I herd it was your birthday (cartoon cow) fun C6 card - 
Day 66 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card for my challenge (day 66) has been made using a Rare Earth stamp on a C6 card from Paper Boutique - think it is really fun and is easy to make.


How I made this card:-

  • I took a pre cut sheet of C6 blue card from PaperCharm and cut out a circle aperture in the centre of it (towards the top) using a Tattered Lace die and edged it with a blue alcohol marker.
  • I then trimmed the whole panel so that it fitted the front of the card and set it aside for the moment.
  • I stamped the cow image from the Wonderful Wildlife set from Rare Earth on to some white stamping card, which I think it is so cute and coloured it in using greys and browns alcohol marker and then stamped two of the flour sacks and again coloured them this time adding a purple flower.
  • I cut them out leaving a narrow white border.
  • I stuck the blue panel on to the white card (leaving the bottom part of the circle unglued) and stuck the cow inside the circle (having cut a small snip in between the legs so that I could hang the front one over the edge.
  • I then stamped the "I herd it was your birthday..." on to some white card and cut it out and again edged it in blue  and stuck it to the middle of the card just under the aperture.
  • Finally, I added the two flour sacks either side of the sentiment using foam pads to give them some dimension.

And there you are a really 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...
