Wishing you Sunshine and Smiles... flowers and ladybirds 
shaped card

Hi Craft addicts!

Well it is September now and the nights are drawing in (Boooo) so I decided to make this bright and cheerful card using a lot of Hunkdyory's products!


How I made this card:-
  • As I mentioned some time ago, I am trying to use up my older crafty stash and I have had these shaped cards (which I think came from Hunkydory) for ages, and thought I would use one on this card.#
  • I first of all took the flower spray printed sheet (from Prism's Colouring 5" paper pad and coloured the leaves in using 3 shades of green alcohol markers (Prism, Spectrum Noir or Chameleon will do the job really well).
  • I left the flowers white again and cut around the leaves trying to leave as little white space as possible.
  • I then used one of the ladybird stamps from the For The Love of Stamps (once again Hunkydory) Spring Blooms Edge It set and stamped around the petals of the shaped card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink.
  • Once that had been done, I then took a red pencil (from Chameleon) and coloured the Ladybirds in.
  • I then used Glue it Glue (from Pinflair) to attach the topper on to the shaped card.
  • I stamped the Wishing you Sunshine and Smiles sentiment from the same For The Love of Stamps collection on to some white card using Mowed Lawn Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
  • I cut around it and then edged it with the same ink and attached it to the bottom of the card with foam pads.
  • Finally, I used Tonic Studios Key Lime Jewel Drops to beneath each of the Ladybirds.

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...
