Food, Glorious Food 2019 mini calendar wall hanging - 
Day 251 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's project is a mini calendar (which you can detach) on a food themed MDF plaque...


How I made this wall hanging:-

  • I first of all covered the MDF plaque with two types of paper - the checkered red and cream paper on the front and a rainbow one on the reverse using a thin layer of glue - PVA is probably the best such as Pinflair.
  • I then stamped out the hot dog, beefburger and tomato ketchup images onto some white stamping card and coloured them in using a variety of alcohol markers - I must admit I was quite pleased with how they turned out... The stamps are from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps and I used Tuxedo Black from Memento to ink them.
  • I also stamped out the ENJOY sentiment from a Craftwork Cards set again using the same ink and then coloured it in using Green and Purple alcohol markers.
  • I cut them all out trying to leave a small white border around them and stuck them to the front of the plaque using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.
  • For the calendar, I measured a piece of the same paper as the front and cut it out and placed it on the bottom part of the plaque. I then added a mini 2019 calendar using hook and loop so that it can be detached.
  • Finally, I used Mod Podge to varnish both the front and back to protect it and added some white cord so it can be hung up. I used a hot glue gun to secure the cord to the back.

And there you are - a gift that would be great for a kitchen or anywhere you like and that is easy to make...

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...
