Just for you - trio of hearts DL card - Valentine's Day 

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is for Valentine's Day but could be used for anyone wanting to say they are thinking of someone!

Just for you - trio of hearts DL card - Valentine's Day

How I made this card:-
  • I have had these "hearts" from Craftwork Cards some time and suddenly had this idea as to how I could use them....
  • I first of all took a piece of rectangular white card and cut out a panel (3 squares) using the trio die from Tattered Lace.
  • I then used a panel die from Sue Wilson to finish it off.
  • I added each of the 3 "Hearts" on to the "waste" parts using a tape runner and edged them all in a variety of colours (trying to match them to the hearts).
  • I also cut out a larger rectangular panel (again using one of the Sue Wilson dies) in "Red and white" dotty paper and glued the base panel on to it.
  • I then added the "Hearts" back on to the card using foam pads to raise them off the card.
  • I then used a square of the dotty card and added the "Just for You" sentiment from the same collection and edged it in black alcohol marker and attached it to the card below the main topper with foam pads.
  • Finally, I added three drops of "Red Berry" Nuvo Crystal drops (gloss) to opposite corners of the card and one each between the heart squares.

And there you are - a bright and cheerful card that I made using some hearts from Craftwork Cards collection, some dies from Tattered Lace & Sue Wilson and some Nuvo drops. You can buy it here

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...
