Someone special.. Valentine's Day card
Hi Craft addicts!

Well the sun is shining which makes a change and so have made this slightly different Valentine's Day card using some older and new dies....


 How I made this card:-
  • I had cut out the Someone Special Heart (it is an old Tonic Studios die) ages ago and thought I really need to use it up (like the last card I made). I had cut it out in red card but needed it to have mat layer so I glued it to some pale pink card (which matches one of the abstract Hearts) and cut around it.
  • I have recently got the Plaids, Spots and Stripes card from Paper Dienamics and I used one of the blue patterned pieces and used Broken China Distress inks from Tim Holtz to ink the edge.
  • I then attached it to some darker blue plain card and cut around it leaving a very narrow border.
  • I then attached it to the front of a 7x5in side fold card (from Creative Crafting World) using Pinflair's Glue it glue.
  • Using some other precut backgrounds I had (one scalloped edged rectangle die and another more ornate one which I think are from Spellbinders, I stuck them on top of each other and then attached them to the centre of the card.
  • I cut out the abstract heart (from Sue Baker's Modernista Modern Elements die collection) twice - once in darker pink and another in a paler version and glued them to either side of the main panel and then added the Someone Special sentiment in the centre with some foam pads. 
And there you are a quick and easy card that you could used for Valentine's Day....

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...
