Happy Birthday Sausage - Dachshund and friends on a narrow DL card - 
Day 103 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 I found these die-cuts stashed away and decided that they would make a great birthday card (with the help of a stamp from For The Love of Stamps for the sentiment).


How I made this card:-

  • I had cut out the dog and cat out of white card (from some Tattered Lace dies) and the Dachshund too (I think it was from a Trimcraft or First Editiion die).
  • I coloured them in using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers - brown, tan and dark brown for the Dachshund, the same for the dog and grey tones for the cat.
  • I then coloured some of Craftwork Cards brick style paper/card with Tea Dye Tim Holtz Distress and Dark Chocolate Altenew ink pads sliding them across the paper to give it a different effect.
  • I decided to use a narrow DL card for this (it measures 69x184mm approx) and stuck the paper to it and trimmed it to fit.
  • I then created a mat layer with white card and created a landscape effect with blue and green ink pads.
  • I stamped the Happy Birthday Sausage sentiment using Onyx Black Versafine ink pad in the middle of the panel waiting for it to dry before sticking the cat and the dog on the right hand side using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.
  • I placed the Dachshund on the left hand side with foam pads as it gave some height and shadow to him (or her) and stuck the whole panel on to the front of the card.

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

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...
