Little Monsters birthday gatefold card - Day 257 of my 365 day challenge

Little Monsters birthday gatefold card -  Day 257 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I am trying to use up some of my old stock and found these cute monster toppers from Hunkydory so decided to make this A6 gatefold card.... How I made this card:- As mentioned above, I found these fun toppers from a monster collection from Hunkydory, so separated the main one from the frame and placed the latter on both sides of an A6 white gatefold card and stuck it down. Once the glue was dry, I snipped between the two sides to separate them. I then used Gina K Connect Glue to attach the main topper to the left hand side of the card using the frame as a guide. Using foam pads, I then attached the two smaller toppers to either side of the card at an angle. I also used the bat stamp from Bert and Gert's Halloween collection and added them in each corner using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then added one of the sentiments from the same topper collection inside the card. Fi...

Blast off - 3.2.1 Triple aperture DL card...  Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a fun space themed card I have made using Hunkydory's "Out of this world" set of stamps, some inks from Altenew and DoCrafts, along with my Chameleon pencils (which I really love).... How I made this card... I used two of the Hunkydory's DL triple aperture card and cut the front of one of them (trimming it slightly to make sure it fitted the back of the remaining card). I then took the aperture circles out (removing the frames) and stamped 3 of them with the Spaceman, Earth and Spacecraft (from the Out of this World Stamp collection from Hunkydory's "For the Love of Stamps" using Tuxedo Blank Memento ink and left them to dry a bit. I also used the small rocket from the collection and stamped the front of the main card. I then coloured them all in using a variety of Chameleon pencils, Alcohol markers and inks. I wanted the circles to "hang" from ...

Giraffe in leafy frame - C6 white card with envelope -  Day 199 of my 366 day challenge HI Craft addicts! Today's card is a fun and bright card featuring a cute die-cut giraffe . I have left the front blank but have also shown how a message could be added to the front. So first of all, I die cut the "leaf frame" which is part of the Tonic Studios Verso Silhouette Scenes Groom set in black cardstock and backed it on to some white card. I then cut out the "Giraffe" (from the Ark collection from Tattered Lace) and stuck it on to the centre of the frame.  i also coloured the top and bottom of the frame using BT4 (blue) and DG1 (green) Spectrum Noir markers to suggest the sky and grass and TN6 (Tan/Orange) for the Giraffe spots. I had cut out the tattered edge border strip in bright blue cardstcok (from Cricut or American Crafts ) and stuck it to the right hand side of the card leaving a small white edge to it. I then glued the topper t...

Dinosaurs  on hand coloured 5" x 7" white card -  Day 178 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! So for today's card, I have made this cute dinosaur themed 5" x 7" card using a hand coloured background and stamped images. I first of all took a piece of card measuring 4" x 5.5" (approximately) and coloured it in using the Red , Orange , Green , Purple and blue Generation INX pads - I used some torn off paper strips to define where I wanted the different shades to be. I then stamped the main dinosaur image from the " Dinosaurs " collection by Sharon Bennett from Hobby Art using a  Versafine " Onyx Black " ink pad and let it dry. Once it was I used a DoCrafts Artiste "Olive Green " dual tip brush marker to colour it in (am not sure if it is a girl or boy - but could add a bow or something to show that). I used a fine paintbrush to lighten some areas and the brush marker around some of the edges agai...
