Have a Mice Day! cute mice and flowers 7x5in card - 
Day 95 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is a cute card made from stamped images from For The Love of Stamps and a background cut out on my Brother Scan n Cut.


How I made this card:-

  • I had cut out the holey panel using my Brother Scan n Cut out of brown card (from American Crafts or Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) which measures 95x145mm.
  • I also cut a similar panel using some brick effect card/paper from the Man Made collection from Craftwork Cards and coloured it with Orange, Red and Yellow dye based or Distress inks so that it had an Ombre effect.
  • I stuck the brown card on it and trimmed it to fit.
  • I then cut another slightly larger panel in black card and added a narrow strip of vellum and placed it in the middle, attaching it with some tape at the back.
  • Stamping out the mice and flower images from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps Blooming Lovely collection on to some white stamping card using Onyx Black Versafine ink, I also added clear embossing powder to allow me to use either Alcohol markers or Zig Clean Color pens.
  • I coloured the mice in 2 grey alcohol markers and the flowers with red, orange and yellow water colour pens from Zig.
  • I stuck the flowers on the right hand side in the holes letting some of the inner panel show through.
  • I used foam pads for the mice to give them a bit of height and added them to the remaining spaces.
  • I stamped the Have a Mice Day! sentiment and heat embossed it , colouring it with some ink that was left on the dauber, stuck it to some white card and glued it to the right of the mice at the bottom. 

And there you are a card that is a very stylish one 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

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...
