feeling 'ruff" - adding a brown tint to it - i printed it out and added another layer of card to it and cut it out.
To make the card up:-
  • I added a thick line of red liner tape and added some of the TODO "Black" foil  to it, making sure that it was in the right place of course!
  • I then placed the "Scottie dog" on to the right hand side of the card allowing a bit of him (or her of course) overhang the edge and then placed the sentiment to the left of it again allowing it to hang over the edge.
  • I then attached both the bone and the dog bowl to the black strip with foam pads so that it made a "stopper" for the front part of the card.

And there you are - a Get Well themed card which I made from a couple of die cuts from Tonic Studios and a sentiment I made in Microsoft Publisher.

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...
