Laugh... girl and flower Z fold card

 Hi Craft addicts!

I had great fun making this card - I must admit I created lots of different shaped cards using the Tartan background paper and this is one of them....



How I made this card
  • You need 2 5" white cards for this process, and you need to fold the front part of the card back on itself and cut it (to the depth you want the fold to be (this one is about 1.5") and reversed it.
  • I then folded the front of the 1st card back on itself so that the fold was in the middle.
  • I measured each panel (there are 5 in total - the two front pieces and 3 in the Z fold) and cut the tartan paper to fit them - it is an A4 pad so you can get all panels out of one sheet.
  •  I then glued them all on to the relevant panels making sure there was a narrow border around all of them.
  • I had all of the die-cuts pre-cut and thought they would go well with this design - the small girl is from Tattered Lace, the Laugh sentiment is a Tonic Studios one and finally the black and white flowers are dies from Spellbinders or Creative Expressions.
  • I had cut the girl and sentiment out in white card and the flower in both white and black.
  • I glued them to the front of the card using Pinflair's Glue-it Glue.
Products you may need to make this card

  • 2 5" White cards and envelopes (any suppliers will do)
  • Tattered Lace small girl die
  • Laugh sentiment die from Tonic Studios
  • Flower dies (open) from Creative Expressions I think
  • White cardstock - any will do such as Creative Crafting World etc
  • Black cardstock - Lynda Chapman's World of Paper
  • Tartan paper - A4 pad from Craftstyle
  • Glue it Glue from Pinflair
I really liked making this card as it looks expensive but doesn't take too long to make if you make all the panels up beforehand.

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...
