To my Little Monster - Halloween Aperture DL card - 
Day 291 of my 366 day challenge

HI Craft addicts!

Got myself a bit muddled with my challenge - it is only day 291 of my challenge and this time it is another Halloween card - this time a DL aperture card. Once again I have used the Hunkydory "Halloween" stamps set.

To my Little Monster - Halloween Aperture DL card

How I made the toppers:-

  • I first of all stamped the "Little Monsters" from the "Halloween" stamp collection on to different kinds of card - one normal stamping card and the other linen effect card (you can definitely see which is which) using Versafine "Onyx Black" stamp pad.
  • I coloured the "Dracula" (the one on the left) using a black alcohol marker and a coloured pencil for his face. I used just the "black" pencil for both of the others as I wanted to have a different texture feel to them. I then used "Yellow", "Orange" and "Pink" for their faces etc.
  • I also stamped the two "pumpkins" and again used the coloured pencils to colour them in. I then fussy cut them all out until I was ready to make the card.
How I made the card up:-

  • I used one of the triple aperture DL cards from Hunkydory and took the apertures out and coloured them in using different shades of "Blue", "Green" and "Red" Distress/Dye based inks and removed the main circles to use another time.
  • I then coloured the front of the card with the same colours, making sure that the inside was protected.  I tore a piece of card and masked off various sections so the colours mirrored the background.
  • I then used a tape pen and placed them through the apertures so they were in the right place (not sticking them down fully until I was happy that they were).
  • Using some foam pads,  I attached each of the mini toppers so that when the card was closed they still popped out.
  • I then stamped 2 of the "cobwebs" on each of the top corners and a couple of the "bats" as well. I also stamped the sentiment "To my Little Monster" towards the bottom of the card and glued the 2 "Pumpkins" either side of it.
  • Finally, I used a black Micron Fineliner pen to add some faux stitching to the edge and some more of the bats to the inside of the card.  also drew a small spider on the outside of one of the apertures.

And there you are - a fun card made using the "Halloween" stamps from Hunkydory along with some dye based inks for using on the card and background...

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

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...
