Boo! Halloween square white card Orange and black - 
Day 276 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Halloween is not something that I have usually made cards/projects for but there are some fun products around so thought I would make some for my challenge (day 276 today).


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all decided what images I wanted to use for the main toppers picking the witches' hat, Boo and Ghost from Sweet Dixie and the Skull and spider from Paper Boutique and cut them out in orange and black card (from Create & Craft's Core Collection).
  • I then cut out two pieces of the Orange card using a Tattered Lace Forest Pines Nested Square die and then matched the size with a die from Tonic Studios, this time cutting them out in black.
  • I stuck the ghost and the Boo! on to one of the Orange mats, and then before adding the skull to the remaining one, I placed some white card behind the eyes and mouth and then stuck that down.
  • I repeated this adding the witches' hat and spider on to the black card.
  • I then stuck all four panels on to the front of a 6" white square card using a PVA glue trying to make sure there was an equal distance between them all.
  • Finally, I stamped a Happy Halloween sentiment inside the card using one from Bert & Gert's set - I made an ombre effect using Altenew Red ink cube and some Versafine Onyx Black ink.
And there you are - a homemade/handmade card that is made using only a few products but would be lovely to send to someone to say Happy Halloween!

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...
