  Hi Craft addicts! Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Thank you card which has an Autumnal feel to it.       I used a landscape 7" x 5" white card from the Paper Boutique range from Creative Crafting World and rounded the corners with a Hunkydory Prism punch. The tartan pattern is from the Autumn Blessings collection paper pad and I stuck it to the card front with a tape pen making sure that the flowers were on the edge and then trimmed it to fit. (It is just under half way across). I added some narrow red liner tape, removed the backing sheet and placed some black foil on top of it and burnished so it added a border to the patterned paper. I used the Skeleton leaves die set from the same collection and cut 2 sets of them out from card that I had coloured using Aladine Izink ink sprays.  I used a dotty tape pen to add them in a random way on the right hand side. I then cut out the Thanks sentiment from the Thanks set within the same collecti...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Birthday card using an embossing folder and inks... I first of all took a piece of white card (I am using Sheena Douglass's Willow White) and trimmed it so that it fitted the inside of the Falling Leaves Embossing folder from the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion and embossed it. I then placed the stencil over it and taped it down and then used a variety of Autumnal coloured inks (ie Walnut Stain, Crackling Campfire, Antique Linen etc Tim Holtz Distress Oxide) until I was happy with the blending and removed the tape. I trimmed it further so it would fit the front of a 7" x 5" white landscape card and used it as a top fold (from Paper Boutique by Creative Crafting World) and edged it with a black alcohol marker and then rounded the edges with a Hunkydory Corner punch. I used one of the  skeleton leaves that I had left over from another project (again a die from t...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is unusual for me as it is a large square one but thought it turned out quite well!  I rounded the corners of a 7" square card (these are from Hunkydory) first of all. I then cut out the three parts of the Nested Stitched Bubble square dies from Lisa Horton - the largest in white card and kept it in the die and used some Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to give it some depth but it still allows the  bubble part to stay white. I then cut out the straight edged panel in brown card from the Autumnal Blessings cardstock range and then the smaller bubble panel in yellow from the same kit and stuck them all together using tape pens. I cut a piece of the brown card (from the same pack as before) and then attached the main panel to it and used a Guillotine (mine is a Memory Keepers one) to trim it and then rounded the corners again with the Hunkydory punch. I used...

Hi Craft addicts!      I have created a series of cards using the Autumn Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion along with various other products to complete them! I had great fun making this simple but effective DL card. I used a variety of Aladine Izink sprays and spritzed a yellow piece of card (from Tattered Lace) to create an Autumn feel background and left it to dry. Once it was, I used the Skeleton Leaves Die set from the Autumn Blessings collection and cut the three leaves out. I had previously used Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Slimline Decorative Rectangle Aperture Trio die and cut some of Lynda Chapman's Black card I then stuck it on to some gold mirror card and trimmed it to fit and then edged it with a black alcohol marker. I then used a dotty tape pen (from Crafter's Companion Gemini range) to stick the leaves inside the apertures and then stuck it to the front of a DL card (having previously cut the corners of the card and scored three lines on the...

Hi Craft addicts!       As it is now officially Autumn, I have created a series of cards using the Autumn Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion along with various other products to complete them for my 365 day challenge! The first one is this Congratulations card... I first of all used a variety of Aladine Izink sprays and spritzed a yellow piece of card (from Tattered Lace) to create an Autumn feel background. Once it was dry, I trimmed it to fit the Autumnal Foliage 3D embossing folder, placed it inside and put it through my Big Shot foldaway cutting machine. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. For the main topper, I took a tag from Hunkydory's Prism range and using some of their Washi tape to mask the centre, coloured both sides of the tag with Yellow and Orange inks (Hybrid inks) and left it to dry before taking the tape away. Once dry, I then used the Autumnal Tree layering stamps, following the numbers and used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Walnut ...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's card for my 365 day challenge is a very quick and easy one that you can easily make into a larger card giving more white space. I first of all rounded the corners of a 4" white card using a Hunkydory's punch. I had a small scalloped edged rectangle from a previous project (Creative Expressions Slimline dies) and decided that the Conker stamp from the Autumn Blessings Pumpkin Patch stamp set from Crafter's Companion and stamped it on to the card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I then used Spectrum Noir's Triblender markers to colour it in, trying to create the impression of its' shiny shell. Once I was fairly happy with the result I then stuck it to some hand coloured card with a tape pen. The pennant part of the design is 2 dies from the Paper Boutique's Essential Nesting Dies Vol IV and I cut them out in the same card stock as the Conker image and stuck them together again using a tape pen. I stuck the pennant down first in...
