Hello - duo of Dachshunds - hand coloured DL Kraft card -  Day 251 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! For today's card, I have used a mix of hand colouring using Distress inks and colours along with die cuts. The result I think is really good fun and would make a lovely card for someone just to say Hi! To make the background - I first of all cut out a piece of white stamping card and coloured a "landscape" scene using Generation INX "Green G01" and "Blue B01!", Tim Holtz "Mowed Lawn" distress ink and other blue/green shades, I also added a touch of black Memento ink to make the clouds a bit more noticeable. I then cut it to fit the card (it measures 140x95mm ) and edged it in black alcohol markers. To make the embellishments -  I first of all cut out two of the "Dachshunds" i n white card using the "Pets" collection dies from First Edition along with the bone that is in the set. I pu...

Hi craft addicts! I thought in this blog, I would show how I decorated two memo cube blocks  which measure 95x95x95mm and holds 850 sheets of paper.  The red one has been decorated with papers from the Raining Cats n Dogs series   from  Graphic 45  and the blue one with Crafter's Companion Sweet times card). The way that I did them varied slightly and will go through it below:- First of all you need to choose the memo block - there are so many styles and shapes out there that this is just a guide... and take out the paper (making sure you don't damage them or spread them on the floor!) Hopefully by this time you will have decided which paper/card you would like to use - 12"x12" would be the most practical as there will be enough paper to cover all "faces" of the block - though having said that I used the A3 Sweettimes pattern (now no longer available) from Crafter's Companion for the blue one! They do have these  one...

Hi Craft Addicts Here is my latest idea (not new I know but I have put my own "spin" on it and as it is National Stationery Week I thought it would be an idea to keep to that particular theme! So... I have taken a plain shorthand notebook (this is an 80 sheet) , an A7 spiral bound notebook and a pencil and have added co-ordinating papers to make a cheap but stylish gift set - great for young and old alike (also it is quite unisex so would be good for anyone! Shorthand Notebook First of all, I covered the front and back covers with background papers from the Craft Asylum " Into the Woods " 12" x 12" pack. I then have taken one of the die-cut topper with the hello banner matted on to some black cardstock (I used Creative Crafting World  option) to make it stand out from the spotty background. I then stuck it to the cover using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue (but Collall All Purpose Glue works just as well) as it gives you a bit of time to make ...
