Happy Birthday abstract flower blue,cream and white card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is a plain but I think striking Birthday card which I have made using some dies and a sentiment stamped on matching card...



How I made this card:-

  • I had cut out the main background layer, frame and insert from the Love Conquers All die set (from The Paper Boutique range from Creative Crafting World) in cream and ivory card.
  • I then glued them both together using PVA glue making sure that they aligned properly.
  • I then cut out the middle square (again from the same set) in a blue card and stuck that to the middle of the main background layer.
  • For the flower, I used one of the die sets in their Floral Embellishments pack and cut that out in the same blue and the background layer in the lighter ivory and again glued them together with PVA glue.
  • I then stuck the whole thing on to the front of an A5 white card on the left hand side as I wanted the sentiment to fill the right hand side.
  • For that, I used the Happy and Birthday and one of the banner stamps from a collection from Creative Expressions and stamped them on to some of the blue card using Versamark ink and then heat embossed some white embossing powder on it (brushing it with an anti static bag first).
  • I then cut around it leaving a very narrow edge of the blue card showing.
  • I used foam pads to attach it to the centre right hand side of the card.
  • Finally, I used some Nuvo Drops and dotted them around the flower, frame and also down one side of the sentiment banner.

Products used for this card:-
  • A5 white card and envelope from The Paper Boutique or Hunkydory
  • Love Conquers All die set from Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World
  • Floral sentiment die set again from The Paper Boutique
  • Happy Birthday vertical sentiment stamps from Creative Expressions

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...
