Just for you wildlife silhouette 5" window aperture card - 
Day 4 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Day four of my challenge and this time I have used a window aperture card to make this Just for You card. Simple but stylish I think!


How I made this card:-
  • I have some of these Window aperture 5" white cards and needed to use them up so thought they would work with this idea I had.
  • I cut a piece of cream hammered card to fit the inside of the card and hand coloured it using various shades of green Pigment and Distress inks (with a touch of black to darken the top of it) - I used Altenew inks primarily for this but also Tim Holtz Distress inks as well.
  • I did want it a bit darker but made do with this for this card so let it dry.
  • I then cut out (using my Baby Blue small die-cutting machine), the Rabbit, fawns, grass and ivy in black card so they would appear in silhouette.
  • Before sticking the green card to the back of the front of the card (if that makes sense), I used some blue Altenew inks to colour the frames and again allowed it to dry....
  • I then stuck the card using a tape pen (though you could use red liner tape) and worked out where the animals and plants should be and then glued them in place using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue - though I do also use Pinflair's Glue-it glue!
  • I cut out the Just for you sentiment in gold adhesive cardstock and the backing layer in black and stuck the sentiment to the top right hand corner using foam pads - I really love the sentiments that Lynda Chapman has brought out and hope there will be a lot more of them in the future!!
  • Finally, I snipped the ivy to fit the card and added some White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter drops to the frame..

And there you are - a card that is quick and easy to make but looks good I think - and one I would be happy to either give or receive!

Congrats... square card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Congratulations stamp and some patterned paper. I must admit i can't remember who produced this patterned paper but think it is Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World.. I rounded the corners of a 5" white square card and thought I would use it as a tent fold (that is with the fold at the top). I then cut out a piece of this foliage patterned paper so that there was a narrow border left when I placed it on the front of the card. Instead of adding a layer of black card behind it, I edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it on using a tape runner pen - so many companies now do them or you could used  a light layer of PVA glue. I then cut a narrow panel (about 2") of the same paper so that it fitted the card and then stuck it to a slightly wider panel of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock and stuck that to the card slightly left of the card front. I then placed the bird and...

Happy Birthday Bee card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is a bright and cheerful one with a bee theme and I hope you will read more as to how it was made! I first of all decided which of the various beautiful designs I wanted to use from the latest Bumblebee Dance paper collection from Creative Crafting World's Paper Boutique range. After a while, I chose the Bee circle topper and the bee background paper to use as i think they are so colourful. Using the topper as a template, I chose a Tattered Lace Scalloped edge die and cut out a circle slightly larger than the topper and attached it using PVA glue. I then used the Rectangle part of the Standalone Dies from Time for Tea and cut it out twice, once in Lynda Chapman's Black card and another one using the Bee paper from the Paper Boutique collection. I took a 6in white card and cut off about 1.5" from the front of it and then used my Hunkydory Scoreboard to score the back part of the card several times. I used PVA glue again to glue the bl...

Merry Christmas to all circle Christmas Card - 365 day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this one made totally from scratch. I used the largest circle (about 4") Petit Picot edge die from Spellbinders and cut out two pieces of card - the front is Paper Dienamic Metallink A4 card and the back part is Sheena Douglass A4 white willow card. I scored the back part about 3/4" towards the top and married the two pieces together and added some red liner tape, removed the carrier sheet and stuck them to each other. The black frame is cut out of Lynda Chapman's Black card using the Inverted Scallop die from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection and I stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty pen as it allows the glue to only go on places it needs to. I had a scrap piece of red cardstock and I cut the oval bauble (from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Festive Collection Sparkle Baubles set) and then used silver mirror card to cut out the top part. I glued them both to the card usin...
