Happy Easter - Bunnies and Easter Eggs C6 green card - 
Day 60 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

Day 60 of my 365 day challenge and this project is an Easter Card which hopefully will cheer someone up! I have used a Crafty Expressions stamps, some background papers from Tonic Studios and Stylish Silhouettes Rainbow Radiants pad.


How I made this card:-

  • I still have some of these shaped cards that I need to use up, so thought an Easter card would be ideal.. I first of all cut a panel of the Flowery Tonic Studios' Mid Summer Morning 8" paper pad using my Cutterpillar Pro and attached it to the front of the card.
  • I then tore 3 strips of green paper (from the Rainbow Radiants 6" paper pad from Hunkydory's Stylish Silhouettes) and used 2 of the darker shade for the top and bottom parts and the lighter one in the middle and stuck them to the bottom of the card.
  • I then stamped out various images from the Crafty Expressions Spring Fun set using Onyx Black Versafine ink and heat embossed them using Clear embossing powder.
  • I coloured them in using various shades of alcohol markers - greys for the rabbits, browns and pinks for the birdhouse, blues and reds for the tulips and greens etc for the Easter Egg.
  • i cut them out leaving a small white border around them all and stuck them on to the card. The rabbit border was stuck on the top of the card with the bird house underneath it. i didn't glue the top of the green papers so that I could place some of the flowers behind them.
  • I also stamped out the Happy Easter sentiment and cut it into two and glued it either side of the egg and just below the bunnies,

And there you are a cheerful and fun card that is simple to make....

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...
