  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest card for my mini challenge within a challenge is this A7 card using dies, stamps and inks...       The card is once again from Hunkydory and I rounded the corners with one of their punches. I then took a piece of purple card/paper and fussy cut it to fit the front of the card and stuck it on the front using a tape pen rather than PVA glue. I used Creative Expressions Pixie powders to create the background by tapping some of their brilliant colours on to some watercolour card and spritzed it with some water and let it dry. Whilst that was happening I die cut the rectangle frame (medium sized one from Tonic Studios) several times in white card and glued them together. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. I stamped out the balloons and bear on to some white cardstock using the Birthday bear boy collection from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection, again using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured them in using the Spectrum Noi...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card is one using dies and the waste left over from a die cut to make the background panel... I used a 7" x 5" landscape white card (from Paper Boutique/Creative Crafting World) and rounded the corners with a Hunkydory punch. I then cut out the Into the Woods silhouette die (from Crafter's Companion Pop up collection) using Lynda Chapman's Black card. I had also cut out a scalloped circle in white card (I am not sure which die it is but a lot of Companies produce them) and then coloured a sunrise/sunset background within it using various Hybrid inks. I stamped the sentiment directly on to the image using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I stuck the silhouette panel on to it using PVA glue and a dotty tape pen for the more intricate parts making sure that there is an equal border around it. I had previously used the Lisa Horton Midi Banners Alphabet die to cut some letters out in Lynda Chapman's Black Card and decided that th...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card is one made right from scratch using dies to make the card and all the mats n layers! I first of all used the Filigree Poppy doily die set from Tattered Lace and cut out two of the largest dies to create the card itself. I scored along the top of one of the card using my Adorable Scoreboard from Hunkydory and then added some red liner tape to it, removed the backing and attached the two pieces together making sure that they matched perfectly. I used one of the larger Spellbinders Petit Picot edge circle dies to cut out the main mat using green Metallinks card from Paper Dienamics. I then cut out a slightly smaller layer using a scalloped edged circle die in Lynda Chapman's Black card and then some decreasing circles in white and green card ( both dies and card are from Crafter's Companion). I attached them all to each other using a tape pen as even having 4 layers doesn't actually add much height to the card - bu...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's card for my 365 day challenge is one made totally from scratch - from the card itself to the stamping... I decided to make the card from scratch and so used one of the larger circle dies from Tattered Lace's Circle Mini Lace edge set and cut two out from Sheena Douglass's Willow White cardstock. I scored one of them about 3/4" down from the top using a scoreboard (my one of choice is Hunkydory's Adorable Scoreboard). I added some red liner tape to the above the score line, removed the backing and stuck the two together making sure they lined up properly. I cut out the House in silhouette die (Crafter's Companion Gemini Our Home pop up die) from Lynda Chapman's Black card and placed it on a piece of white card that I had coloured in using a variety of blending brushes with blue, yellow, and brown hybrid inks (Tim Holtz Distress Oxide, Aladine Izinks and Nuvo ink pads). I took one of the Tattered Lace dies (one size up from t...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one using some dies, stamps and some inks! I coloured a piece of white card using yellow, orange, red and pink Distress Oxide and Harmony inks (from Tim Holtz and Crafter's Companion) to make a sunrise (esque) background and spritzed it with some water. I then added some self adhesive paper to the back of a piece of Lynda Chapman's Black card and used the Sweet as Honeycomb Die from Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Bee-youtiful collection to cut it out. Removing the backing sheet carefully, and taking out any waste bits left, I then stuck that to the background and cut around it. I used some foam pads to add it to the front of a top fold white 7" x 5" card trying to make it as central as possible. I then stamped out the Bee NIce sentiment directly on to the card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. Finally I added some Glossy Highlights (or Glossy Accents) to the wings of the bees. So if you think this sounds...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one using some dies, stamps and some inks! I coloured a piece of white card using yellow, orange, red and pink Distress Oxide and Harmony inks (from Tim Holtz and Crafter's Companion) to make a sunrise (esque) background and cut it out using Spellbinder's Petite Picot edge square die. I then added some self adhesive paper to the back of a piece of Lynda Chapman's Black card and used the Bumbling in the Flowers Die from Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Bee-youtiful collection to cut it out. Removing the backing sheet carefully, and taking out any waste bits left, I then stuck that to the frame I had made earlier. I used a dotty tape pen to attach the whole thing to the front of a 5" white card leaving a narrow border all around it. I then stamped out the Bee Kind sentiment on to some white card, coloured it a bit with the residue inks left on my blender brushes and attached it to the bottom right hand cor...
