Unicorn - Smile 6" easel card - 
Day 306 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

For today's challenge I have made this "Unicorn" themed 6" easel card. I have used a Peel off sticker, some Gold Mirri card and a hand coloured background.

Unicorn - Smile 6" easel card

How I made this card:-

  • I took the "Unicorn" peel off sticker (which I got from Craft Creations) and placed it on some stamping cardstock (I use either Creative Crafting World or Stamps Away card) which I had coloured it using "Red, Orange and Yellow" paints to create this fiery sunset.
  • I then cut round the frame to give it a small border and then edged it with a black alcohol marker.
  • For the card itself, I folded the front of the card into the fold of the card and creased it so that it became a gatefold card.
  • I used one of the pre-cut "Gold" Mirri mats (6") from Hunkydory and added a "Twisted Vine" background which I cut out from a Tonic Studios die collection in white card, leaving a small border around it.
  • I then attached it to the main card (making sure that I only used glue on the bottom half).
  • I took a pre-cut strip of "matt gold" card (from Kanban) and embossed it using a "Scattered Dot" strip embossing folder from Tattered Lace for the stopper - and added it to where I wanted the card to stop using a double layer of foam pads.
  • I also added the main topper using foam pads in the centre of the card.
  • Finally, I added the "Smile" sentiment which comes from the "Year of Sentiments" from Craftwork Cards. I edged it with some "Red" dye based inks and stuck it to a "label" shape which is again from Craftwork Cards and had been coloured using "Red, Orange and Yellow" inks. 

And there you are - a fantasy themed card made using a peel off sticker, some Mirri card and some paints.

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...
