Day 69 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is a very simple card to make but is a fun one nonetheless - once again I have used Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps for the main topper and a Rare Earth one for the background.


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all stamped the criss cross background directly on to both sides of a white C6 gatefold card using my favourite blue ink pad from Altenew. 
  • I wasn't too bothered that the top and bottom were silghtly misaligned as I was going to add a line to demarcate it anyway.#
  • I then stamped out the 3 different cocktails stamps from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps set on white card and coloured them in using Zig Clean Color pens - I used orange and red with grey/brown for the fizz one...
  • I then cut out a circle in white card (using a Tattered Lace die) and whilst it was still in it. coloured it in using the same blue ink pad (this meant that there was a perfect white border all around it.
  • Using a tape pen, I added the 3 cocktail stamps to it and attached it to the left hand side of the card and used a second one on the reverse so no colour showed through.
  • Finally I added a dark blue/black line on the top and bottom of the card.

And there you are a quick and easy card to make

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...
