Love Salsa dancing Couple C5 card - 
Day 19 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card (day 19 of my 365 day challenge) is another card that could be made and sent for Valentine's Day or just to say I am thinking of you.

How I made this card:-

  • I cut out the red scalloped heart out on my Brother Scan n Cut in good quality card and then cut a straight edged heart in white.
  • I used the Tattoo collection from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps range (from Hunkydory) and used the larger of the hearts and stamped it randomly around the heart using Versafine ink (Black Onyx) and then added the flower in blue, red and green inks (from Altenew and Tim Holtz).
  • I then coloured the hearts in using a red Zig Clear Color pen and let it all dry.
  • I decided that it needed something else so decided to cut out the Salsa dancing couple in black card (it is a Tattered Lace die) as it would stand out more.
  • I also cut out the LOVE Tonic Studios die in both red and black cardstock.
  • Before sticking everything on to the card, I scored both the top and bottom of the front of a C5 card 4 times (at half inch intervals) using my Adorable Scoreboard.
  • I then stuck the heart topper on the front of the card using the top score line as a guide and then the 2 LOVE sentiments using the 2nd score line as a guide and added the small black heart in the middle of them.

And there you are, a card that uses stamps, dies, electronic cutting machines and cardstock from a variety of companies.

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...
