Boo! Trick or Treat Bat on gold background 7x5in black card - 
Day 284 of my 365 day challenge 

 Hi Craft Addicts!

 Today's card is another one for Hallowe'en - this time a bit more stylish as I have kept the colours to black and gold.


How I made this card:-

  • I designed the bat frame in Brother Scan n Cut's Workspace by importing a JPG image to it using the Tracing function.
  • I then added 2 rectangles and placed them on top of each other and then reduced the size of the inner one.
  • Once I was happy with the size, I then subtracted it so that I was left with just the frame.
  • I then added the bat inside it, making sure it was in the right place and then welded the two images together. I sent it to my Brother Scan n Cut and cut it out in black card (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper).
  • I then stuck it to an A6 pre cut piece of Gold Mirror card (it could have been from either Kanban or Hunkydory) and trimmed it so there was a narrow border around it.
  • I used a PVA glue to stick it to the front of a 7" x 5" Black pearlescent card (from Create & Craft's Core Collection) towards the top.
  • I then stamped the BOO! and Trick or Treat sentiments (from Bert and Gert's Halloween collection using Versamagic ink on to black card and heat set them with True White embossing powder.
  • Before  sticking them to some gold Mirror, I then coloured them with red alcohol markers giving it a spooky effect!
  • I then stuck them to the gold Mirri and then added them to the card using foam pads.

And there you are - a homemade/handmade card that was made using only a few products but is fun but stylish for Hallowe'en.

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...
