Sending Special Wishes floral DL Kraft card - 
Day 94 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I wanted to try out using embossing powders, stamps and dye based inks and am quite place as to how this one turned out for day 94 of my 365 day challenge.


How I made this card:-

  • I took 2 pre-cut deckle edged squares of linen effect white card (67mm) and cleaned it with an anti-static pad and then stamped the flower (from a Rare Earth collection) on to each with Versamagic, added some Bright White embossing powder and heat set it with a heat gun.
  • I then used Orange, Red and Yellow dye based inks (Altenew and Tim Holtz) to colour the squares in (blending them so there were no When I was happy with the result, I took a kitchen roll and cleaned away the ink residue from the flowers so they were a bright white again.
  • For the sentiment, I used a frame from the Essential Inserts Collections - Frames from For The Love of Stamps and the Sending Special Wishes sentiment from another of their collections and stamped them with Versamagic on to some Vellum/parchment and heat embossed it with the same Bright White embossing powder.
  • I coloured a strip of white stamping card with the same orange, red and yellow ink pads and placed the vellum over it, attaching it at the back with some tape.
  • I then stuck the panel on to some white card and placed it in the middle of a DL Kraft card.
  • I then glued the flower panels on to some white card and trimmed them both so there was a narrow border and attached them to the top and bottom of the card using foam pads.
  • I also added a white insert inside the card with a pale orange version of the flower to add continuity.

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 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...
