Mum... A6 Mother's Day card  Hi Craft addicts! I hope you all had a great weekend? Here is one card I made recently and I hope you like it! How I made this card I cut out the Paper Cuts Lily of the Valley Edger die (from Creative Expressions) in blue card - I hadn't realised it was quite small but fits an A6 perfectly.  I snipped both ends off and removed all the waste bits using a Pokey tool and then glued it to the right hand side of the card using Pinflair Glue-it Glue. I then cut a panel of Bright Blue card (both shades are part of a pack that Red Button produced some time ago on Create & Craft). I edged it with a darker Bright Blue alcohol marker and attached it to the left hand side of the card using the same glue. I had used the MUM dies (from Craft Buddy) before and these were the "waste" which I decided would go with this design (I must admit I don't usually like green and blue together but this seems to work). I cut a smaller pane...

Hello.... Crane in reeds C6 card Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a very quick and easy one to make and here is how I made it... How I made this card I first of all took a panel of white stamping card and cut it slightly smaller than an A6 (or A2) card. I then cut out the crane in reeds die (I think it is a Pretty Quick one) in Black card and stuck it on to the middle of the panel using Glue it Glue from Pinflair. Once it was stuck down, I then tapped some Electric Blue Cosmic Shimmer (Shimmer Shaker) all over it and spritzed it with water until i was happy with the effect it created. I then left it to dry overnight and then used a sponge dauber to edge the panel with Salty Ocean Tim Holtz Distress ink and then used a Bright Blue alcohol marker to finish it off. Finally, I used one of the Hello sentiments from the Craftwork Cards Year of Sentiments pad and placed it in the bottom right hand corner. I used Pinflair Glue-it Glue to attach the whole panel to the f...

Alice in Wonderland themed A6 Birthday card Hi Craft Addicts! As some of you may know if you read my blog regularly (and I hope you do!), I was offered the chance to use some of Hunkydory's fantastic products and write about them here.... So, today's card is one I have made from the  Once Upon a Twilight   Wonderland collection. It is really simple to make and I hope you will try it too! How I made this card:- I never quite know what to do with the A4 cardstock as sometimes I can't see how I can make a smaller card out of it, but one of the sheets included in the kit leant itself to cutting in half to make 2 A6 cards which I did - keeping the two bits of the design on opposite sides. I then took one of the smaller of the toppers (there are 4 larger and 4 smaller ones in the kit, including sentiments which is great value for just £2.99!)  I stuck it to some ivory/cream card using some PVA glue and trimmed it so there was a narrow border left around it. A...

Happy Birthday...Leaf in silhouette on hand coloured tag A6/A2 card Hi Craft addicts! Nearly the Bank Holiday weekend and so I have made this quick and easy Birthday Card using a Stamps by Me die and some stamps (along with a hand painted tag)... How I made this card:- The base card is an A6 (A2 in the US) which can be got from all sorts of companies such as Hunkydory, Paper Boutique etc.... I had coloured the tag (it is a medium sized cream one) using orange, yellow, green and red water colour paints and left it to dry. Whilst that was happening, I cut a panel of blue card, 4.5" x 5.5" (from Create & Craft's Core Collection) to fit the front of the card and embossed it with the Skinny Woodgrain Embossing Folder from Creative Expressions. When the tag was dry, I place the leafy foliage die from the latest Stamps by Me collection and cut it out in the centre. I will use the actual die cut in a later project as I wanted to use the "waste" cut...

Thinking of you today.. Church in silhouette on hand coloured background A6/A2 card Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is one I have made using a Die for the main focal point on a background I created myself using Distress Oxides. How I made this card:- The base card is an A6 (A2 in the US) which can be got from all sorts of companies such as Hunkydory, Paper Boutique etc.... I used a pre cut A6 panel from Rare Earth and first of all used some Green Gossip inks coloured the hill at the bottom of the cardstock and left it to dry. Whilst that was happening, I cut out the Church silhouette (Serenity die set from Tattered Lace) in black card (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) - I used both the main oval and the inside die together on a magnetic sheet so they didn't move... Once that was done, I stuck some yellow/gold card behind the windows to make it look as if there were lights on - I used a PVA glue as it grabs better than a wet one. I also used a Black alcoh...
