  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is a plain and simple one made from scratch using dies and stamps. The card has been made from scratch and I took the largest scalloped edge rectangle die from a set from Lisa Horton and cut out two pieces of white card. I then scored one of the longer edges just where the first scallop finishes using my Hunkydory Adorable Scorable and added some red liner tape to it and attached the front part of the card to it making sure they both lined up. I had cut out several of the next size down rectangles (again from the same set as the card itself) and so used one of them to create the topper. I stamped the cocktail glass from the Cocktail range from Thirsty Brush using Gina K's Obsidian Black ink and coloured it in using various colours from Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Neon polishes. I wanted to use them as I thought they would make it stand out. Once I was happy with the result, I then used the Neon pink polish, adde...

Cheers! Cocktails and more cocktails 7x5in white card Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a fun, bright and cheerful one which was easy to make.. hope you like it! How I made this card:- This is a 7" x 5" white card and I used it as a landscape top fold card. I used the Cocktail Stamps from a Rare Earth collection and stamped the two designs directly on to the front of the card using Black Gina K Amalgam ink. I then coloured them in using Hunkydory's Prism Watercolour pencils. Once that was done, I then cut a strip (approx 1") of blue paper (from Create & Craft's Core Collection) and placed in the middle of the card, sticking it down with PVA glue. I also cut out the Ornate frame panel (Spellbinder's) in white card, and whilst the card was still in the die, coloured it with a pale blue dye/distress ink. Once I was happy with the blending, I removed the card from the die and stamped the Cheers! sentiment from the same set as the Cockt...

Party! Tropical leaves and cocktails dl landscape card -  Day 184 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is a bright and cheerful DL card using distress inks, stamps and a mask. How I made this card:- The first thing I did was use the Cocktail Party mask to edge the top and bottom of a DL landscape (with the fold on the left hand side) with the abstract pattern in bright red ink (Festive Berries from Tim Holtz Ranger ink) moving it along to finish the design off. I then let it dry as I didn't want smudges on the front of the card! Once it was, I used Parrot Green ink from Altenew to colour through the palm leaf part of the mask and  once again let it dry. I also used the mask to add the word PARTY! (again from the mask) this time using Catherine Pooler's Something Borrowed (blue) dye based ink. I then stamped the two different cocktails on to some stamping card with Onxy Black Versafine ink and coloured them in using Zig ...

Cocktails and fizz C6 gatefold card - no message - Day 69 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a very simple card to make but is a fun one nonetheless - once again I have used Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps for the main topper and a Rare Earth one for the background. How I made this card:- I first of all stamped the criss cross background directly on to both sides of a white C6 gatefold card using my favourite blue ink pad from Altenew.  I wasn't too bothered that the top and bottom were silghtly misaligned as I was going to add a line to demarcate it anyway.# I then stamped out the 3 different cocktails stamps from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps set on white card and coloured them in using Zig Clean Color pens - I used orange and red with grey/brown for the fizz one... I then cut out a circle in white card (using a Tattered Lace die) and whilst it was still in it. coloured it in using the same blue ink pad (this meant that...

Wine and cocktails 2018 mini calendar wall hanging -  Day 10 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! So today's challenge is a wall hanging that is also a mini-calendar which I have decorated using For the Love of Stamps collection from Hunkydory. How I made this wall hanging:- I took some of this check patterned paper (from First Edition I think) which looked like the padded design you can get and covered both sides of the MDF plaque and trimmed it to fit it - you can sand the edges so that it becomes "locked" in.. I used a pokey tool to "open the holes" again and threaded some burgundy ribbon through them so you can hang it up. I then took the Cocktails and Wine stamps and stamped the wine bottles a couple of times on to stamping card and coloured them in using purple and grey Zig Clean Color pens - I also stamped the corkscrew and coloured that too using the grey pen.  I added some Wink of Stella clear "varnish" and covered t...
