  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this one made totally from scratch. I used the largest circle (about 4") Petit Picot edge die from Spellbinders and cut out two pieces of card - the front is Paper Dienamic Metallink A4 card and the back part is Sheena Douglass A4 white willow card. I scored the back part about 3/4" towards the top and married the two pieces together and added some red liner tape, removed the carrier sheet and stuck them to each other. The black frame is cut out of Lynda Chapman's Black card using the Inverted Scallop die from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection and I stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty pen as it allows the glue to only go on places it needs to. I had a scrap piece of red cardstock and I cut the oval bauble (from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Festive Collection Sparkle Baubles set) and then used silver mirror card to cut out the top part. I glued them both to the card usin...

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Christmas card which is really simple to make. I used a 6" square white card (I use either Hunkydory or Paper Boutique as they are really good quality) and rounded the corners with my new Stamps by Me 3-1 corner punch. I then took a piece of the snowflake paper from Paper Boutique's Christmas Gnomes 8" paper pad and cut it to 5" square and again rounded the corners and stuck it to the front of the card using a Tape pen. Using Tattered Lace's Filigree Poppy Doily die set, I cut out the matt layer in yellow linen effect card and the more intricate panel in white and stuck them together using a Dotty tape pen so the glue only went on the bits that needed it. The Season's Greetings sentiment was made using Lisa Horton's Christmas stamp and die collection. I first of all stamped the frame out using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and then added the sentiment afterwards.  I also add...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card is a Christmas card for my 365 day challenge...I hope you like it. Using my Hunkydory Adorable Scoreboard, I scored two lines down the left hand side and 6 lines at the bottom of the card to add some interest to the card as I wanted this card to be predominately white. I had used a scalloped edge die to cut out the circle and then used the waste of a smaller circle die cut to ink through it using yellows and orange hybrid inks to create the sun. I then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to colour the sky in and then edged it with a black alcohol marker. The Snowman and Goose along with the sentiment are from For the Love of Stamps and Crafter's Companion Gemini stamp collections and I stamped them on to some scraps of white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and then coloured them in using Spectrum Noir Triblender markers. I fussy cut around them all, colouring the sentiment topper with a lighter shade of the sun and stuck that d...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a very quick and simple card to make using no dies whatsoever. I first of all rounded the corners of an A6 white card (any will do) - I either use the new one from Stamps by Me which has 3 different size of punch in one or the Hunkydory Prism one which just has one). I took one of the toppers from the Paper Boutique Gnome Christmas set and stuck it to some Green linen effect card and rounded the corners of them too. I fussy cut a strip of the holly paper that comes within the set (approximately 1.5") and placed it the centre of another sheet of the same green card and then trimmed it to fit the front, rounded the corners of it and attached it using a tape pen (either Create & Craft or Crafter's Companion). I added the topper to some cream card and trimmed around it so it had a really narrow border and placed it in the middle of the card using some foam pads to give it some height. So if you thin...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a Christmas card themed one using dies, stamps and alcohol markers. I rounded the corners of an A6 Kraft card (from Tonic Studios) using my Hunkydory punch. I then took a piece of white card, cut it to fit the front of the card and also rounded the corners of that too and attached it using a solid Tape pen (either Create & Craft or Crafter's Companion). I cut out the oval frame using Spellbinders Oval Petit Picot edged die in both the brown Metallink card (from Paper Dienamics) without the centre die and then again in white card, this time adding it so that I could use it to stamp on. I stamped the Snowman image (part of Crafter's Companion Wobblers collection) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and coloured it in using alcohol markers. I then used some residue ink left on my blending brushes to colour its' background and then stuck it to the oval frame using the tape pen. I decided to attach it to one...

Happy Christmas Snowman on Tartan background Christmas Card Hi Craft addicts! Goodness Christmas is nearly here! This is a fun card I made using stamps, dies and a Peel-Off sticker.... How I made this project:- This is a 7" x 5" white card which you can buy from most Craft Companies - such as Create and Craft, Hunkydory and Creative Crafting World and I have used it landscape instead of the usual portrait. Tartan makes such a fun background that I used this red, green and black one to make the backing, trimming an 8" piece of paper (from a Hunkydory pad). I attached it to the front of the card using PVA glue and then cut a strip of the reverse side (Green) approximately 1.5" wide and the length of the main panel and then another one from the Tartan slightly narrower and stuck them together with PVA glue again. I then attached that to the main panel making sure that it didn't go over the edge. I cut out 3 circle frames - two in white ...

Merry Christmas Snowmen skating square Christmas card Hi Craft addicts! I hope you had a great weekend! Here is a fun card I made using stamps and dies.... How I made this project:- This is a 6" white card which you can buy from most Craft Companies - such as Create and Craft, Hunkydory and Creative Crafting World. I have found a love of all things Tartan and so cut a panel of this dark purple Tartan to fit the front of the card leaving a narrow border all around and attached it using PVA glue (such as Pinflair's Bookbinding or Cosmic Shimmer). I then cut out the largest panel Holly frame die from Sweet Dixie in white card (you will need an A4 cutting machine to do this (such as the Cut n Boss or Gemini). I put it in to my 8" Rare Earth Load and Fold, taped it down with some low tack tape and stamped the Skating Snowmen (from Woodware Stamps) onto it using Gina K Black Amalgam ink.  I coloured the Snowmen in (just the edges) with a couple of sha...

How I made this project:- This is a C6 white linen effect card which I bought ages ago from Craft Creations but you can of course use any type of base card! I cut a panel of this red tartan paper (from Hunkydory's 8" paper pad collection) to fit the front of the card leaving a border all around it and attached it using PVA glue. I then used a stamping platform (again there are so many brands around - from Stamps by Me Eureka 101 to Rare Earth's Load n Fold.  I arranged the two Robins stamps opposite each other (from a Woodward collection), the two Holly leaves and then the Have a tweet Christmas sentiment and stamped them all on to some white stamping card (This is Hunkydory's Ink Me) using Gina K's Black Amalgam ink. I coloured the Robins in using two shades of Brown alcohol markers (from H...

Happy Christmas Penguins and Igloo square card Hi Craft addicts! I like using a variety of Companies when making my projects and this card is no exception! How I made this project:- This is a 5in white square card (which are available from a variety of Companies such as Hunkydory, Creative Crafting World and so on). I have had this A4 pad of a variety of Tartan papers for ages and so cut a strip (approximately 2" wide) and attached it to the left hand side of the card using PVA glue. I then stamped out two of the Penguins and the Igloo from Lisa Horton's Penguin Fun stamp set from Creative Expressions using Gina K's Black Amalgam ink on to some white stamping card. I coloured them in using alcohol markers (both Hunkydory's Prism and Spectrum Noir) and cut them out close to the edge, which I then coloured in with a Black alcohol marker. I stuck the Igloo and smaller of the Penguins down with PVA glue and then attached the larger one to the right h...
