Blank star or snowflake C5 easel card - 
day 313 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's C5 easel card has been made using a couple of Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) dies along with a Tattered Lace die.


Blank star or snowflake C5 easel card

How I made this card:-

  • I took a C5 card and turned it on its' side and folded the front flap in on itself to make an easel card.
  • I cut out the "snowflake" in white card using the largest of the dies from the Sue Wilson Christmas 2015 collection.
  • I then cut out the "Stained Glass" circle (again from Creative Expressions), this time in red card.
  • For the panel itself, this is cut out from black card using a Tattered Lace "Pin dot square" die.
  • I then stuck the red circle on to it using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and then added the "snowflake" on to it only gluing the centre part of it.
  • I then added the whole panel on to the middle of the card, making sure that it is only glued on the bottom half of it.
  • I then cut out the "hearts" border strip on my Brother ScanNcut using "black" American Crafts card and added it to a "Gold" Mirror strip (from Kanban), leaving a small edge on either side.
  • I then glued it to either side of the main panel (trimming it to fit) and added the remaining part to the inside of the card using foam pads to make a stopper.
  • Finally, I added some "Morning Dew" Crystal Nuvo drops to the red circle and a larger drop of "Caribbean Ocean" to the centre of the snowflake.

And there you are - a stylish and cheerful card which hopefully would cheer anyone up when receiving it and could be given for any occasion.

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...
