Elephants in silhouette at sunrise 7x5in white card no message - Day 105 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card for day 105 of my 365 day challenge is one I have made using a peel off sticker as the main focal point and a hand coloured background.


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all coloured the background with distress and dye based inks to create a sun rise - using reds, oranges and yellows on white linen effect card.
  • I then stuck the Elephants peel off sticker on top of it and trimmed the card to fit it.
  • The main layer is a Spellbinders die cut out of cream linen effect card, the border of which I brushed with brown distress inks.
  • I then stuck it on to some brown card and trimmed it so that there was a narrow border.
  • I cut a narrow strip of the brick textured card and coloured it with Red Brick and Tea Dye Tim Holtz Distress inks and glued it in the centre of the card.
  • I then added the main panel using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue in the middle and then added the elephant topper with foam pads. 

And there you are a card that is a fun card which is simple to make and would be great to give!

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...

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...

There's Gnome one quite like you 7x5 inch card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a fun one using a mix of dies and stamps.. I first of all stamped out the Forest Gnome stamp from Francoise Reads collection by Woodware Stamps (part of the Creative Expressions company) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured it in using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Triblenders and cut each element out as I decided I wanted to use them separately to make up my design. I then cut out the Cracks and Pots dies from Carnation Crafts in white watercolour card and again coloured them in using a variety of the Triblenders until I was happy with the blending. I coloured a small panel of white stamping card (approximately 5" x 4") with Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide for the sky and then a green ink from Simon Hurley - both from Ranger. I edged it with a black alcohol marker and glued it to the front of a 7" x 5" top fold white card using PVA glue. I then stuck on the gnom...
