Happy birthday C6 card with rabbits, a duck and a tree! 
Day 85 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I have been playing with a Tattered Lace die to make the tree along with some stamps to create this Happy Birthday card.


How I made this card:-

  • I cut out the background panel out of this checked khaki coloured paper (from Craftwork Cards) as I thought it suited this design.
  • I used the Woodside Ferns Tattered Lace die and cut it out in green card/paper as I thought it would make a good tree!
  • I used the Lawn Fawn Slide on Semi-circle die and cut it out in a lighter green card and trimmed it to fit the bottom of the panel and stuck it on.
  • I then used some glue to attach the Fern die-cut to the hill allowing it to overhang the top of the panel.
  • I had some of the rabbits and duckling left over from a previous project (these are stamps from Crafty Expressions and Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps) and stuck them around the hill.
  • I then glued the whole panel to the card and used some of DoCrafts Geometric Capsule embellishments to each corner, using one of them to attach the Happy Birthday sentiment to the top right hand side.

And there you are a card that is fun to make and receive when it is a friends' birthday!

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...
