Sending Lots of Love Daffodil in silhouette 7x5in card - 
Day 239 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

I am quite obsessed with making cards etc with the main item in black card as a silhouette and so have made this one for day 239 of my 365 day challenge...


How I made this card:-

  • I cut out the Tattered Lade Daffodil die in Lynda Chapman's black card stock and using Midas Touch sticky dots, attached it to some gold Mirri card (Hunkydory or Kanban).
  • I then cut round it leaving a narrow border of the gold Mirri card.
  • Using another Tattered Lace die set (this time the oval label set), I cut the smaller one in white and a large one in black.
  • Before attaching the white panel on to the black, I attached two rows of thin ultra strong red liner tape to the centre of the latter one and added some Gold Glitter Embossing Powder and heat set them.
  • Once I had done that, I glued the white panel (having edged it with some green ink) on to it using Gina K glue (am road testing several types of glue) and then added both to the front of a 7" x 5" white card. 
  • I used the Sending and Lots  of Love stamps from Birch Press Designs to stamp the sentiment on the top left and bottom right part of the card.
  • Finally, I used some narrow foam strips to the back of the Daffodil panel and attached it to the centre of the card.

And there you are card that would be great to give to someone to say you are thinking of them and want to send them love...

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...
