There's no Bunny like you... DL card - 365 day challenge

By -

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's latest handmade card is a DL card which could be for Easter or just to say hello!


  • I really love the corner punch from Hunkydory's Prism range and so I rounded the corners of a white DL card.
  • I then cut out a panel of white card and scored it right across it vertically to give it a wooden plank effect and again rounded the corners and glued it to the front of the card using PVA glue, having first edged with a Black Alcohol marker.
  • I used a mix of Green and Brown ink pads (from Simon Hurley and Tim Holtz, both part of the Ranger range) and drew the pads down the card to create a background I liked.
  • I then stamped the carrot and leaf images from the Woodland Friends range from Crafter's Companion using Gina K Obsidian Black ink all over it to add some interest to the background.
  • I also used a Green alcohol ink to colour in some of the leaves.
  • I stamped the Bunny and carrot on to white card again using the Gina K ink and coloured the first two using Spectrum Noir Triblender markers.
  • I then cut them out with scissors trying to leave a narrow white border around all of them and first of all added the Rabbit on to the front of the card with some foam pads, having previously snipped around his leg so that I could glue the carrot in the space.
  • The card on which I stamped the sentiment was left over from another card (the waste from an aperture) and so thought it would be useful to use it for this so edged it with a black alcohol marker and again added it to the card with foam pads.

So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:-

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...
