Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Congratulations stamp and some patterned paper. I must admit i can't remember who produced this patterned paper but think it is Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World.. I rounded the corners of a 5" white square card and thought I would use it as a tent fold (that is with the fold at the top). I then cut out a piece of this foliage patterned paper so that there was a narrow border left when I placed it on the front of the card. Instead of adding a layer of black card behind it, I edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it on using a tape runner pen - so many companies now do them or you could used  a light layer of PVA glue. I then cut a narrow panel (about 2") of the same paper so that it fitted the card and then stuck it to a slightly wider panel of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock and stuck that to the card slightly left of the card front. I then placed the bird and...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this fun card inspired by a video I saw from Gina K Designs on You Tube... I took a piece of white card and added the squares to it directly using a variety of ink pads from Aladine's Izinks - not being too worried that some of them were quite juicy and added a bit more colour in the corner. I left it to dry and then placed it on to a stamping platform and taped it down. I placed the three different stamps (Congratulations stamp set from Stamps by Me) on to the design, picked them up and inked them with Gina K Obsidian Black ink and pressed down. I did this a couple of times as I wanted the silhouettes to really stand out. I cut the panel to about 3x5in and rounded the corners with a Hunkdory punch and then stuck it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card, trimmed it and then rounded those corners too. I then attached it to the front of an A6 white card (I had also rounded the corners of that t...

  Hi Craft addicts!       I really love the stained glass effect dies that various companies produce and this Kingfisher one is no different!  I took a 7" x 5" white card and rounded the corners with my Prism punch as I really like the softer edges. I used Lynda Chapman's Black card and placed it on some self adhesive paper and cut the Kingfisher die out and removed the backing sheet and stuck it to some white card. I then used a mix of Blues, Oranges and Green Spectrum Noir Triblend markers to colour it in. I also rounded the corners of that too with my punch. I used Gina K and Harmony ink with the Dragonfly stamps (from Stamps by Me Sunshine range) and stamped them around the edges of the card, making sure that the main topper fitted inside them. I then used some foam pads to add it to the centre of the card. I like the simplicity of the Congrats sentiment font (from Stamps by Me too) and so cut the mat layer out in white and the word out in black card and stu...
