Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is a Birthday card using various Companies products including dies and stamps.... I used a 7" x 5" white card from Paper Boutique (landscape but top fold) as my base card to make this card and rounded the corners using my Hunkydory Corner punch. I then took a strip of a browny colour Metalinks card (from Paper Dienamics) and cut it out using a Lisa Horton panel die and stuck it to the middle of the card using a tape runner pen. Using a Spellbinders Petit Picot edge oval die, I cut the main topper panel out in Gold Mirri card and then again in White and whilst the card was still in the die, coloured it in using a mix of hybrid inks - pinks, yellows, greens and blues so it allowed a white border to remain. I added one of the Autumnal skeleton leaves from the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion using a dotty tape pen and then placed it in the middle of the card. Finally, the Birthday sentiment is from a Woo...

  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 latest handmade card is another one using the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion along with various other products:- I decided to use the Scattered Leaves stencil from the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion directly on to the front of an A6 white card.  I placed it over the card and used a variety of Autumnal colours (greens, browns and yellows) - mainly Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks but also Harmony inks from Crafter's Companion. When I was happy with the effect, I rounded the corners of the card using a Hunkydory Corner punch. I used the smaller of the Oval Spellbinders Petit Picot edge die and cut it out in white card and whilst it was still in the die I coloured the inside using Nuvo Safari Green ink pad which mean that the outside edge would remain white. I took it out of the die and left it to dry. I cut out the larger of the skeleton leaves using some cardstock that I had previously...

  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...
